Perhaps you are not familiar with the embarassing track record of former Sherrif Arpio? The various civil rights lawsuits, and the multiple rulings on violations of constitutional rights. There were also investigations by the FBI. The Department of Homeland Security has also previously revoked Maricopa County jail officer's ability to detain certain inmates due to contiued civil rights violations. There are surely plenty of other upstanding Police Departments and Sherrifs to veiw as respectable role models. Former Sherrif Joe Arpio is certainly not one of them. To follow his actions would lead to embarassing situations for our men and women in blue. I believe Oregonians have much higher standards of behavior.
