First of all, I would like to wish all of you readers out there a pleasant FYF! To those of you on the east coast, have fun with Earl!
Recently I've been watching a certain Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona pop up on the news, and even moreso in the last day or so. Who the hell is Sheriff Joe Arpaio? Why is the US Department of Justice suing him? This is clearly what I get for not watching television or listening to the radio.
Who knows, but after researching it, I can't help but be reminded of Joe the Plumber. News articles and blog posts seem to be making him out to be your average Joe the Plumber type, except in this incarnation he is a sheriff. But he's not. Joe the Sheriff is being sued, because of an investigation into racial discrimination on his and his department's part. The USDOJ wants his documents, that they think will prove that he used racial profiling in what are believed to be in descriptions of some sort of illegal immigrant sweep through his corner of Arizona.
Well, so I looked around the internet a bit, I wanted to find out something about him that comes from BEFORE all this recent stuff about him. Basically, I suspected him of being some sort of nazi fascist.
Yup, he's a nazi fascist. What I found out was extraordinarily easy to find and well known to seasoned Joe the Sheriff haters. And also completely missing from any news story I read on this matter. QUITE SIMPLY, here is some evidence submitted to you that Joe the Sheriff is, in fact, a Nazi.
In a protest against his extreme anti-immigration policies, he shows up to support the counter protestors, who know him. They are all neo-nazis. Skip to 4:48:
And here is a photo of Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and a neo-nazi:
The Maricopa County Sheriff's office webpage is a Joe the Sheriff narcissism trip. But it's worth taking a look at, it's pretty amusing/horrifying. Make absolutely sure to check out the 8 Signs of Terrorism section. It's a winner in weird post 9/11 governmental dystopia.
I'm looking forward to watching how this turns out.
You know, I like this practice of mounting cameras on tasers. That's a pretty good idea, especially considering rampant, abusive tasering going on by cops all over the country.
Here is an example. This Marin County, California man tripped down some stairs on the way into his house. His wife called paramedics, who were nearby and came over to help. While in pain he exclaimed something to the effect that he would shoot himself because of the paid, a hyberbolic statement let out after some slight but painful injury.
As the paramedics were leaving, some cops busted their way into the house, to fulfill whatever coply duty they had in hyperbolic circumstances. A joke about killing oneself, these days, apparently requires a mandatory trip to the hospital, enforceable by electroshock weapons.
Of course, the 64 year old wasn't about to go to the hospital, he told the officers to leave, got up to go to bed, and was tasered THREE times. THREE. Watch the video below:
It's like cops aren't even being trained in how to properly use a taser. With 334 deaths related to taser use (improper and proper) between 2001 and 2008 in the United States alone, I think a much closer look at police taser practices is in order. It can not just be a tool to use any time anyone is disobeying a police officer, it should be last resort, the same way a gun should be last resort. Gun use is to taser use is the same as murder is to torture. Neither are or should be particularly acceptable.
