Joe Arpaio is called the 'America's toughest Sheriff', but Maricopa County is not so tough if you are white, booked on suspicion of 8 felonies, caught with stolen items in the home of your grandmother who is trying to kick you out, along with body armor, guns and drug paraphernalia. The Maricopa County Attorney's office, headed by a Republican, released the suspect with no charges being filed, just weeks before two grisly murders, because of the need to 'develop evidence' (like, maybe Grandma stole the motorcycle, owned the drugs, guns and body armor?) If the 8 felony suspect was Latino, would he have been set free so easily?
The individual involved was later arrested with four others, for the crimes of robbing and killing a wealthy Paradise Valley Arizona couple whose burned bodies were found bound in their destroyed house. The Jaguar automobile of the couple was found burned at another location.
Comments
Another thought, if the 5 murder suspects included undocumented Hispanics instead of being 100% white, would Gov. Jan Brewer be wagging her finger, and would she and Joe be beating the drums of racism and hate on the national media, blaming Obama and the feds for 'not protecting us and securing our border'?
There has not been a ripple of complaint for the handling of the case by any Republican politicians. Meanwhile...YES... Sheriff Joe's MCSO was reported to have arrested 2 maids with false ID's!! GO JOE!
