In Trump’s America, Sheriff Joe Arpaio Can Do No Wrong

This is the man Donald Trump pardoned:

Arpaio faced up to six months in prison and was due to be sentenced in October. During his 23 years as Maricopa County sheriff, Arpaio was a lightening rod, in part because of his aggressive crackdown on illegal immigrants. He also was accused of racial profiling, failure to investigate sex crimes, poor treatment of prisoners and other instances of police misconduct. (Washington Post)

Not only was Sheriff Joe Arpaio violating federal law via racial profiling & mistreatment of prisoners, he did not bother to enforce the current law against pedophiles (among other sex crimes).

Lengthier thoughts below but this pardon is an abortion of justice at best.
