The federal government issued a scathing report Thursday that outlines how Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office has committed a wide range of civil rights violations against Latinos

The Justice Department's conclusions in the civil probe mark the federal government's harshest rebuke of a national political fixture who has risen to prominence for his immigration crackdowns and became coveted endorsement among candidates in the GOP presidential field.

The report will require Arpaio to set up effective policies against discrimination, improve training and make other changes that would be monitored for compliance by a judge. Arpaio faces a Jan. 4 deadline for saying whether he wants to work out an agreement. If not, the federal government will sue him and let a judge decide the complaint.

If this cowardly crap goes anywhere at all, we should start an enormous protest, get the local TEA parties to overrun the courthouse, send emails, mail, faxes, and make phone calls until they stop this outrageous behavior.

I really hope that we regain the reins of our country and deal properly with these evil traitors and abusers of their offices. God forgive me, I hate these people.

If I hear the homo marxist mozlim bastard yakking again, I'm gonna pop an artery.

[VikingMom]

I don’t think that Sheriff Joe will take that deal....and I hope this pushes him to release his info sooner than February.

(I’m sure he has taken all necessary precaustions and left copies in numerous places to be opened in case of his “sudden departure to Gitmo”!

“In my book, it won’t be good enough to be rid of them in 2012 via the Election; they should be PROSECUTED for Treason, the whole lot of ‘em, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW. “

Herd that.

This is from a Federal DOJ that is selling guns to Mexican drug cartel gunmen , trading free passage of Sineola cartel drug shipments for intel about other cartels & now has been found to be laundering drug cartel money . The sad part is that the traitors to this nation in the MSM will run with it.

[kenmcg]

Talk about a political witch hunt. The DOJ spends its time importing guns to Mexican drug lords. The administration is involved in scandalous activities 1/2 billion worth with Solyndra and other companies. A big RAT operative, a former Senator and Gov. of NJ fleeces a business for over 1 billion.
And the DOJ spends its time castigating an exemplary law enforcement official for getting the job done. Give us a brak!!

[rmlew]

Holder and Obana decided the verdict before created the investigation to find or manufacture evidence.

[glock26]

You must not know Sheriff Joe Very Well. He will never give in to intimidation, he will never take a bribe and he will NOT STOP HIS INVESTIGATION OF OBAMA!

[TigersEye]

The report will require Arpaio to set up effective policies against discrimination,...

Like what? Setting up quotas for arresting non-hispanic illegal aliens? lol

[RC2]

I never said he would give in. I just mentioned what I see coming down from the White House.

[TigersEye]

Arpaio faces a Jan. 4 deadline for saying whether he wants to work out an agreement. If not, the federal government will sue him and let a judge decide the complaint.

That is intimidation and blackmail and it is not even thinly disguised.

[GladesGuru]

“If not, the federal government will sue him and let a judge decide the complaint.”

More presstitution. A jury decides, not a Marsupial Magistrate.

[Coronal]

Hardly unexpected. Keep in mind that this began on GWB’s watch.

[GladesGuru]

Stupid Democraps are investigating Arpaio for “botched sex-crimes cases” as a function of anti-Hispanic bias? ? ?

Hispanics commit several times as many sex crimes as whites on a population adjusted basis. Yet Holder claims “botching” sex crimes committed disproportionately by Hispanics is somehow prejudicial to Hispanics?

[stevie_d_64]

So he violated the “civil rights” of people who are illegally in this country??? Non-citizens...

Whoa...head-rush...

I didn’t know illegals had civil rights...Did I miss that memo???

[stevie_d_64]

Maybe some of us need to get in front of him...

[Gaffer]

No official charges or indictments. This is just attempted intimidation and threat. He should tell Holder “Put the EFF up or STFU!” and then go buy an ice cream cone or whatever he likes to do to treat himself... USJD is impotent in this, else they would have charged.

[greyfoxx39]

USJD is impotent in this, else they would have charged

Good point. As I said, this is an attempt to get Fast and Furious out of the public domain.

[sergeantdave]

States and sheriffs also have the power to investigate, arrest and imprison lawbreakers, including criminals in the federal government. Way past time to start using that power.

[Seizethecarp]

“Keep in mind that this began on GWB’s watch.”

The DOJ investigation reported on this week was initiated in March 2009 by the infamous Loretta King, right about when Holder was confirmed, IIRC.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Well, I’m sure Arpaio is also jailing all the illegal Serbs, Croats, Jamaicans and Haitians in Arizona? What? You say there aren’t any of those in Arizona; that they’re all Mexicans, etc.??
