Maricopa County Sheriffs on camera yelling that they're not bigots

[Union Label]

So, are the ones who yell loudest the biggest bigots and racial profilers? My RW relative sent this to me knowing that I would probably blow my cool, but no I won't, instead I'm hoping to nail that asshole with facts that the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office is FULL of racist assholes, so please DU'ers if you have a story or charges against these fuckers please post it here so I can hit him in the face with it.

If you have the stomach for it there is a video of what he sent me here.http://www.firecoalition.com/article/index.asp?type=announce&id=111 It's looks like some kind of anti immigrant website, and one of the assholes is on film saying "Mayor Gordon, You're ignorant! Shut up", to me it looks like ther're pissed that Mayor Gordon launched an investigation of there beloved head RW racist asshole Sherriff Joe Arpaio.

1. I couldn't listen to more than a minute of it.

Guy sounds like some kind of obnoxious cartoon character from the 80s or something.

And oh, yeah. I'm sure he's full of it, too.

2. Hmmmmm... sounds like a pig that got stuck pretty hard

and starts squealing.

And, ignorant? Why is it that the most racist and uneducated right wingers accuse others of being ignorant? I think it's because they all read the same right wing shit. If someone else that they don't like doesn't read the same right wing shit then they're ignorant. It never even dawns on them to critically think about the right wing shit they read because they don't have the ability to critically analyze their right wing shit so all they're left to say is that everyone else is ignorant.

5. Hmm.

My normal link (BadCopNews.com) is down.

But, a quick comparison between Southern Poverty Law Center's map of hate groups in Arizona (http://www.splcenter.org/intel/map/index.jsp?S=AZ&m=4 ) shows quite a few bunched up there right smack dab in the middle of the state--really close to where Maricopa is (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_counties )

A closer look shows that the cities of Apache Junction, Goodyear, Mesa, Phoenix and Tempe are all in Maricopa, putting 11 of the 19 hate groups listed by SPLC in Arizona as being headquartered in Maricopa County.

6. I wonder

how many of the good officers :sarcasm: are members of those same groups?

[ColbertWatcher]

7. Don't know, but ...

... there sure is a preponderance of hate groups in that county.

There's a reason why they're there and it's not because they don't have enough members.

8. If that's how Sheriff Arpaio lets his subordinates speak to elected officials

It seems like there is all the more need for an investigation.

The guy is running the sheriffs office like it is a little fiefdom. Guess what, Joe? This ain't the middle ages. You're subject to the rule of law like anybody else. Now keep your flunkies on a leash and stop sending them out to disgrace themselves in public.
