| 2006-07-23 |
| Toronto Police arrested a Canadian man over the weekend who threatened to kill Maricopa County (AZ) Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his family, according to authorities. Officials from the sheriff's office said 37-year-old Matthew Carl Sanderson used the Internet to communicate the threats against Arpaio, writing that he would murder the sheriff in dramatic fashion by shooting him, poisoning him, blowing up his car or burning him alive... ...If convicted, officials said Sanderson will be the 12th person found guilty of threatening ArapioÂ’s life in the past several years... |

| #4 " by shooting him, poisoning him, blowing up his car or burning him alive..." Rather flee off a cliff python fans, though its what you wanted. |

| #3 I'm with you, OS. Tough law enforcement is good, but there's a line and you can't cross it. We've got a big expose going on in Chicago right now: seems like some of our white police officers engaged in a little torture of black suspects in the 1970s. Perhaps the suspects were gang-bangers and punks, but you can't use the #7 pliers here in America. |

| #2 In some ways he is good to have around, but his tactics have become more and more SS-like as of late, using far too much force when its not called for. Just because you have M-16s. body armor, etc, gives you no cause to smash into peopels houses at 3 AM to serve warrants for an illegal poker game (shooting the dog and handcuffing the children and other family members out in the yard in the process). Sherrif Joe needs to drop the Nazi act for enforcement, but keep the "Jail isnt suppsoed to be comfortable" angle - after all, they are in jail usually because they have been convicted. Others are becoming more concerned about this sort of behavior. I dont advocate threatening a law enforcement official - not a healthy thing to do. But exposing them? Sure, as long as you dont put life or public safety at risk. |
