Sheriff Joe Arpaio Continues to Defend His Community
Joe Arpaio is the Sheriff in Phoenix, Arizona who has used what some consider "controversial tactics" in upholding the laws and defending the citizens of his community. While out-of-touch liberal demonize him, Sheriff Joe's constituency has continually voted him into authority, and he has gained nation-wide fame for his faithfulness to the duties of his position. Recently, the U.S. Department of Justice has "launched a civil rights investigation into Arpaio's tactics," but the Sheriff in turn has refused to comply with the investigation, calling instead for "an investigation of the investigators."
Arpaio has committed himself to fulfilling the duties he was elected to carry out, and now the feds want to punish him for it. This is the kind of thing that reminds me of the "Third World dictatorship" referenced in this article, and not doing what works to perform your job.
