Does he hate the cannibal elite? My understanding is his department couldn't be bothered to investigate sex crimes in Maricopa County -- even when children were involved:
No, this is not correct. What the hell was the problem? I'm trying to remember, but it doesn't surprise me that he was slurred by false reporting.
Oh, it had to do with human trafficking! Yes, from what I remember Arpaio was very aware of human trafficking and, unfortunately, many of these sex crimes were associated with human trafficking. When he went to follow up on the reports, some women wouldn't cooperate, but most couldn't be found. The handler whisked them and the children into the night and there went the case. I tried to find the article I read, but Google has it buried ... somewhere ... but I see where you're getting this now.
Ok, thank you! If you can find anything to corroborate, that'd be really helpful. Because, as you can see, all the usual suspects -- from the NYT to the Guardian -- are smearing him.
I will pass it along. I happened to run across it and I was like, is that what happened! Made so much sense with the amount of human trafficking and illegal immigration in that state.

Remember that Arizona is Ed Buck's state. He came to prominence by getting involved in a recall election and has had a hand in politics ever since.

Why? Do you suspect Arpaio? I would think he'd be trying to clean things up given his hatred for the Cannibal Elite.
