Dear Friend,
I’m Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and I don’t use these words lightly: What’s happening to Officer Daniel Sanchez is a complete travesty of justice.
Daniel did everything right. He followed his training. He answered the call to protect innocent lives. But now, thanks to a radical, anti-police District Attorney, he’s the one facing felony charges and the possibility of 10 years in prison.
Can I count on your gift of $30 or more to help defend this wrongly accused officer?
It was the middle of the night when Officer Sanchez responded to a desperate 9-1-1 call. A gunman was standing on a porch, firing into a house. Two shots had already been fired when Daniel arrived.
The suspect — armed with an AR-15-style rifle — posed an immediate threat to the lives of everyone in that neighborhood.
Daniel shouted for the man to drop his weapon. But when the gunman ignored him, Daniel had no choice. He had to act. In that moment, Daniel Sanchez did what any officer would have done — he protected innocent lives by taking down the threat.
Now, instead of being praised for his bravery, Officer Sanchez is being hunted by Travis County District Attorney José Garza, a man determined to make an example out of good officers like Daniel. Garza convened a grand jury, and now Daniel is facing a third-degree felony charge. If convicted, he’ll be sent to prison for a decade — alongside the very criminals he helped lock up!
This is outrageous. Officer Sanchez’s actions were completely justified. His own department, the Austin Police, backs him up 100%. But that’s not stopping this politically-motivated prosecutor from trying to ruin his life.
Let me be clear — this isn’t just an attack on Daniel Sanchez. This is an attack on every officer who puts their life on the line to protect their community. If they can railroad Daniel for doing his job, what message does that send to every other cop out there?
Daniel needs our help, and he needs it NOW. The legal battle ahead is going to be brutal. His future hangs in the balance. His family’s future hangs in the balance. And we cannot let this injustice stand.
My friends at the National Center for Police Defense (NCPD) is committed to standing by Officer Sanchez, but we can’t do it alone. His legal defense will be costly, and time is running out.
Friend, I’m personally asking you to step up today. Officer Sanchez is fighting for his life, and he needs every one of us to stand with him. Your donation will go directly toward his legal defense and ensure that this hero isn’t destroyed by a corrupt system.
Please, click here to make your tax-deductible donation right now. Every dollar counts in the fight for justice.
Daniel answered the call to protect his community. Now we need to answer the call to protect him.
Thank you for your immediate action.
Sincerely,
Sheriff Joe Arpaio
