And it would be so simple if that's all it was. We have cases of MCSO officers pulling over card for traffic offenses and arresting the US citizen passenger for being off Hispanic descent while letting the driver off without even a warning.
Do you have evidence for that, or is it just claims? How do we know they weren't arrested for something else? Allegations are made all the time, but they aren't always true. Also, how do we know it wasn't people with fake ID?

And what does ancient history to do with current events?
What do your ancestors have to do with you being born?
Are you saying that you would like to go back to the days of slavery because your ancestors were perfectly OK with it? Ridiculous argument.
Society evolves.... or dies. You guys better make a good choice.
Slavery is paying the taxes that the government decides you will pay. Slavery is paying for health care and not getting it without a tracking chip in your skin, or brain. Slavery is one vote away conscription for any war that government incompetence may have enjoined. Slavery is working for money that loses its value every year.
You have never heard "Those who don't know history are condemned to repeat it" ? Seriously?
Your argument was that we are predisposed to be like our ancestors. They had slaves. HUMANS. You can attempt to poopoo that away but it's not going to play. Your, supposed, slavery is nothing compared to the indignity of what slaves went through. I think that's kinda sick but that's just me.

Look up Melendres v. Arpaio. What law was Melendres breaking when he was detained? Clearly none since he was never charged and Maricopa County had to pay $4 million.

You have violated due process by assuming the accused guilty before trial.
Do you even know what that means? Again: I am not government, so the Constitution doesn't apply to me.
Joe Arpaio has broken the law, and has violated the rights of citizens.

So no-one cares if thousands of illegals are in the US committing crimes, but the government needs to arrest the cops who are against thousands of illegals committing crimes and people are good with that.
Stop the world, I'd like to get off, please.

Because of the southern border crackdown (you know, the one that never happened), the biggest problem now is the ocean. They're coming in by boats.

So the taxpayers were on the tab for his misuse of power?

Do you know for a fact that Joe Arpaio has violated any AZ or Maricopa County laws?

Yup, but Good ole boy Joe hates Mexicans and Obama so it's all good.
The Sheriff has been under blackmail from the Administration.

Jesus.
COTUS, Article VI, Clause 2:
"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding."

Can you provide any evidence of that? You seem to imply many things and make lots of accusations, but never have the goods to back it up.
