[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 723637, member: 9789"] Let me preface this.... I don't have any compassion for suspected criminals OR convicted criminals, but I also don't disagree with your take except for Sheriff Joe's desire for publicity. He does not give two hoots about publicity except the kind of publicity that scares the hell out of the criminal. The only publicity he wants, is to see the criminals fleeing Maricopa County. His no nonsense approach to crime suppression and incarceration has generated this reputation and created the publicity good and bad. He continues to get re-elected by wide margins though they are getting smaller now. Look at this guy - He does not care what he says - how he says it or how he looks when he says it. He is being dragged to the mic by both sides. He would rather not be sitting in front of a mic and be out with his Crime Suppression Unit making busts. He is my hero! If we had more cops like him we could all walk out at night without any fear for our safety. I am betting that most of us can't say that right now. In Arizona, we see him just about daily on the news. He has done a lot of good for the county on cost control. He has done good things for the inmates at his jails also. He is tough on the inmates too but he treats everyone the same. His goal is too make sure these inmates don't want to come back to his jail system. But I also have not heard a lot of negative talk about him from the inmates (who get interviews) either. [/QUOTE]
