Arpaio is running at about 50 times the rate of most other jurisdiction for inmate lawsuits. The politic shenanigans that goes on here is par for the course. If it isn't the Sheriff's office, it's the Attorney's Office (pick any one at any one time), if it's neither, it's the Legislature, if not them, the Governor. But Arpaio's is writ large, and usually pretty silly. He has filed a federal Lawsuit against AZ on conspiracy regarding Stoddard. The Sonoran desert is beautiful, as well the Mogollon Rim. Sigh... Anyone for popcorn? It's going to be a long show. Ok, I’ll strike the word “seemingly” from my post #7. Arpaio is running at about 50 times the rate of most other jurisdiction for inmate lawsuits.

Those papers represented an immediate lethal hazard to everyone in that courtroom and building. He saw that dangerous paper from 5 to 8 feet, one he hadn't seen before, and then only had to rifle through them to find the right one. Yep, he was upholding Truth, Justice, and the American way. I actually believe in those last few words, Grand Experiment and all that, but you don't. Bugs Bunny had a word for you. Jeff,

Mistakes will happen but knowingly doing it is a different matter, even ignorance of common knowledge is not an excuse (I'm being nuanced here, whatever the hell that means. I am drawn to the same standard applied to the rest of us, ignorance is no excuse.) For Prosecutors: knowingly withholding evidence, or falsifying in anyway, should be criminal. Period. For LEOs: falsifying reports or perjury, and clear excessive force, should remove their certification forever. Period. Acts that are not established law, in other words ambiguous, should not. Neither group has a right to their job, or a right not to live in disgrace. Police unions need to be reigned in or dissolved when they support liars or perjurers. The technicalities need to go. Sorry I took so long to respond. Craig Joke #27,

He teaches techniques on how to be less violent while still accomplishing the ultimate power of the Police: the handcuff. Too many cops think its the gun. It isn't, it's the handcuff.

But I'll begin here: Bizzatches #41 Finally the prize winner. You are the only one to get it right. I had already looked up the variants before I started the OT. I occasionally like to pull chains. A guilty pleasure. I remember hearing "Bee-itch" (as well "Shee-it") in the Imperial Valley in the 60s, and "bee-atch" is just a vowel change. I still think it has some Italian gangster origins. But no proof. The Biotch variant just looks ignorant to me. IDHADN #40, Exactly right. That is what I see in Maricopa County. Arpiao has done some things right but a lot of things wrong. He should not be Sheriff, let alone Governor. But the voters decide. Also, I do prefer to see legal rather than illegal immigration, I am not for Open Borders. The racial profiling bothers me because of what it does to Latino Americans, but I can't see how you handle it when the vast majority of illegals here are not from the Swedish Bikini Team. I also believe that the USA should look south and west for its future, with stronger ties to Mexico, Brazil (non-latino of course), and Argentina. I preach to my kids to learn Spanish and to be more familiar with Asia. SSS #38 Given that both Jones and Johnny Law have called me anti-cop (JL called me paranoiac too) and that I have been calling out against police brutality for a long time, your entire post is laughable. I assume it was from a conversation you had with the mirror. But I won't call cops pigs. Ever. I hated it in the 60s and I hate it now. Cops are good, bad, and/or flawed. They are people. I have had guns and shotguns drawn on me, my life threatened, and been in handcuffs. I have seen police brutality, minor but still brutality. I have also had cops protect me from other cops twice in my life. Why would I hate the cops that protected me? People are not symbols. But evil or misguided people turn other people into symbols, then either mindlessly follow those symbols or mindlessly brutalize those symbols. Why would you ever want to be that kind of person? Jon #37, just read the above. I do realize you see it as venting. If I thought Carlos was anti-cop, I wouldn't come here. He'd be part of the problem not part of the solution. Police culture needs to change. The Internet is the only hope to change minds. The MSM has proven itself near worthless in this regard. So much to say and so little time. But I’ll begin here:

Deputy Fife was not only taking direction from someone off camera, but was not doing his real job which is to be vigilant for a security crisis. He was too busy snooping for crap that has nothing to do with him. FIRE him. No questions needed. He abandoned his post and duty. It's on video. What a knuckle head. Must have graduated last in his class. Fire the goofball and the retard sheriff who grandizes himself.
