What are thoughts on this Sheriff Joe Arpaio scoffs at possibility of broader federal probe?

Sheriff Arpaio does have an unconventional way of running his office. His ideas and way he handles law enforcement, in my opinion, should be commended, not attacked. Why should tax money and grants from a state or federal level go to pay for "extras" at a jail or prison. Incarceration is a punishment, not a 5 star vacation. The money the county and state have saved have been shifted to other programs that are beneficial to the people that live there. Sandra Dowling pleaded down. Indictments handed down on someone have to have justification and a grand jury to see merit in them. Was the raid on her home wrong? No it wasn't. I view the lawsuit as a result of a high position and profile person trying to make up lost income and to make herself look like a victim. Sheriff Arpaio has to be careful though in how much or who he investigates. One wrong thing done in his past or during an investigation can kill a career real fast. One "oops" throws all the "atta-boys" out the window.
