Has Sheriff Joe Arpaio gone too far by demanding raises...?

when our economy is this bad, when there are freezes on pay raises, freezes on hiring, when he's already cost AZ tax payers millions, when his crime sweeps are unclear, and when his 287(g) program enforcement was reported to FAIL?

Since a very long time he has gone too far, but a bunch of people here love what he is doing. Maybe next he will begin to make war to the native americans, like it happened in the XIX century.

Those were called heroes. The more natives they exterminated, the better

Hes doing great and all cops deserve a raise

If only federal law enforcement was as effective as Joe.

You make a lot of assertions and you don't show us where they are... who made them.

One thing is very clear. Joe Arpaio has done a very good job of stopping a lot of the crime in Phoenix. Where you could not go to that City without a pistol on the seat when you passed the illegal aliens on the street, you can go, park your car, and come back and find it. All of that, and you don't need a gun.

Thank you Joe Arpaio.

AZ Central, by the way, is a stout supporter of Janet Napolitano and not matter what happens out there, they will condemn Sheriff Joe. You actually need to check the azcentral stories for bold face lying.

None of your sources are legit. Might as well throw up The Onion while you`re at it. I can find articles showing the very opposite. Arpaio`s prison costs a quarter of the amount that any other prison in the state,...even the region costs. How is that a bad thing?

no, they should give him a raise. after all he is the authority. i wish we had more like him. i want him in my town

Arpaio is praised by ICE for his program use. He's doing a job no one else in the US will do. If you want to keep good people you have to be willing to pay for them. His dept. is worth every cent.
Unless you live in the state or AZ or Maricopa Co. it shouldn't matter to you what he does or how much he is paid. Since you do not contribute through taxes to his department or fall under his jurisdiction.

while you are desperately trying to find fault and put blame on Arpaio, why don't you look at how much the illegal aliens have cost the WHOLE NATION in terms of money and social costs??
$41 million? even if it all went down the toilet for nothing(and it didn't) it could not even remotely compare to the kind of monetary and social abuses caused by the illegal invasion(billions a year just for the free ride for medical care and education)

Ya heard me

He is great. He can do the job he is suppose to do and ignore all the negativity from illegals. They act like they are so mistreated, they could always just not come here.

bongoman

how could you say that he is doing great, he's one of the worst, and it shows
