Phoenix-Area Posse Nets Just 1 Arrest

AVONDALE, Ariz. - Following a week of tough talk, a 250-member sheriff's posse that was assembled to catch illegal immigrants made just one arrest in its first desert search early Thursday.

The posse — made up of Maricopa County sheriff's deputies and trained volunteers — launched night patrols Wednesday in the desert and along major roads southwest of Phoenix.

Deputies attempted to pull over a pickup truck about 12:45 a.m. Thursday, but the truck took off in the desert and its 15 to 20 occupants scattered. Only one person was tracked down, despite night-vision equipment, spotlights and a helicopter.

"It just makes me angry," Sheriff Joe Arpaio said. "People say these are helpless people coming into the United States just to work, and yet when they see law enforcement, they run. If they were trying to obey the law, why are they running?"

Well, asshole. In Mexico, the police are drug cartel bought off death squads! Why should they stop for your Nazi brigade? So they can be put in a tent in 110 degree heat, insulted and abused by you and your officers and given humiliating pink underwear, you sick, sadistic mother fucking Freeper Freak!

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH MARICOPA COUNTY? WHY DO YOU PEOPLE LOVE THIS JACKASS SO MUCH??? WHY DOES MARICOPA COUNTY RE-ELECT THIS ASSHOLE SO MUCH!!!

1. oh, they had fun playing with their night goggles.

2. This wouldn't be happening if there was sane border patrol policies

As it stands, there is no functioning policy. As a result, you get folks like this who try and plug the dike with their fingers, and they probably also do it to score political points and pretend something real is being done about it.

7. Fine...Let's Round Up The Real Felons

Let's frog march every person who employs an illegal and is doing so willingly. Let's get those people...the ranchers, the suits at the meat processing plants, the Wal-Mart managers and corporates and put them in the tent...fine the daylights out of them and then investigate their labor practices. This isn't creating new laws, it's enforcing ones that are on the books. Recently I heard that only a handful of cases have been brought against those hiring the illegals...while a majority reap the benefits of their cheap labor and avoiding of paying federal and state taxes.

We could also investigate the labor practices of American corporations in Mexico as surely the wonders of NAFTA that was supposed to bring a better life to those people doesn't seem to be working too well.

8. Amen to that, but first we need to remove Bush to bust these employers

He's much too soft on corporations. You need somebody who is willing to bust heads, and Bush isn't the man to do it.

9. Dead right. The RW loves the cheap labor.

3. Arpaio is an asshole!

He's cruel and unusual. He'll get his someday.

[panader0]

4. He's one of the reasons that I'm ashamed of my state.

Along with McCain, Kyl, and the rest.

5. Is this the pink underwear sheriff?

[lonestarnot]

18. Yes one in the same schmuck.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

6. I love macho bullshit vigilante justice

I especially like it when it flies up its own sorry ass - in public

[lonestarnot]

10. Bwwwwwwwwwwaaaaa snipe hunt'n! I saw them out there

beat'n bushes. bbbbbbbbbbbbbbwwwa 1 STINK'N ARREST! Was it an abandoned baby?

:rofl: My kid did better than that when I actually took him snipe hunt'n!

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. LOL. What did he do, blow out the tires on their wheelchair?

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahha.

[lonestarnot]

16. bwwwwwwwwaaa good one!

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. Nice work, Joe. One bust with a posse of 250. You really beat the odds

You should be in the next batch of "Medal of Freedom" recipients.

[AlCzervik]

13. he loves media coverage, he seems to have quote a high opinion of

himself, my guess is that he's trying to get a reality show.

[lonestarnot]

17. Yes he nearly had a young man imprisoned long term so he

could get 5 minutes of news coverage for busting him.

[RagingInMiami]

14. If my memory serves correctly

His "posse" consists of senior citizens, men who join because they became bored after retirement. They're the same people who greet you at Walmart.

[lonestarnot]

19. Don't know about them.

[TheCowsCameHome]

21. In this case it's "Wall" Mart............

[TlalocW]

15. Does anyone have statistics

On the recidivism (sp?) rate for Joe's territory? I got into an argument with someone about his methods, and I wondered at that time how effective it was to reducing repeat criminal populations.

TlalocW

[lonestarnot]

20. My guess is absolutely no diff.

[SammyBlue]

23. The recidivism rate in Maricopa County is low. . .HOWEVER. . .

those who have been to his jail go out of Maricopa County and commit new crimes. My best friend was an officer in Coconino County (Flagstaff) and alot of Sheriff Joe's ex inmate ended up in another jurisdiction's jail.

So, his numbers are VERY deceiving.

[lonestarnot]

22. You know, Joe may not have jurisdiction to do this round-up.

INS are the only people who should be doing this aren't they?
