and chickens. In this case with America's biggest douche-bag, steven seagal inside of it. They stormed a guys house with a SWAT team, armored vehicles, and broke through the guy's front wall with Sheriff Joe's tank, because he was suspected of cock fighting. They then killed over 100 chickens in order to protect them.
Their justification for such idiotic over-kill was "we're going to err on the side of caution". Arpaio is fool enough to be willing to do something this stupid just for this has-been-fat-bastard-seagal's lame-ass so called reality show. Unfortunately he's fool enough to do far worse. People like this we allow to have military grade equipment.
I heard boss-hog arpaio wants a drone now.
