Sheriff Joe Arpaio, three others found in civil contempt

[spanone]

(CNN)One of America's most famous sheriffs is in real trouble with the law.

Federal Judge G. Murray Snow ruled Friday that Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Joe Arpaio was in civil contempt in connection with a racial profiling case.

Three of Arpaio's subordinates also violated court orders, the judge said.

"The court finds that the defendants have engaged in multiple acts of misconduct, dishonesty, and bad faith with respect to the plaintiff class (Latinos) and the protection of its rights," Snow wrote. "They have demonstrated a persistent disregard for the orders of this court, as well as an intention to violate and manipulate the laws and policies regulating their conduct as they pertain to their obligations to be fair, 'equitable(,) and impartial' with respect to the interests of the plaintiff class."

1. Hope the judge makes it criminal.

This is one man that should be in his own jail.

4. Fuck "civil contempt"

If they aren't willing to throw Sheriff Joe in prison - not his own pink-panty county jail, but (preferably) a federal penitentiary a couple thousand miles away from Arizona, I don't want to hear about his civil contempt charges.

5. Whereupon Sheriff Joe simply shrugged and went on being an asshole, and that

was the end of the story.
