Racist sheriff Joe Arpaio to get Reality TV show on Fox

(Note: Joe Arpaio was the first to reintroduce the female chain gang in the mid-1990s)

Think Fox is bad now? It's about to get a lot worse.

This holiday, Fox is turning self-proclaimed "America's Toughest Sheriff" Joe Arpaio into its newest reality television star. "Smile, You're Under Arrest" will celebrate a grumpy old man with an appalling record of racial profiling and civil rights abuses.

Joe has already racked up 2,700 lawsuits. Now he'll get paid to "bluff and cuff" criminals on national television.

Fox may think this is funny - but we sure don't.

That's why we're calling on the Department of Justice to investigate Joe Arpaio's dangerous, racist antics. Watch our new video exposing Sheriff Joe - then sign our petition to the Department of Justice:

As Sheriff, it's been Joe's job to keep Maricopa County safe from crime. But Joe Arpaio has 40,000 outstanding felony warrants rotting on his desk , and violent crimes have soared under his watch.

Instead of prosecuting felons, Joe spends his time recruiting "posses" to sweep low-crime, Latino neighborhoods. He stops people for "driving while brown."

Well, Joe's immigration crusade is against the law and violates our nation's core values. It unfairly targets law-abiding legal residents and citizens, and hurts communities' willingness to work with law enforcement.

While Fox may find this amusing, we're ready to get Arpaio the attention he really deserves. Tell the Justice Department to do something about this right now.
