Actually the sherriff Clarence Dupnik is one of the more rational public officials in that state. I first heard about him during the immigration law passing in the state. He call the law a national embarrassment, unecessary and unconstitutional. He said he would enforce the law because it his duty to do so but the law is morally wrong.
So the statements he made after the shooting come as no surprise, he knows his state is a mecca of bigoty from 50 years in Arizona law enforcement so I think he knows what he is talking about. Also he's been re-elected 7 times as sherriff , so I guess he's pretty popular in that county
