Not Pretty In Pink

NOTE: As a conservative, I love this guy. Can you imagine how much lower the crime rate would be if ALL Law Enforcement Officers who housed prisoners did the same kinds of things Sheriff Arpaio did? As a recovering Public Defender, I can tell you that a great number of the criminals in this country would flee to another "safer" country to get away from this kind of humiliation and treatment.

God Bless You, the BSA, America, our Troops and our Second Term President.

Arizona sheriff adds flamboyant handcuffs to his collection -- From the Smoking Gun http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0114052pinkcuffs1.html

JANUARY 14--The Arizona sheriff who makes inmates wear pink boxer shorts and sleep on pink bed sheets has introduced a new item in his girlish inventory: fluorescent pink handcuffs. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's deputies will place the new pink cuffs on inmates during transport. The controversial Arpaio--who never misses a chance to degrade prisoners--claims that he actually ordered 1000 sets of the pink restraints as part of an inventory control plan. Since his department's standard silver handcuffs were frequently getting pinched by Maricopa deputies and other cops, Arpaio reasoned, pink ones would be easier for him to track. Below you'll find a photo of the pink handcuffs, which was provided to us by Arpaio's office. (1 page)
