Friend, this is outrageous.
This is Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
And I’ve seen a lot in my years—but what’s happening to Corporal Salvatore Oldrati is a disgrace.
In September 2021, Corporal Oldrati did what every officer is trained to do: stop an armed threat and protect the public.
The suspect was reported to be breaking into a home. He was armed. He pointed a gun at one officer—then turned it on Corporal Oldrati.
And even then—Salvatore gave verbal commands, loud and clear.
It didn’t work.
When the suspect refused to drop his weapon and kept pointing it at them, Corporal Oldrati had no choice but to defend himself and his fellow officer.
Now he’s been indicted. He’s facing second-degree manslaughter charges. And an activist prosecutor wants to make an example out of him.
Salvatore is a hero—not a criminal.
He followed his training. He followed the law. He did his job.
He was even honored as Officer of the Year, twice.
But now his entire future is on the line.
Salvatore and his wife are fighting an uphill legal battle—against a justice system that’s been hijacked by politics. And they can’t do it alone.
Will you step up today and donate to help Corporal Salvatore Oldrati fight back?
Salvatore has served his community for 10 years with pride.
He’s a third-generation law enforcement officer. He grew up in inner-city Philadelphia and dreamed of protecting the innocent from the time he was just 4 years old.
And now he’s being treated like a criminal—for protecting his life and his partner’s life from an armed man who refused to drop his weapon.
If we don’t draw the line here—no officer in America will be safe.
I’ve seen firsthand what happens when we let radicals go after law enforcement unchecked.
We cannot let this stand.
Salvatore needs us NOW.
His trial is looming. Time is running out—and every dollar you give goes directly to his legal defense and helps support his family.
Please don’t wait. Help us defend this good man and show America we still stand with our officers.
Rush your donation to help Corporal Salvatore Oldrati now!
For justice,
Sheriff Joe Arpaio (ret.)
