What the Arpaio pardon means for civil rights - High Country News - 3 views

  •  
    This article goes over the recent pardon of Arpaio and how it risks future racial profiling and violation of rights for citizens. Arpaio demonstrated harsh practices like keeping inmates outside in scorching summers, and working in chain gangs. He has already been in contempt of court for racial profiling and violating citizens' Fourth Amendment rights.

    I'm not sure this Arpaio pardon will encourage others to racial profile for immigration purposes. Arpaio was the lead candidate for this kind of behavior and I'm not sure others are rushing to follow his footsteps .

    The issue in this article is definitely controversial, especially here in Arizona. I suppose the issue should be over; he was pardoned. As the article stated, nothing more can be done. People should not waste their energy over something they cannot change and simply move forward.

    This will only turn us backwards as a state,as a country. My mom was stopped on numerous occasions driving because the color of her skin,so I feel very strongly that him being pardoned won't be for the good or benefit of people just trying to live their daily lives.

    If Arpaio does follow through with running for office I can't imagine it being much different than his last period in office. Trump pardoned Arpaio for his mistakes. Arpaio might not have learned his lesson and may just repeat what he just did.

    This article can be taken many different ways. Arpio being pardoned is not something that is for the better of this state and as a country. Everyone needs to be held accountable for their actions, and when people are being let off so easily just as Arpio is, it is not fair for the rest of us.

    As the article stated, not much can be done now that Joe Arpaio has been pardoned. I do believe, however, that this dismissal ought to unify Arizona residents in the fight against racial profiling. Whether a victim of Arpaio's practices or not, he committed an unethical crime and is not only being "forgiven," but given the opportunity for a fresh start which does not follow the American justice system.

Joe Arpaio has been pardoned. But will a judge dismiss the verdict against him? - The W... - 0 views

  •  
    This article discusses the recent pardoning of former Maricopa county sheriff, Joe Arpaio, and the backlash it has ensued among those against Arpaio and even Republicans. It elaborated that the case could not simply be dropped, therefore Donald Trump found it appropriate to pardon the sheriff. The controversy behind this pardon stems from the fact that political pardons are generally to forgive people for their crimes, not completely obliterate them, which seems to be the case with Arpaio.

    The jail conditions are really poor in Maricopa county. Some would argue that the conditions are unconstitutional. Rap by fellow prisoners or staff, beaten by guards, driven insane by long-term solitary confinement, or killed off by medical neglect. I understand that criminals shouldn't live in luxury but the conditions that Joe Arpio has the prisoners is not right.

Racist Arizona Law - 4 views

  •  
    The state that brought you the chain-gang enforcing Sheriff Joseph Arpaio, the "show me your papers" immigration law, and racial profiling is proud to present its latest hit: a law prohibiting sex and raced-based abortion, based on lies and stereotypes about black and Asian women. The woman and doctor must also sign an affidavit stating the reason the woman wants an abortion has nothing to do with the race or sex of the embryo or fetus.
  •  
    Wow, I honestly had no idea this was going on. The law prohibits abortions based on the sex or race of the fetus or embryo, This is an extreme injustice! I can't believe we still face this kind of inequality.
