Sheriff Joe Arpaio Says He Faces Discrimination [View all]

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio turns 81 next week, and he's taking the time to
recognize a victim of discrimination -- himself.

Never mind the recent federal court ruling that said the Phoenix-area sheriff was unfairly
targeting Latinos in his notorious "crime suppression" sweeps.

Arpaio says he'll increasingly focus on age discrimination as he continues his fifth term as sheriff,
and as he plans for a sixth.

He counts himself among the people looked down upon because of their age.
