LOL, you just jave to love some peoples craziness.
Before you defend him, do some homework like this:
Lawsuit: Sheriff Arpaio
Lawsuit: Sheriff Arpaio’s Jail Denied Medicine To Diabetic Inmate, Causing her Death
he family of a woman who died after her custody at Maricopa County Jail is
suing the office of the
infamous Sheriff Joe Arpaio, alleging authorities neglected her and deprived her of necessary medications for days, allowing her to slip into a diabetic coma. The local ABC affiliate reports on the circumstances that led to Deborah Braillard’s death, after she was detained for a minor drug possession charge:
Witness[es] said that Deborah was constantly moaning and crying out in pain, asking for help, repeatedly vomiting, defecating on herself and having seizures.
“She would shake. Her body would stiffen up,” said Tamela Harper, an inmate in the jail with Braillard. “They never did anything to help her.”
Inmates said they begged officers to do something.
“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.
As the trial begins, ABC15 Arizona says a series of reports will “shed light on what experts call a broken system inside Maricopa County jails that has led to needless deaths and tens of millions of taxpayer dollars paid out in lawsuits.” The family’s lawyer, Michael Manning, has won six other lawsuits against the Sheriff’s Office for jail-related deaths, and calls conditions there “deplorable.”
And Arpaio faces several lawsuits alleging racial profiling, including one
on behalf of a class of Latinos, and another by the Department of Justice, which alleges a slate of
grievous practices targeting Latinos, from assaulting pregnant women and ignoring rape, to random, unlawful detention of Latinos and use of racial slurs.

PHOENIX - Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is known by many for his tough stance on illegal immigration, but what you might not know is the number of lawsuits his office has faced and how much it has cost taxpayers.
According to Maricopa County Risk Management records, almost 6,300 claims and lawsuits have been filed against Sheriff Arpaio and his office since he began as sheriff in 1993.
The cost to defend those cases has been more than $50 million.
Part of that $50 million has gone to defend more than 5,000 cases which were closed with no payout to the plaintiff.
But of the total 6,300 case, there have been 1,828 lawsuits against the sheriff's office, according to a national lawsuit database.
---------------------------
There have also been cases (still unsettled) where pregnant prisoners suffered stillbirths because of conditions in his prisons. Therefore, it turns out that the Republican hero is an abortionist who murdered innocent babies.
For those of your Republicans and GOP wannabes who imagine yourselves to be so principled and so faithful to the Constitution, the 8th Amendment forbids cruel and unusual punishment. Killing babies is worse than cruel. But to the pro lifers in the far right that's OK when it suits them.
