Harleys drown out news conference

 America's toughest sheriff, Joe Arpaio is in the news again,
and 4 Harley Davidsons are used to make a political statement:

PHOENIX — Scores of sheriff’s deputies, assisted by civilian volunteers
and shadowed by observers from immigration advocacy groups, conducted
saturation patrols this weekend in neighborhoods where illegal
immigrants live, work and worship.

The observers tried to ensure that people snared in the operation were
treated properly by law enforcement personnel under the direction of
the county’s hard-edged sheriff, Joe Arpaio.

Immigrant advocates who tried to conduct their own news conference
just outside the command center were interrupted by four people on
Harley-Davidson motorcycles adorned with American flags. The cyclists
stopped their bikes and revved their engines, making conversation
impossible.

It seems Joe operated without coordinating with the mayor or
the Phoenix municipal police:

It's about time somebody stood up to the raging liberals and took back

Uh, up until the last elections, conservatives controlled (A) the White
House, (B) Congress, and (C) the courts. That's all three branches of
government.

That being the case, exactly where -and who- were all these "raging
liberals" that you claim had taken the country away from you?

 
Uh, are you deliberately ignoring the many big cities run by lefty
scum who refuse to obey Federal law and prohibit their law enforcement
and other municipal workers from assisting Immigration officials? IMO,
any city or other jurisdiction which acts in contravention to Federal
immigration law should have every cent of Federal funding pulled
immediately. But we have no one in government with the balls to do
so...yet.

Not being an American I can't understand a municipal govt getting
involved in national defense issues; I thought their normal business
was traffic lights and drainage systems etc.
