I am in agreement with you lunarscope - I stand, firmly, right behind the Alexander family despite my own personal opinion.
As far as Sheriff Joe is concerned, I have stated that there is no love lost for me regarding him.
He does what is in the best interests of Sheriff Joe but hides this in the name of justice and being tough on inmates.
That is what has had him elected over and over again.
He believes his own press.
If Sheriff Joe will do it, then the citizens of Phoenix and the State of Arizona do not have to lose precious sleep.
BUT - he is a criminal in his own right.
He was found guilty of racial profiling.
He is a disgrace to his profession that is supposed to uphold the law, not use it for personal gain. More arrests make him look good in the eyes of the public.
I cannot get over that this has been ignored and that he was not dismissed from his position. This is a direct violation of civil rights, something that should never be ignored.
By not demanding sanctions be put on him somehow, silence says his methods are supported. This is very scary for me.
Please notice that after his guilty verdict, all interviews with Arias stopped. He came out saying that she is a prisoner just like all the others and will not get preferential treatment. One doesn't hear much from Sheriff Joe and his interaction with Arias any more.
Had he not been found guilty, rest assured that Arias would have continued with her exclusive privileges. By giving them to her, it would keep Sheriff Joe in the limelight, something his narcissistic personality craves.
