There are no good aspects here, this pardon is dispicable and undermines the rule of law and is directly an expression of racism from the POTUS. Arpaio was an awful sheriff, a bigot who abused his power and put innocent people on chain gangs in the AZ heat and made innocent people sleep in tents in the AZ heat and abused them in many many ways. He was my sheriff for many years, he defied court orders to stop violating people's 4th amendment rights because he was running around demanding hispanics prove their citizenship in place that is largely hispanic, in other words abusing actual natural born citizens due to his racist profiling, he belongs in jail. This isn't a country where it's OK for the Gestapo to demand we show our papers because we look like a Jew.
This fucktard of a president just endorsed this behavior, which means we're now going to see more of this. This is more flame on the fire of the clearly upcoming race war.
