The Long, Lawless Ride of Sheriff Joe Arpaio

Locking up the innocent. Arresting his critics. Racial profiling. Meet America’s meanest and most corrupt politician.

What amazes me are the people who defend him. Working for a media company who sells advertising time, I see political ads from all over the country. As it happens, I saw one for him.

It gave me some insight. His background was fighting narcos. And, like many in that field, he has apparently been corrupted and/or somehow sees himself as doing a dirty job no one else has the balls to.

I might believe that last part if he wasn’t diverting resources to the dog and pony show that keeps the snowbirds electing him instead of chasing the warranted criminals he knows are around.
