Updated before he was voted out of office ending his 24 year reign of terror former Sheriff Joe arpaio
Committed serial violations of the constitutional rights of Arizonans, but largely avoided being held personally accountable
courts repeatedly found that arpaio had violated the law
But because he was sued in his official capacity it was Maricopa County on the hook for millions of dollars in Civil damages
It was only after our pile repeatedly and openly defied a court order that he faced a criminal charge for contempt of court
His disobeying and long to a federal court
Resulted in a misdemeanor conviction for which our pile could have been sentenced up to six months in jail
but last Friday president trump pardoned him
before getting to the egregious 'no Sammis demeanor pardon
It's worth briefly surveying arpaio's violations of the constitution and other abuses of power
For example he violated the eighth amendments prohibition of cruel and unusual
Punishment by subjecting pretrial detainees that is people who have not been convicted of a crime and are presumed innocent
To dangerously high temperatures and contaminated food
Arpaio erected an outdoor jail in Phoenix known as tent city that he himself
Referred to as a concentration camp and which remained in use for more than two decades
Numerous prisoners died in his jails and the County paid out millions of dollars in wrongful death damages and settlements
Arpaio also had critics in government and the Media arrested resulting in the County having to make further payouts
There's more
For a fuller picture see the Phoenix new times reporting highlights
the criminal contempt conviction for which trump pardoned arpaio stem from a ruling in one of multiple
cases in which Arpaio was accused of systemic racial profiling
the court found that arpaio's practice of having individuals stopped on the basis of Race violated the fourth Amendment's prohibition of
unreasonable searches and seizures and the Fourteenth Amendments equal protection clause
But arpaio proceeded to misrepresent the ruling to a subordinate and continue the practices the court had enjoined
He then lied about it to the Court withheld evidence
Launched an investigation into the judge and tried to get him disqualified on the basis of the investigation
He had started the court found arpaio in Civil Contempt and referred the case to
prosecutors for criminal charges for Willful violation of the order
But trump claimed in his Arizona campaign Rally last week that arpaio was convicted for doing his job in
Trump's mind the job of law enforcement is to make life miserable for those he deemed undesirable
typically black and brown people and political opponents
Whether or not they have been found guilty of any crime and without regard to whether the punishment is lawful even for those who are
found guilty
this is why trump called for the
Execution of the Central Park five before they had been tried and insisted after they were exonerated by DNa evidence
That they were deserving of punishment anyway
It's why trump has encouraged police officers to rough up suspects during arrests and advocated for torturing detainees
Held at Guantanamo and elsewhere
Trump has demonstrated repeatedly that he rejects the fundamental principles underlying
America's Legal system like the right not to be deprived of one's Liberty unjustly the
presumption of innocence and the right to equal treatment under the law in a comment to the guardian last month, arpaio
Encapsulated the autocratic worldview. He shares with trump, but even if it was a concentration camp. What difference does it make I?
still survived I
Still kept getting re-elected
trump and arpaio believe that winning elections frees them from the constraints of the law
Empowering them to decide who is guilty in to flagrantly and deliberately disregard the courts?
by pardoning someone with arpaio's history of illegally targeting racial minorities
Trump endorsed the use of policing practices to deprive people of color of their rights under the constitution
furthermore by pardoning arpaio for the specific Crime of defying a court
Order trump announced his intention to free his cronies from accountability for law breaking
Raising the possibility that he will discourage his campaign associates from Providing Evidence in the Russia
investigation with a promise of pardons if they are held in contempt of Congress or the courts
that is precisely the opposite of how things are supposed to work in a country that adheres to the rule of law in which the
Rules are supposed to apply to even those with the most power and connections
The u.s. System of checks and balances is designed to constrain the power of elected officials
But trump appears prepared to use his pardon power to make an end run around the judiciary
Gutting its ability to enforce its orders that the constitution be obeyed the pardon power is broad
But if trump is going to use it to obstruct justice
congress needs to stop
