That'd be a show I watch. Police procedural where it opens with some horrific murder or rape, then the detective is assigned to handle petty larceny cases. At the end, they determine it's got to be that illegal driving downtown, and pull a Hispanic guy - who speaks perfect English - out of his car and throw him jail. Case closed.

Arpaio denied immunity in arrest of New Times owners.

It's not a conviction -- and Thomas, unfortunately, HAS been granted immunity (pending appeal), but at least he's been neutralized -- but it's one more step.  Expect "Village Voice sues Arpaio" headlines soon.

Feds won't charge Arpaio.

Hey Holder?  Fuck you.

So Thad, how are you feeling about justice right now?

Mainly I'm wondering what the fuck kind of idiot I must be to keep thinking she's going to let me kick that football this time.

It's not too close to the election to switch to Independent, is it?

Unless there was some August deadline I'm unaware of, I think it's fair to assume they picked the Friday before Labor Day on purpose.  Story flies under the radar; the Democrats get to keep patting themselves on the back for how much they're doing for Hispanics.

There's still the civil suit, Melendres v Arpaio.  Ultimately I think that's probably going to accomplish much the same things that a criminal case would have, in forcing independent oversight.  From that perspective I can see how somebody would have thought charges would be redundant, but -- again, unless there was some August deadline I never heard about -- I can't see why they didn't wait until after the verdict came out in the civil case.  Unless it really is because Obama's worried about winning over Arpaio supporters.

No fucking idea.

Don't worry, Thad, your state will never be as insane as Florida.

Dear Princess Celestia,

Today I learned something positive about friendship and about vulnerability. Above all, I learned not to wear short skirts because drunken men in positions of authority will shove their fingers into your genitals. I also learned to stay the fuck out of Arizona. Seriously, fuck that hellish death hole and the sun-fried assholes who live there.

If you get all your information about MLP from the internet you might understand why she would have to write such a letter.

A FEMALE judge, which makes the whole thing even crazier.

The ability of privilege groups to internalize biases that work against their own interests is perhaps the most disturbing and most ubiquitous phenomenon abetting institutionalized discrimination.

EDIT:
In short, it's depressing, but I feel like I shouldn't be as surprised by it as I am.
Though I get the feeling that as part of the conservative backlash against civil liberties, people who don't at least pay lip service to the status-quo tend not to get judge's seats.

... I like how Thad didn't even say anything about me calling Arizona a hellish death-hole inhabited by sun-fried assholes. Like, I know he made this thread, but still, not even a limp-wristed "it's not THAT bad."

...actually, since you mention it, this happened in Flagstaff and Flagstaff is amazing.

But you can still get pretty sun-fried there.  It's 20-30 degrees cooler than here but it's also about a mile and a half higher up.

Some of the best vacations of my life have been in high desert.
That said, they were vacations. I didn't have to live with the fucked up politics of the region.
