| Subject: That maggot, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, has been called out, in a scathing 22-page Justice Department report Sun Dec 18, 2011 12:08 am | |
| At long last Joe Arpaio, America’s self-proclaimed toughest sheriff, will have to face the music — and you can be sure it won’t be Christmas carols.
As nasty a human being as they come, the infamous Maricopa County Sheriff was exposed in a scathing Justice Department report, made public on Thursday, as the racist bully every immigrant — especially Latino — has known him to be for years.
The Justice Department’s expert on measuring racial profiling said it was the most egregious case he has seen, according to Thomas Perez, who heads the department’s civil rights division.
Yet, in a Thursday afternoon press conference, Arpaio, in grandiose terms, played the victim.
“This is a sad day for America,” he said, and went on to blame President Obama for orchestrating a “witch hunt” against him for political reasons. The guy has gall.
It took the feds three years, but the 22-page report details evidence that Arpaio, 79, engaged in a pattern “of unconstitutional policing” that created “a chronic culture of disregard for basic legal and constitutional obligations.”
The Department of Homeland Security followed up by giving Arpaio the boot and cancelling the rest of its 287(g) agreement with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.
Arpaio’s abuse of power is almost unbelievable blatant. According to the report, for instance, Latinos are four to nine times more likely to be pulled over in traffic stops in Maricopa County than non-Latinos. It also found that the sheriff’s department treated all Latinos as if they were undocumented.
On top of it all, it was recently revealed that Arpaio's office mishandled more than 400 cases of sex crimes against minors — many of them children of undocumented immigrants — from 2005-2007.
“The bells have tolled for justice and we expect justice to be served,” said Angelica Salas, executive director for the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles.
“The report by the Justice Department is an indictment on Arpaio and on the Obama Administration for blindly supporting and expanding discriminatory and racist practices through immigration enforcement programs such as Secure Communities,” Salas added.
