I guess I understand the political move from Trump to pardon Joe Arpaio, but the guy is not a hero and regularly abused his power as sheriff.

He...

-staged a fake assassination attempt on himself that ended up costing taxpayers a $1.1 million settlement with the framed, innocent man.

-ran an outdoor jail that he called a "concentration camp," surrounded by an electrical fence with temperatures sometimes reaching over 100 degrees.

-sent a deputy to Hawaii on the taxpayer's dime to investigate Obama's "lost birth certificate."

All of these things are unnecessary to enforce immigration laws and just ended up costing taxpayers more money. Not really a winner in my book.

Ah, the famous Sheriff Joe. Patron saint of vigilante justice... AS LONG AS you're white, wealthy and male.

Oooops... did I just say that?

The downfall of extremism seems to be... that it only represents extremes.

do you have links for the failed assassination attempt, please?

Cheers.
