jail gang chains
Everything I did in the jails - chain gangs, everything - I haven't changed the policy. I did it, I stand by it, and I'm not going to change.
running president not-interested
I'm not interested in Vice President. I'm hanging around Arizona. I'm running again for Sheriff.
government federal-government bows
I don't bow down to the federal government.
couple beer law
I can get along great with the Hispanics. In fact, I sure would like to meet them, even the politicians, maybe in the back room or whatever, have a couple of beers and try to explain. But they need to understand that I enforce the laws. I want to listen to them and hear their problems. I want them to tell me what their problems are.
responsibility government surrender
I am the constitutionally and legitimately elected sheriff, and I absolutely refuse to surrender my responsibility to the federal government.
way aggressive
Not that I ever did anything wrong. I was just aggressive. That's the way I am in my life.
thank-you hate people
I get a lot of calls from families and people who have served time and they say, 'Thank you, Sheriff. I hate the tents.' That's music to my ears.
problem deficiency ifs
We learn by our problems. We correct our deficiencies if there are any.
white black matter
It doesn't matter whether you're black, Hispanic, white. They're all in the same boat.
opportunity law guy
I'm an equal-opportunity law-enforcement guy - I lock everybody up.
use mail
I don't use e-mail or u-mail or whatever it's called.
fighting cells iraq
You go to London, you see a TV set in every cell and the sign up that all the officers must treat prisoners with dignity. What about your dedicated soldiers that have helped fight in Afghanistan and Iraq? They're living in tents and our soldiers are living in tents. So it's OK for soldiers to live in tents, in hot tents, but it's wrong for inmates?
used vehicle walking
I even used to stop vehicles going through stop signs, even though I was walking.
guy computer knows
I'm not a computer guy. I have my Smith Corona. I would know nothing about computers.
