Another joke deal.

Arpaio Launches “Operation Desert Sky”
Posse and Sheriff’s Deputies Converge to Reduce Drugs and Illegal Immigration Through Maricopa County — 30 Posse Pilots/Aircraft Mobilized as Spotters
PHOENIX, AZ – Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio will announce today that he has recently launched a full scale offensive in the valley including the southwest and southeast desert corridors through which large amounts of illegal drugs and human cargo are smuggled into Maricopa County.
Arpaio’s aim: to essentially seal the county border from the growing invasion of drug and human traffickers. Arpaio says he is confident that the operation will result in a number of arrests and seizures but as important, the operation’s aim is to act as a deterrent to keep criminals from entering the county.
Dubbed “OPERATION DESERT SKY,” the undertaking is similar to Arpaio’s crime suppression operations of the past with these exceptions: the duration of the operation will be over several weeks,; it will cover a much broader territory; and it will utilize an extensive array of fixed wing aircraft to spot smugglers as they make their way from Mexico into the county at its southern most borders.
“This will be a far longer and broader strategy by this Sheriff’s Office to deter illegal immigration as well as the flow of narcotics into Maricopa County,” Arpaio says.
Arpaio says the trigger for the operation was the recent arrest of 207 illegal aliens by his deputies in human smuggling investigations. Additionally, in the last 12 months, nearly 36,000 pounds of cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana with a street value of over $25 Million have been seized.
This level of activity is contrary to widely published reports quoting several federal officials who suggest that there is a large reduction in drug and human trafficking at the US-Mexican border.
uuuuh, some of them are going wait to see what Bill Mehr and Jon Stewart have to say before them make up their minds.Nothing like someone doing their job, while others that like to bitch and complain, poke fun.
At least with what he is doing, we have an overview of how bad the illegal crossings are every night.
Government says its way down, but the proof is in the seizures and arrests.
Who ya gonna believe.

OMG.... can you imagine the ensuing lawsuits if that ever happened?here's an idea; close Gitmo and have Sheriff Joe take them in.
I like having my own opinion. I'd seen specials with sheriff Joe and I liked his no-nonsense take on criminals and crime. No moddy-coddling in his jail !!
Arpaio Launches “Operation Desert Sky”
What good are cops, really?
I mean to the average, non-violent citizen just trying to go about his business?
For him, cops are a nuisance – and increasingly, a threat. They don’t protect his property; indeed, they spend their days trying to take it away via enforcement of various and ever-increasing laws ranging from the minor (“speeding” fines) to the major (asset seizure for possessing or imbibing some substance the State has arbitrarily decreed to be “illegal”).
Right. Just doing his job. Like Tie is just posting his own little opinion. bbsam doesn't like getting under MFE's skin. Wk doesn't play every side of every issue. And Moreluck really does look really hard for something to like about Obama. Just doin' his job. No media whorin' about whatsoever. He and Segal, just two red blooded American law men looking to make a difference...in front of the cameras for "reality TV". Yep. Nothin' suspicious with any of that.Nothing like someone doing their job, while others that like to bitch and complain, poke fun.

I don't think anyone was suggesting that having Segal involved was anything other than publicity. IMO it was very tacky at best. Now if Sheriff Joe was in the news every night with a new action hero at his side and carrying a new super weapon, I'm sure the backlash would be massive.
On the other hand, it is the citizens of Maricopa County that keep electing him by great numbers, he is obviously doing something they like.
If Segal is involved with writing a script for a movie, he would want free publicity. I don't know if he is doing that, it was a suggestion. Aslo, I don't know when Sheriff Joe is up for re-election, he may want publicity to show he is looking out for the citizens. Isn't "media whorin'" and publicity about the same thing?Who needs the publicity? And it was danny who suggested Joe was "just doing his job".

Well, I would consider them the same and add campaigning as an example. Not unlike what D. Trump is doing right now and what 0 did for a couple of years before he was elected. 0 didn't go on Oprah to help sell a book.No. But "media whorin'" and campaigning certainly are!
