The Petition Demanding the Resignation of Sheriff Joe Arpaio

http://www.change.org/petitions/demand-the-resignation-of-sheriff-joe-arpaio

You may want to sign this because:

  1. A DOJ expert concluded that Arpaio oversaw the worst pattern of racial profiling by a law enforcement agency in U.S. History.
  2. The attorney general was asked to release its findings and take “immediate action to quell the growing human rights crisis in Arizona,”
  3. A former assistant police chief in El Mirage declared that Sheriff Joe Arpaio failed the victims in over 400 cases including child molestations.
  4. Millions of dollars have been taken to pay victims of MCSO and Sheriff Joe.
  5. Allegations of his misuse of $100 million.
  6. Abuse of power against those perceived as his enemy.

With the release of DOJ’s investigation today the petition may not be needed but it will be good to have a count of the citizens of Arizona who would like to see a change.  The petition was created by John Dougherty, a former Phoenix New Times reporter.
