More on the Mesa sweeps

There is tons of coverage of the sweeps yesterday all over the radio, tv, and in the paper. The war of words between Gascon and Arpaio has really heated up, ending up with Arpaio claiming that he will no longer give warnings on his future sweeps. This is not the type of communication and cooperation that Mesa needs. This isn't the old west where people can settle their differences with a shootout in the street. The overreactions on both sides need to stop and someone needs to step in and make sure cooler heads prevail.

Also, the sweeps are going to continue today, so expect this story to bubble all weekend. There is one bit of irony here and that is Arpaio actually had the gusto to complain about all the hype that are surrounding his sweeps and how its preventing them from doing their job.
