5. Tucson is a Democratic City in a Republican State.

They know what's going on.

[Chimichurri]

He's saying so with anger. 'if this vitriol doesn't end, this country will

not be able to find decent people who will serve' I'm paraphrasing.

He's gives me hope that not all of Arizona is crazy.

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

14. yes there is a big difference between Pima and Maricopa counties

[carolinayellowdog]

10. He's speaking with knowledge about the unnamed suspects

sounds like he is VERY certain that Limbaugh/Palin connections are involved

[Hamlette]

11. he's very articulate and professional, I'm sure he's pissing off every republican in the country

notice Palin offered condolences FAST (considering she put the target on Giffords)

This guy is a very sharp guy that Tucson should be happy they have as a sheriff in a state with the messes they've had recently.

16. Here's more on lhis opposition to SB 1070:

Local Sherrif calls SB1070 a “racist law.”

Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik tells KGUN9 News that SB 1070, Arizona’s crackdown on illegal immigration, is a “racist law,” and says he has no intention of complying with it. In doing so, Dupnik becomes the first major local law enforcement official to officially rebel against the bill since Governor Jan Brewer signed it into law on Friday.

Dupnik told KGUN9′s Steve Nunez that the law is “disgusting” and “unnecessary.” Dupnik said his deputies plan to keep on doing what they’ve always done. He said when illegal immigrants wind up in his custody, his deputies will detain them for federal agents, but will not take them to the county jail.

Dupnik said he realizes that, under the terms of SB 1070, he could get sued for failing to comply with the law. But he indicated that’s a risk he’s willing to take. Dupnik insisted that federal law supersedes state law.
