Arizona ( Sheriff Joe Arpaio told to stop his racial profiling on Hispanic drivers )
Federal Judge Places Restrictions on Actions of Arizona Sheriff
PHOENIX – A U.S. federal judge on Wednesday placed heavy restrictions on the Sheriff’s Office in Maricopa County, Arizona, including placing an independent observer there to prevent racial profiling on the part of its personnel.
In his decision, Judge Murray Snow said that the office of Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who has gained wide attention for his operations against immigrants, has three months to hire a bilingual sheriff to serve as a liaison with the community.
Additionally, a six-member community council must be formed that will meet at least three times per year to guarantee a dialogue between community leaders and Arpaio’s office.
Judge Snow ruled last May that the Sheriff’s Office discriminated against Hispanic drivers in a lawsuit filed against it by the American Civil Liberties Union, or ACLU.
Snow ruled that an independent observer is necessary to monitor the actions of the Sheriff’s Office and guarantee that the court’s orders will be complied with.
With regard to the operations undertaken by the office against immigrants, in which volunteers from the office also participate, the federal judge ordered that the office must notify the independent observer and the ACLU of its plans within 24 hours.
Nevertheless, exceptions may occur when the law enforcement agency deems that this could put an operation in danger, and in that case it must notify the court directly.
After the operation is undertaken, Arpaio will have 30 days to hold a public meeting where he will report on the result and the aim of the operation.
According to the court, the Sheriff’s Office will be on probation for three years.
After learning of the court’s decision ACLU legal director Dan Pochoda said that “Judge Snow recognizes that Arpaio’s office for years has practiced racial profiling and unconstitutional policies (and) that requires a change, including naming an independent observer, gathering information and video of each arrest.”

Iran ( Many Conflicting stories about satellite Dishes being " Destroyed " in Iran )
Hassan Rouhani, in the Council on Foreign Relations in New York on September 26: “In Iran everyone has easy access to satellite networks”
NCRI - Speaking in New York at Council on Foreign Relations in on September 26, Hassan Rouhani claimed that “in Iran everyone has easy access to satellite networks, and you can even see dishes on rooftops in every village.”
Two days later, the Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC) in the southern city of Shiraz used personnel carriers and roller trucks to crush 800 satellite dishes and receivers.
IRGC described it as a “symbolic act” and a “valuable measure to confront the cultural offensive staged by the enemies of the revolution and establishment”. The event was held at the “presence of Shiraz city and Fars Province officials”.
The IRGC website in the province wrote in this regard: “IRGC tanks in Shiraz went to war against satellite dishes.” (See photos)
This is the “second phase of the extinction of confiscated devices carried out in just one of the bases allocated for the plan to fight against satellite dishes,” the report added.
A number of dishes crushed carried the US flag with “Death to America” writings on them.
A few days prior to Hassan Rouhani’s speech at the United Nations' General Assembly, the Iranian regime’s culture minister Janati expressed concern that some 60% of the people in Tehran are using satellite dishes.
“Today, free access to information, satellite networks and the Internet… has resulted in a cultural attack resembling itself in immoral and invaluable examples in our society,” state-run Mehr news agency, affiliated to the Ministry of Intelligence reported on September 13.
Friday Prayer Leader in the city of Qom, Mohammad Saeedi, said on September 25: "Today, the enemy, through cultural attacks and offensives, has targeted the depth of the homes and families".
Commander of the regime's State Security Force Border Patrol, Hossein Zolfaghari, annonced a 99% increase in the discovery of satellite devices, ISNA state-run News Agency reported on September 26.
The regime's repressive measures and echoes of concern are a sign of the growing public hatred towards state-run TV networks and a desire towards prohibited TV stations, particularly "Simaye Azadi", which is a reliable source of access to news and information especially regarding the state of the regime and the Iranian Resistance.
Previously, regime's officials had described Simaye Azadi as "dangerous". The regime's deputy media chief has said: "Simaye Azadi, which is related to the activities of the Mohafeqin [PMOI], is among the media outlets that has unfortunately infiltrated into most Iranian homes".
He expressed his regime concern about the "doubling of number of people who have turned to satellites" and described it as a "growing trend" and "very concerning" for the society.
Smiles in New York; execution of prisoners and smashing satellite dishes in Iran; massacre Camp Ashraf residents in Iraq and chemical bombardments of people in Syria; is the policy of the mullahs' regime during Rouhani's presidency.

PHOENIX (CBS5) -
A Phoenix woman is facing a possible felony charge of animal cruelty after an emaciated and weakened dog was found hanging from a door knob with only its back legs touching the floor in an apartment.
Phoenix police initially were investigating a call of domestic violence at the apartment near 19th and Peoria avenues about 6:30 p.m. Saturday when they saw the female Bullmastiff with a large, linked chain around its neck and attached to the door knob, the dog's head hanging to its chest and in distress, Officer James Holmes said.
Corina Ann Martinez, 28, originally told police she restrained the dog because it was vicious. She said she was watching the pet for someone else, Holmes said.
Officers said the pet appeared to be severely malnourished and bones were visible under the skin.
The approximately 2-year-old dog, named Ryder, was taken to an emergency animal clinic, where a veterinarian said the damage to the dog's organs might require it to be euthanized.
Ryder was then taken to the Arizona Humane Society, where the dog was in critical condition, but eating and slowly progressing, Holmes said.
Martinez was interviewed again on Monday and was unable to tell officers how long the dog had been chained and hanging from the door or when it had last eaten, Holmes said.
Officers later determined the dog belonged to Martinez, that she made no attempts to care for the dog.
She was arrested and booked into jail on the felony animal cruelty charge.
Holmes said the investigation was continuing.
