A protest of Maricopa County Sheriff Joseph Arpaio’s visit to Las Vegas on Friday became heated when the Arizona lawman tried to talk to participants. Chants of “go home” and “leave” were directed at Arpaio as he approached the group rallying outside of Stoney’s Rockin’ Country bar, where he was speaking to a conservative group. “I have a right to be in Las Vegas,” Arpaio said. “If I told them to go home, I’d be the bad guy.”
Arpaio said he doesn’t understand why there was a protest of Arizona’s law. No one is asking for anyone’s papers unless they commit a crime, he said. “I should be a hero,” Arpaio said. “They should be thanking me.”
Protesters allege Arpaio is racist and harasses people based on the color of their skin.
