The latest example is a report released this month that sums up, in devastating detail, the cost of Sheriff Arpaio’s reign. It was issued not by the sheriff’s usual critics — whom he routinely dismisses as a band of bleeding-hearts — but by the Goldwater Institute, a think tank dedicated to the principles of the late Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater, an obelisk of conservatism.

Read a summary here, or the full pdf.

Here’s the gist.

What has risen on Sheriff Arpaio’s watch: violent crimes (up 69 percent overall from 2004 to 2007, with homicides up 166 percent in those three years), 911 response times, unserved arrest warrants, racist sweeps of Latino neighborhoods, and dollars paid out in budget overruns, overtime and lawsuit settlements.

What has declined: the arrest rate, the number of satellite booking stations, public access to department records, Sheriff Arpaio’s reputation.

The Goldwater report must bring some comfort to the residents of Maricopa County who have spent years raising the alarm about Sheriff Arpaio, with little effect outside Arizona.

When you have the Goldwater on your case, you know you're ********.

so............does anyone have any legitimate proof or is this just baseless conjecture?

seems to me, he has enough enemies already, to where if he was doing anything illegal, the feds and IA and god knows who else would have not only stepped in by now, but countless media organizations would have been on his nuts
Do you know how hard it is to make a sheriff step down from his position? Not only can he cover up basically all charges against him, but he also has no (almost no) over site, and no one to answer to.

And, countless Media is on his nuts.

and the proof? He has 15,000 abuse cases against him.
.........so the answer is no

and of course he has 15,000 abuse cases against him, because our legal system is "kind" enough to provide lawyers to criminals they abuse it themselves and waste tax payer money with appeals and abuse cases just because they can (and they think it will help them get off)

im guessing the vast majority of those "abuse" cases are like "man, that guy took my headphones away....and uhh oh ya they beat me up and made me put on a dress"

sure

as far as sheriffs go, hes alot better than the corrupt bastards in say, ohh i dont know, most major cities (like new orleans)

even my own area (atlanta) has had its problems, there was a new sheriff elected official, gonna come in and clean everything up, gunned down on his driveway on christmas eve? ******** up

see why i dont give a rats a** now?
How can you not think this guy is corrupt?
because there is no real evidence supporting these claims

corrupt in my book is breaking the law and using your position for your own personal gain

he just seems to have certain ideas about how prisoners should be treated, and im fine with alot of them to be honest. but all that aside, yall problem isnt with him being corrupt (so dont call him that) your problem is that hes a hard a** and you dont like his political stance or methods

alot of people do im sure (thats why hes sheriff)

so with no damning evidence, and if there was some im sure someone in the bigger government would have had him removed by now, he is just a sheriff who yall dont like. he aint a corrupt and blood thirsty SOB, yall just nit pick articles and blogs that villainize him, but are lacking in substance
He has a reality TV show, THATS PERSONAL GAINS. He's breaking the law by abusing his inmates, he's been convicted of this. He is a criminal.

So he is a criminal using his position for personal gains. Thats the definition of corruption in your books.
the tv show thing is retarded, hes not corrupt. there is nothing illegal about having a tv show, as soon as he does illegal s**t (with valid proof, not just hear-say) then ill agree with yall

until then, sorry

Oh sure, avoid the issue. Brush it off onto the court and avoid that you're overlooking the fact that this Arpaio shithead is breaking the Eighth Amendment. How ******** sad that someone who has only lived in the US for four years is lecturing a citizen on the ******** law of the USA.

Cruel and Unusual is getting beaten and left for dead when all you did was get caught for shoplifting or smoking a joint.

i can have my own opinion about people

just because someone likes guns doesnt mean they are right or left wing. im not sure exactly what their position is on every little thing, like most folks im assuming its a bit of both. but as far as this issue is concerned.....well, i think its warrantless.. just because you think a certain sheriff is a media attention douche doesnt mean hes corrupt or like some folks offered earlier, needs to be killed

i mean, i hate pelosi, i dont think shes corrupt, i think shes just a dumb b***h with terrible points of view which are dangerous to this country

as far as breaking the law is concerned.......nothing

I'd say the number of Wrongful Death Lawsuits speak for themselves. But as you seem to not care when some "Law Enforcement" shithead violates the Rights you share with others, why should I waste my time on a hypocrite like you? You won't give a ******** until they arrest you and beat you in the kidneys so you piss blood for the rest of your life. Then you'll be screaming about the Eighth Amendment and Due Process and all the Rights you currently say you don't give a s**t about.

My point is that Arpaio has broken the Eighth Amendment and that you're a ******** hypocrite that doesn't deserve the Rights and Freedoms he has.
