Call me crazy, but I think this headline has an ominous ring:
What could possibly go wrong?
Sheriff Joe is ready, because his "intelligence gathering" tells him the anti-SB1070 protesters planning events in Phoenix this week are up to no good.
"Intelligence gathering leads us to believe that several acts of civil disobedience are planned — here at my office headquarters in the Wells Fargo Bank high-rise in downtown Phoenix, at the jails including Tent City and at Thursday's crime suppression operation which will be conducted by my deputies and posse members."
As always, Joe's officers will use the good judgement we have come to expect from America's Sheriff. When he says they will "meet those challenges head-on," I'm sure he means they will exercise appropriate restraint.
Arpaio said, "Activists and their celebrity sympathizers who wish to target this community and this sheriff by attempting to disrupt our jail and patrol operations will be unsuccessful as we will be fully prepared to meet those challenges head-on with appropriately staffed personnel and resources."
