 PHOENIX -- Hecklers broke out into song and
forced a high-profile Arizona sheriff to abandon a First Amendment
forum sponsored by Arizona State University's journalism school.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio was asked by a panel of journalists
Monday night to explain his relationship with the media, his various
law enforcement policies and whether his office conducts racial
profiling.

Arpaio told the panel that his office is an
"equal opportunity law enforcement agency" that will arrest anyone who
violates the law.
Later in the interview at ASU's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism
and Mass Communication, protesters began loudly singing and chanting as
Arpaio was asked about a federal investigation and his policies on
illegal immigration.
The sheriff told the panel the outburst was "ridiculous" and he left the stage.
ASU journalism school dean Christopher Callahan later called the protest misplaced.
