The Sheriff is in town! Sheriff Joe Arpaio comes to Salem
Sheriff, Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona visited Salem Saturday June 27. He addressed a crowd of enthusiastic grassroots activists on the steps of the State Capitol on a hot, muggy afternoon.
Protesters across the street were loud and rude attempting to disrupt the rally by blowing whistles, chanting through a bull horn and waving signs. Their tactics were unsuccessful in dampening the spirits of the crowd.
