The forum exposed the degree to which Sheriff Arpaio and MCSO used their power and authority to intimidate and harass political opponents as well as self promote the public image of Sheriff Arpaio. From uncoordinated and unwanted raids in Mesa and Guadalupe, to illegally and unjustly arresting a police officer to score political points with animal lovers, to interfering in the lives of Maricopa County workers and the Board of Supervisors - Sheriff Arpaio has ushered in an era of unprecedented abuse and corruption. Attendees heard first hand accounts of Sheriff Arpaio and MCSO's abuse of power.
