I agree with you on his issues but he fits AZ attitudes of CONSERVATIVE

hey wench

i have made referance to his tent city incarceration a few times

wish we had a search so i could show them to you

there was a special on him and his jail on one of the direct tv
channels abut a year or so ago it was very interesting

and yes it is about time

ya would hope the idea would spread

with all the bull sh#t with Paris Hilton, I was thinking about him.
Could you just see her in his jail. I'm sure he would have her believing
in God. " GOD, WHY DID I DO THAT"

This is funny. I dont live there, and dont really care, but his county
does! http://www.arpaio.com/joe_arpaio_truth.htm

Top Ten Reasons to RECALL Joe Arpaio
1: With Arpaio, real law enforcement takes a backseat to publicity
stunts. 6: The self proclaimed “Toughest Sheriff in America ”
is too fearful to debate other candidates.

2: He lives in a fantasy world of self-importance. 7: Arpaio
routinely abuses his authority for personal, political, and vindictive
reasons.


3: Millions of tax dollars have been wasted on lawsuits 8: Many
community leaders and concerned organizations have looked beyond the
smokescreen to see the corruption and incompetence of the Arpaio
administration.


4: He is responsible for a critical and dangerous shortage of
personnel in both in the jails and patrol. 9: Sheriff Joe Arpaio
has deceived, misinformed and outright lied to the public!

5: Hundreds of current sheriff's office employees, represented by a
number of employee organizations, have expressed a vote of no confidence
in Sheriff Arpaio. 10: Arpaio's self-serving and ego-driven actions
have severely damaged relations between the sheriff's office and other
government organizations.





Sheriff Joe Arpaio vs. The Truth
Sheriff Joe Arpaio takes credit for many things where the credit is not
his to take. It is time for some truth about the sheriff.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio: The Sheriff claims he has a .50 caliber machine gun
for use in shooting down terrorist aircraft or explosive laden
tractor-trailer rigs. He also claims the machine gun is the only one
owned by a U.S. law enforcement agency.

Truth: The part about the gun being the only one in U.S. law enforcement
is probably true and for good reason. Other police chiefs and sheriffs
realize that a .50 caliber machine gun is so powerful and so dangerous
that it has no place in civilian police work. As to shooting down
airplanes and destroying trucks loaded with explosives, how would
Sheriff Sheriff Joe Arpaio know which ones to shoot at? It is highly
unlikely that the terrorists would notify authorities when and where
they are going to strike so the gun could be put in place. Also, Sheriff
Sheriff Joe Arpaio stated that, unlike the U.S. Air Force, he needs no
presidential authority before shooting down airplanes.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio: The Norberg wrongful death lawsuit was settled out
of court for $8.25 million. Sheriff Sheriff Joe Arpaio has repeatedly
claimed that this cost the taxpayers nothing since it was paid by an
insurance company.

Truth: At the time of the settlement the county had a $1 million
"deductible" on its coverage. The taxpayers had to pay the first
$1,000,000 on this case and now the deductible has been raised to $5
million.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio: He arrested Elvis Presley.

Truth: Actually, Sheriff Joe Arpaio sometimes claims to have arrested
Elvis and other times he claims to have stopped him for a traffic
violation. No police records nor Presley family records have ever
surfaced to show any contact between Elvis and Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio: He invented the idea of housing prisoners in tents.

Truth: The Arizona Department of Corrections has used tents for decades.
Facilities in other states also used tents before Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio: He claims credit for feeding green bologna (surplus
food) to inmates.

Truth: Jails and prisons here in Arizona and all over the county feed
surplus food to inmates and have done so for many years.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio: He was a Korean War veteran.

Truth: This one is tricky. He was in the Army during the Korean War but
he never set foot there. His overseas assignment was in France.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio: He is the "Toughest Sheriff in America".

Truth: This is a title he gave himself. During his years as sheriff he
has not made even one arrest and, on those rare occasions where he was
present when an arrest was necessary , others had to do it.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio: He is the "Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the
County" and has authority over all police departments and the DPS.

Truth: Another meaningless title. He has no authority over other police
agencies.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio: He broke the famous "French Connection."

Truth: The people really involved in this case never heard of Sheriff
Joe Arpaio.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio: He was involved in "numerous gun battels" and
"weekly shootout" as a DEA agent.

Truth: Virtually no one in the police business believes these claims.
There would be something desperately wrong with any police officer that
gets into weekly shootout.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio: Wants people to think he created the posse program.

Truth: The modern day posse program dates back to the 1930s. These
volunteer groups provide a wide range of important services to the
county including search and rescue, enforcement support, and community
crime prevention. Many of the posse members resent being used by Sheriff
Joe Arpaio for publicity stunts like the "Van Buren Street Prostitution
Patrol."

Sheriff Joe Arpaio: Recidivism in the jails was reduced during his time
as sheriff.

Truth: Sheriff Joe Arpaio spent $10,000 in taxpayer money to have
Arizona State University study recidivism in the jail system. The result
showed that there was no change in the rate at which inmates returned to
jail. Sheriff Joe Arpaio immediately declared that ASU was wrong.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio: Prior to his election he declared that the sheriff
should be an appointed position like that of chiefs of police and that
he would only serve one term.

Truth: Within weeks of his election he "changed his mind" and announced
he would run for another term.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio: On the two occasions where he spent a night in the
tent city jail he claimed that there were no special security
arrangements to protect him.

Truth: The Sheriff's Office Tactical Operations Unit (SWAT TEAM) was
on-duty, on overtime, all night, guarding him from a nearby building.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio: He built the tent city jail because of overcrowding
in the regular jails.

Truth: To insure there were enough inmates for the much publicized tent
city jail he closed an entire floor of the First Avenue Jail.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio: He has saved the taxpayers millions of dollars.

Truth: He has cost the taxpayers millions of dollars in legal fees,
lawsuits, attorneys fees, settlements, judgments, photographs of
himself, videos of himself, and maintaining his personal public
relations staff.

Nice job Fanta. Thanks for the info.

he keeps getting elected though!!

Must be something about him.

Maybe the elections are fixed??

maybe this is why!

Sheriff Joe Arpaio uses the term "Dime Dropper" toward persons
(employees and citizens) that contact the media and provide them with
concerns that happen within the Sheriff's Office. Once Sheriff Joe
suspects that an employee or citizen is a "dime dropper" he goes after
that person with a vengence.

I wouldn't drop a dime, I'd use a 100 Dollar bill

They aren't there because they were late for church last Sunday. Let
them earn their keep. Or would that be considered cruel and unusual
punishment to expect someone to be a productive member of
society?
