Sheriff Joe Arpaio has pulled Shaquille Oneal's special deputy's badge, due to the fact that Shaq used inappropriate language in a video where he "freestyled" a rap about Kobe Bryant in a club.
I think that this is awesome. Mr Arpaio said that if one of his regular deputies had done the same thing, he would fire them, so why should Shaq be treated any differently? Finally, somebody gets it.
I get so tired when groups of people do things that do something inappropriate, and then say "Well, thats how it is where I'm from". It still doesn't make it right. Kudo's to Sheriff Joe for continously holding to his beliefs and standards. I wish more were like him.
If you don't know who Sheriff Joe is, check him out. He is a tough as nails lawman, who specializes in making jail life miserable, so the inmates don't want to come back.
He has a tent jail in the middle of the Arizona desert, removed cable TV, doesn't allow them to smoke, and to save money, feeds them bologna sandwichs. Not only does he save the county money, but his return rate is way lower than similar counties in America. Google him, and be prepared to be impressed.
