Sheriff Joe responds: I'm no 'whipping boy' for Justice Department
MSNBC ^ | 12/15/11 | Staff

Posted on 12/15/2011 9:15:49 PM PST by Nachum

Phoenix - Sheriff Joe Arpaio said a scathing U.S. Justice Department report about his office's law enforcement tactics against Latinos marks "a sad day for America as a whole." Billed as America's toughest sheriff, Arpaio struck a defiant tone at a Thursday afternoon news conference in response to the report, which he called a politically motivated attack by the Obama administration that will make Arizona unsafe. (Snip) Homeland Security also will restrict the sheriff's office use of the Secure Communities program, which uses fingerprints collected in local jails to identify illegal immigrants.

I think Perry has been very clear on the matter.

Didn’t matter the “choice of words” — what he intended to do, and with what passion, was clear.

Checkered past, as has Newt, neither of which are “enemies” in the sense that Mitt Romney is.

So the murdering, gun-running, money-laundering, Black Panther vote-intimidating, criminal enterprise known as the Department of Justice has a problem with Sheriff Joe?

The illegal-alien usurper in the White House, Attorney General, State Department, Homeland Security, ATF, FBI, DEA are responsible for the murders of Brian Terry, Jamie Zapata, hundreds of “Latinos” in Mexico, and the butchering of the Constitution.

It’s not audacious it’s galling.

Somehow I don’t get the feeling that prospect bothers Sheriff Joe very much.

That’s a man who clearly loves a good fight.

We have a lawless administration who will use the full force of the federal government against American citizens for political purposes. Using the federal government against a citizen for poliltical purposes should be an impeachable offense.

“Homeland Security also will restrict the sheriff’s office use of the Secure Communities program, which uses fingerprints collected in local jails to identify illegal immigrants.”

So they punish Joe by restricting and obstructing his
ability to perform his elected duties? Now they have made it
obvious, Joe’s got something on Obama.

This goes waaaay beyond stovepiping and ‘the wall’. This is a deliberate witholding of a law enforcement tool that other jurisdictions use. Who would be next??? People better stand up and take notice...Sis, Holder, 0bama must go.

“They are withholding a tool the sheriff could use to do his job? Do they think that the tool belongs to them personally? Or is it the property of the United States of America to be used for all law enforcement agencies?”........

Sounds to me the pot is calling the kettle black. Isn’t this discrimination in itslef?

I can't wait...hopefully some well documented, prosecutable crimes will be revealed

...moochelle is in a panic over the Arpaio investigation.

Double double toil and trouble
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

They took out Sarah, then Cain...with character assassination and real death threats, everybody had better watch the Sheriff's six.

Arpaio had better think about getting the eligibility & fraud investigation results out before February. This concerted effort (by the administration & their allies in the liberal MSM) to destroy Arpaio's credibility is well under way. February is giving them way to much time to do their evil work.

The report released Thursday said that Arpaio's office carried out a blatant pattern of discrimination against Latinos.

Most news on this has said that Sheriff Joe is guilty of 'racial profiling'. It would be difficult to come up with a dumber, more ridiculous charge considering what nation(s) border Arizona to the south.

Of course the illegal aliens in Arizona are overwhelmingly Latino. This is a prime example of just how politicized, dishonest and corrupt our so-called Justice Dept. and entire federal government have become.
