Sheriff Clarence Dupnik Attacks Rush Limbaugh
“The kind of rhetoric that flows from people like Rush Limbaugh, in my judgment, he’s irresponsible; uses partial information, sometimes wrong information. Attacks people, angers them against government, angers them against elected officials and that kind of behavior, in my opinion, is without consequence and I think he’s irresponsible,” Sheriff Dupnik told ABC News.

SAWYER: “Is it right to link him with this horrible incident?…That it is somehow linked?”

Sheriff Knew About Loughner’s Actions & Previous Threats – Failed to Act
James Taranto, the editor of the OpinionJournal.com and author of its popular Best of the Web Today column at The Wall Street Journal. Tonight Taranto questioned Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik’s culpability in the Arizona supermarket slaughter.
“I’d like to make one additional point on Sheriff Dupnik. I think we’re missing the point when we’re talking about his political agenda. This man and this suspect has had previous contact with the sheriff’s office. It looks to me, we don’t have many details on this, but it looks as though he slipped between the cracks. I think what we really need to look into is what happened when he had previous contact with the sheriff’s office with their negligence here. And, I think the sheriff is trying to distract from that question.”

Wild Thing’s comment……..
This Sheriff is a real sickdo. He is creating his own personal WAR with many of the population of our country.
He is as nuts as the shooter only in a different way.
I’ve e-mailed Jan Brewer, Governor of Arizona and asked she demand his immediate resignation. Not only is he senile, but he is anti-American.
I also wondered why there was no security at this event. Almost always a political gathering has some sort of security whether an on duty or off duty police officer. It also seems that the good sheriff may be preping for publicity of the fact that his office had numerous dealings with the shooter before. Interesting news may be forthcoming.
I’ll bet it that were Sarah Palin, he’d be saying “oh well, we can’t get every whacko.”
Lets hope the Sheriff never gets reelected. What this clown accused Rush of doing, using partial and wrong information is exactly what he’s doing.
This is a Sheriff ?
The highest law enforcement officer of a county in Arizona ?
Clarence Dupnik has carved himself a very special place in the annals of Sheriffs. Oh, Carl Hayden where are you; can you see this ?
I haven’t read the code of conduct and ethics for a Sheriff, but one can easily conclude that this Sheriff (an officer of the law in an evidence gathering and fact oriented position of objectivity and authority) has taken unusual and detrimental liberties with public pronouncements of his world views in violation of the public trust by only confounding any pursuit of justice in this case.
One thing is certain:
His words (speaking from authority) will surely be used by the defense in the court trial of this vile creature that killed a 9 year old girl in this horrid massacre in Tucson.
Further, Sheriff Clarence Dupnik’s pronouncements and bizarre comportment call into question the results and objectivity of any investigation done by his office during his tenure.
Great input, thank you all sooooo much. I am really upset by this guy. grrrrrrr
