Who was this sheriff Trump pardoned who everyone is talking about? For those who haven't been following his career, here is a summary from the Phoenix New Times (the local paper which has been covering him for years) Their Twitter feed has links to document each statement:
-He ran a jail that he described as a "concentration camp."
-Prisoners there died at an alarming rate, often without explanation.
-One of his jailers nearly broke the neck of a paraplegic guy who had the temerity to ask for a catheter.
-One time, as a publicity stunt, he marched Latino prisoners into a segregated area with electric fencing.
-He arrested New Times reporters for covering him. We won a $3.75 million settlement for that one.
-Under him, the MCSO failed to investigate hundreds of sex abuse cases, many of which involved children.
-But he somehow found time and money to send a deputy to Hawaii to look for Barack Obama's birth certificate.
-Oh, and one time he staged an assassination attempt against himself? That was weird. (And cost taxpayers $1.1 million.)
-In 2013, a federal judge confirmed what literally everyone in Phoenix knew: he'd been racially profiling Latinos.
-So naturally, he hired a PI to investigate the judge and his wife.
-He also kept on profiling people, which is why he got charged with contempt of court (and was found to be guilty AF)
-He also tried to destroy some of the hard drives containing material that was supposed to be turned over the court.
-By 2015, his fondness for racial profiling had cost the county more $44 million. On top of, you know, ruining lives.
-He also paid millions to settle lawsuits like this one, where deputies stood by as an inmate was brutally beaten.
-Because this is the Old West or something, he had a "Sheriff's Posse." One member got arrested on child porn charges.
-His office was responsible for countless fiascos like this botched SWAT raid, where deputies set a puppy on fire.
The world needs to understand that THIS is who Trump pardoned....as his ONE AND ONLY pardon. Please copy and post.
