I'm not concerned about a fed investigation

[Great-Kazoo]

Now Go Home.
Sheriff Joe's off the hook!!! Not let me see those ID's Hombre'

http://news.yahoo.com/feds-close-criminal-investigation-ariz-sheriff-013856517.html

The federal abuse-of-power investigation into America's self-proclaimed toughest sheriff — Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio — has been closed, with prosecutors saying no charges will be filed.

Sounds like he had some dirt on some high up people!

No, more like the purely political persecution of Sheriff Joe fell apart when it was required to produce some actual evidence.

[roberth]

This is good news but I'm surprised they dropped it.

[BPTactical]

Can we hope and pray that more LE organizations follow Joes lead.

joe sucks.....that is all

[ChunkyMonkey]

How much $$$ Holder wasted on this witchhunt?

Enough to divert attention.

joe ROCKS.....that is all

Fixxed!

Why would one say he sucks when he is upholding the law?
Gee whiz, prisoners that actually have to work, are not coddled, that have to repay their debt to society in meaningful ways other than sleeping, pumping iron and watching tv.
In the country illegally?
Joe is going to rattle your cage.
Break the law?
Joe is going to hold you accountable.
We would not have half the crime and bullshit in this country if we had more LE Chiefs like Joe.

Just another epic failure from a failed administration

[10mm-man]

You guys are missing the other on going investigations. This is just one piece of the pie, you guys are all yelling praises like it's all over....

Stay tuned! [Beer]

he is a bully

stands so tough on illegal immigration and drugs but lets sex offenders go scott free

makes up his own laws

he is the definition of a large overreaching government police state and is probably the number one reason i wouldnt consider moving to AZ

i for one would rather have the LEO my taxes are paying for fight actual crime instead of pulling over every brown person they see because they "might" be illegal.....we dont live in nazi germany we shouldnt have to show papers because some police thinks you might be someone who cant be here.....it wont be too long before we are all mexicans in the eyes of the .gov

No, we will never be all Mexicans in their eyes. If we were we would get free medical care, inflated tax returns, multiple identities, half price college etc.
We will never be that privileged.

Uh, I'm pretty sure the sheriff doesn't pull people over for being brown. I lived in Maricopa County for almost 20 years and never once had a problem with the sheriffs office making up their own laws and never saw anyone get stopped because they were brown. You know how many "brown" people live in AZ? If they stopped every brown person they saw they wouldn't ever get anywhere.

Agreed, but I won't hold my breath. Too many political entities around the nation controlling the actions of LE org's that won't allow this sort of thing. Remember, as per the example of our Federal .gov, only laws that are politically expedient to uphold will be enforced.

If our court systems allowed criminals to be treated like criminals, and convictions occurred when/as they should - followed by PUNISHMENT, not just incarceration (like Sheriff Joe does), I believe fewer people would find the consequences of crime worth the risk.

[bigun1962]

9 years 6 months and 27 days until I can move to Joe's jurisdiction. Think I am looking forward to moving?

[brutal]

joe sucks.....that is all

What sucks about pink prisoner uniforms, bologna sandwiches, and making 25% of the national arrests of illegal immigrants? Not a damn thing.

Go Joe!

[pickenup]

When did this investigation against Joe start?
When did Joe start investigating Obama's birth certificate?

[Ah Pook]

My guess is that the feds would stop their witch hunt if Joe stopped his.

Time to go back to sheriffin', Joe.
