An interesting story this weekend was that a restaurant manager made threatening/joking comments to some uniformed maricopa county sheriff's employees. The article,
Restaurant manager fired in flap with lawmen says,
someone in the kitchen made loud comments directed at the sheriff's employees that indicated "you are the guys arresting all of my kitchen staff."
The employees took that to be in reference to the well-documented arrests of illegal immigrants throughout the Valley in recent months by the Sheriff's Office.
The manager told the cops that the comments, including that he was going to "cook them something special" were sarcastic. He was fired by the company that owns Pei Wei and PF Changs.
While i don't have much simpathy for managers in general, you can guess whose side i am on. I think it's interesting that people would show such blatant disrespect for cops. The sheriff was quoted in the article.
"A lot of people don't like the sheriff because of this (immigration) crackdown," Arpaio said. "It's going to be a little problem as time goes on."
