WASHINGTON, Aug 25 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday granted a pardon to former Arizona lawman and political ally Joe Arpaio, the self-proclaimed "toughest sheriff in America," less than a month after he was convicted of criminal contempt in a case involving his department's racial profiling policy.

Pardoned for enforcing the law, not breaking it.
Excellent! Now lock up the real lawbreakers!!
Excellent! Now lock up the real lawbreakers!!
However we all know that the real "crime" he was "convicted" of, in the first place, was being a Donald Trump supporter.
Is racial profiling against the law or is it against the Left’s sense of social justice?
...”Pardoned for enforcing the law, not breaking it.”...
This is just the best news. This man refused to enter into sedition against his country and kept his vow to carry out the law of the land. For that, he was punished by the Orwellian creeps who want to make their own law and just about have done it, too, until Donald Trump came along. America has another reason to rejoice today. God bless Sheriff Joe. He is a real American.
It's only against the forever outraged sensibilities of left wing, liberal, socialist, pinko commie geek, POSs. Screw them.
This should really p-off the Kenyan team
“Racial ‘profiling’” is baby talk.
The left has no problem “profiling” when it’s “affirmative action”
Their hypocrisy is duly noted
Thank you Pres. DJT .
What was his actual crime anyways?
Boy, that was some short article. They don’t elaborate much when they’re in a snit do they? lol
He never should have been charged in the first place, he was doing his job to serve and protect, to uphold state and federal laws. His only fault was that he supported Trump and that to the democrats is worthy of the death penalty. Obama couldn’t have an honest cop around and one that was investigating his birth to boot.
A Hispanic person is a type of Ethnicity and not a Race Classification. I am so tired of the Libs using the word ‘racist’ and Hispanic together.
When Trump did the expected I was hoping he would have reviewed cases where those serving in the armed services ran afoul of ROE (rules of engagement) are sitting in Levanworth for some phoney reasons and also announced pardons for them. It would have focued on how politicized the courts have become.
Sheriff Joe made one mistake as far is the left is concerned...he enforced the law. Donoldo The Great did the right thing in granting this pardon.
All those red spots you will see, are Liberals who’s head’s exploded,
Misdemeanor contempt of court.
