Arizona Sheriff Will Send Armed Guards to Black Churches Tomorrow Whether They Want Them or Not

June 20, 2015 by Hemant Mehta 40 Comments

Tomorrow morning, when black congregations will once again gather for what will surely be emotional church services, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio (who has a racist past of his own) has announced how he plans to protect those churches in his part of Arizona.

He’s going to “send armed volunteer posse members” to those churches.

He said the Rev. Jarrett Maupin, who describes himself as a Progressive Baptist preacher and civil-rights campaigner on his Facebook page, asked him to provide the protection because he was worried about problems with white supremacists in the area.

“I am the elected sheriff of this county. He asked me to help, and I’m going to help,” Arpaio said Friday.

I don’t mind that he’s helping out a church that requested it, but what about the rest of them?

In the Phoenix area, indications are that not all of the churches involved want posse members patrolling near their pulpits. When told of one pastor’s concerns, Arpaio said at a press conference, “But I’ll tell you, he’s going to get them whether he likes them or not.”

8. Am I to assume they're going to bury Sheriff Dickhead in an unmarked grave when the time comes?

I swear...listen folks, when Sheriff Dickhead dies I think I'll start a Kickstarter campaign to build a restroom trailer we can park over his grave, so twelve people at once can piss on his grave without getting arrested for orderly conduct, public decency or exercising your right to free speech by taking a giant leak on Joe Arpaio's corpse.
