Hey, Joe, you fucking piece of dung: Have fun being on trial.

Arpaio's trial starts today. Here's hoping the fuck is found guilty and that he's tormented by it all.


Controversial Ariz. Sheriff's Tactics Go On Trial

The self-proclaimed "Toughest Sheriff in America" is facing one of his toughest tests. A trial begins Thursday morning in Phoenix accusing Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio of violating the civil rights of Latino citizens and legal U.S. residents. The class-action civil suit says the sheriff went over the line in his efforts to crack down on illegal immigration.

For years, Arpaio's deputies have run what he calls "crime-suppression sweeps." One-, two-, or three-day operations in which deputies fan out across neighborhoods in the Phoenix area. Before one sweep in 2008, Arpaio admitted looking for a particular kind of suspect.

"If we come across any illegal aliens during the course of this operation, they'll be arrested and put in jail," he said.

Racial Profiling?

Five U.S. citizens and legal residents are named plaintiffs in the lawsuit. The evidence also includes declarations from people such as Adolfo Maldonado.

My name is Joe also, although I think he was Joe before me. The point is that he makes all Joes look bad. Hope he pays out his ample ass.

The very best bologna sandwiches prepared with lots of mayonaisse and left sitting on a serving tray- in the Aridzona sun - for a couple of hours before Joe's finished having his body cavities searched and he's cleared for lunch.
