Sheriff Joe
Sheriff Joe Arpaio investigated by grand jury, officials confirm
Two Maricopa County executives said Thursday they will appear before a federal grand jury next week to testify about allegations that Sheriff Joe Arpaio and others in his office have abused their power.
County Manager David Smith and Deputy County Manager Sandi Wilson said they met with representatives from the U.S. Attorney’s Office on Wednesday to prepare for the grand jury.
Arpaio denied knowledge of the grand jury. “I’m not commenting about the grand jury or what’s occurring,” he said. “If people are saying it, let them say it. We’re going to continue doing our job.”
At least SOMEONE takes the job of protecting citizens seriously! It’s a shame some people see doing the job they were elected to do as ‘abuse’.
“I’m certainly gratified that the system is starting to work, where this kind of abuse of power is looked into by a competent authority,” Smith said. “A lot of people have suffered; now I think that from the U.S. attorney, with respect to Sheriff Arpaio, justice will be served.”
This man scares the crap out of the weasels. IF, and that’s a HUGE if, the sheriff’s department did do anything illegal, then yes, there should be an investigation. The problem is, Sheriff Joe tends to take his oath of office very seriously, and for the libtard mindset, that’s a big no no. When a department has to make cuts, then watches the county put up some overpriced building, I’d be questioning the motivation too.
Some of the comments left on this article are quite telling.
We need Joe to replace brownie and and the rest of the incompitano fiasco
If only we had more like him willing to step up! I’ve no doubt we’d be a WHOLE lot safer.
Sheriff Joe is a true American hero!
And that is just one of the many reasons the left hate him.
Having lived in Az for 10 years I applaud Sherriff Joe for treating offenders like they should be treated, as criminals. He is also the only Sherriff doing the job that voters elected him to do which is uphold the law. If this means profiling latino’s and making them prove that they are legal residents then so be it. Less illegals = less crime = problem solved.
