Related: About this forumJane Sanders' remarks about Arpaio
What I saw and heard firsthand today by visiting with the families and seeing tent city was very disturbing, Sanders said. Sheriff Arpaio did not even attempt to explain or excuse his inhumane treatment of people of color not that he could. That kind of attitude toward our fellow human beings is completely unacceptable, especially in elected officials and those who would seek public office.
Sounds about right......

(3,937 posts)It side tracks us, gives credence and audience to the bogus charge and puts us on defense -- all of that favors HRC so they will keep doing it until we stop playing their game.
Bernie's game -- fill the discussion with proposals, issues and solutions

It's absurd that some people believe (or pretend to believe) Jane Sanders visiting Arpaio's jail shows lack of concern for jail conditions.

She's not saying that there are no white in Arpaio's jail.

U.S. Finds Pervasive Bias Against Latinos by Arizona Sheriff
PHOENIX In a strongly worded critique of the countrys best-known sheriff, the Justice Department on Thursday accused Sheriff Joe Arpaio of engaging in unconstitutional policing by unfairly targeting Latinos for detention and arrest and retaliating against those who complain.
After an investigation that lasted more than three years, the civil rights division of the Justice Department said in a 22-page report that the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office, which Mr. Arpaio leads, had a pervasive culture of discriminatory bias against Latinos that reaches the highest levels of the agency. The department interfered with the inquiry, the government said, prompting a lawsuit that eventually led Sheriff Arpaio and his deputies to cooperate.
