You know it's sad when the jail inmates have more sense and heart than the jailers

[ck4829]

Inmates said they begged officers to do something. (About a woman who died in...Maricopa County Jail)

“They were telling everyone, ‘There’s nothing we can do about it. This is jail. Get over it,”’ Harper said.

Harper added that officers said Braillard was “kicking drugs” and that she was “getting what she deserved.”

Medical reports would later prove the guards were wrong. (She had diabetes)

If Romney becomes President, Joe Arpaio and his crooked cops will get elevated to the federal level, just remember that...

1. Arpaio, and at least half of his goon squad should be tied to a cactus

in the desert and left there for the coyotes and the ants. What a bunch of disgusting domestic terrorists they are.

[Zalatix]

7. -100 for horrifying abuse of an innocent cactus!!!!!

What if he bled all over it? Or all over the soil? The cactus would be possessed. The whole state would be haunted. Those coyotes and ants could mutate.

Do you have any idea what horrors you're suggesting we unleash?

8. Zombie Arpaios?

2. "Through a spokesperson, Sheriff Joe Arpaio declined to be interviewed for this story."

All of a sudden, the shit-talking asshole is so tongue-tied that he had to get someone else to say "no comment" for him? There's a word I really want to call this waste of chest-hair, but I'm afraid my post would get alerted.

4. Jesus, Joe, sure be a shame if you shared a cell in Maricopa County

with some of those you've shit on.
We're cheering for you Joe. Hope you get your ass handed to you.

3. I seriously want to know why Joe Arpaio, still has any power whatsoever

[fascisthunter]

10. my guess is they want more to hang the fucker

and knew at this time, there just wasn't enough to throw his ass away.

Wishful thinking on my part, but a plausible reason, I think! Regardless, his days are coming to an end... his kind can go with him.

6. That is because our jails are full of non violent pot smokers

Your tax dollars at work, locking up cancer grannies for smoking a joint.

[ck4829]

9. And in Maricopa County, pot smokers AND brown skinned people at the wrong place at the wrong time

11. Why does Sheriff Joe keep getting re-elected?

I never have understood that.

[Initech]

13. There are some really rotten forces at work keeping him in power.

12. I have done my research on this cyst on the ass of humanity...

Look it up. I live in the SoCal desert, & y'all need to read about him. "Gitmo" has better accommodations by the by. Keep in mind the MCSO's (Maricopa County Sheriff Office's) prison facilities are for low level non-violent offenders & a large percentage of the "detainees" haven't been tried & are awaiting trial in a place set up by a corrupt ELECTED motherfu**er. Since his election in I think 1992, he has been an elected bully of the highest order. Please help me fellow DU'ERS & copy & paste here or post the link to his Wikipedia page for everyone to read. Guarantee y'all...brace for a long read...yet he is allowed to walk among society.

There is a bit of good news in this post. The good news is this SOB's current term will thankfully be his last! He will NOT be seeking re-election. At the end of this year 2012, Scumbag Joe will retire. This is great news for the citizens of Mariposa County. For the citizens in this county, the reign of terror will be over!

14. Isn't is illegal to practice medicine without a licence?

Any prison guard diagnosing a prisoner without calling on medical personnel is doing just that.

I think every guard colluding in this negligent homicide should also be charged with illegal practice of medicine.

And the family should go back to the judge and ask if the offense or the sentence was capital. If not additional charges should be tacked on to the guards who failed to do their jobs.

I also want to see where in their job description the guards are told their job is anything other than guarding. I'll bet not a single guard has the word punishment in their job description, yet many seem to view their job as only that.

15. I am a diabetic and hyperglycemia is a pretty horrible way to die.

The blood sugar gets too high. Seizures, vomiting, and then coma. Easily prevented with just a shot of a few units of insulin. Pretty disgusting. I can't imagine begging for help in that condition and no one helping. I have been up to 500 mg/dl and felt horrific. I wonder what she was at....above 1,000 probably. That lands you in the hospital.

16. Willing to bet the infirmary was stocked with insulin too
