Who's the Pricks, Open Border and Sanctuary City People or Law Abiding Citizens?
You don't have to answer that, we pretty much know your response.
I'd say the pricks are the ones that attempted to pass an UNCONSTITUTIONAL law..and the ones that continue to support it despite it being struck down by the SCOTUS.

It all sounds good in theory but they will and do arrest people who can not provide information on themselves , that is the real world not the paper one .

In 2008 Judge Neil V. Wake made the ruling that Maricopa Counties jails were kept in unconstitutional conditions. He specifically focused on the conditions pretrial inmates were kept. I can't emphasize enough that these were pretrial inmates. In other words they were innocent in the eyes of the law. Among other violations that the MCSO was guilty of were packing inmates in like sardines in hot, poorly ventilated, cells, serving rancid and rotting food, and denying inmates medical attention and prescribed medication. The MCSO were then given two years to fix things before conditions would be once again investigated. In 2010 it was once again ruled that the conditions in MCSO run jails were unconstitutional. I'm not sure where things stand on this matter now.
The reason why Arpaio has not been ousted is because he is an elected official and the most flagrant violations he has been guilty of can be pinned on the MCSO as a whole. The only charges you can really pin on Arpaio himself are the charges of abuse of power but that really only gets him a slap on the wrist. I can guarantee however that if Arpaio were the manager of a company his actions would have gotten him fired long ago. Under his leadership the MCSO has cost the taxpayers of Maricopa County millions. They have had to pay $50 million in lawsuits alone, then there's also the money they've also had to pay in fines. I don't want to even know how much federal funding they've lost over the years due to Arpaio's actions. Then there's just the bad reputation the MCSO has picked up under Arpaio. He is a horrible sheriff and if he were in any other profession he would have been fired long ago.

So basically, Sheriff Arpaio could literally sexually molest ten year old boys and girls in front of millions of people on national TV and the birthers would turn a blind eye to his crimes because he's going after obama and trying (and failing) to drum up "evidence" that Obamney is born in Kenya.
Gee, this hero worship. Arpaio derangement syndrome.
As bad as the obama bots.
I guess the ends really do justify the means. Scratch that, it doesn't matter what means any characte does as long as they get Obama out.
The only other people this bad with hero worship are Christians who worship their foul God.

I would like to know more about the child porn what ever, and Arpaio. Where is this coming from? I have heard nothing about this.
I think this MUST be the usual pedophile noose being strung around his neck by the Obama hit squad.

Do some research for crying out loud. There are dozens of these cases.
And frankly, the idea that, since occupancy is up but funding is not that unconstitutional treatment, not only of prisoners, but of those that are PRE-TRIAL, should be accepted is ludicrous.
PRE-TRIAL. It means they have not been convicted. Which means THEY ARE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. Which is where Joe steps across the line the most. ONE DOES NOT HAVE TO PROVE THEIR INNOCENCE IN THIS COUNTRY. It is up to the accuser to prove guilt.
Joe REALLY doesnt like that. Hed rather be judge, jury, and executioner in every single case, innocent or not.

Hey, I totally agree with you!
Jail sucks and is not the place to be innocent or guilty. The trick is NOT GOING THERE TO BEGIN WITH!
One can only hope the innocent have the funds to bail out.
I wonder what the ratio is for innocent people to those found guilty? Were they actually innocent? Just how many 'innocent' people have to endure Arpaio's nightmare?
So, that is the hold up then, Innocent people being locked up in bad (unconstitutional) conditions?
I again fall back to.. DO NOT put yourself in the position of being locked up and if you are, have a fat bank account. Nothing is perfect.
You have not broken my Arpaio love LOL
