Some Maricopa County deputies have a message for Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon, Mesa Police Chief George Gascon and Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox -- "Shut Up!"

The deputies and other employees of the sheriff's department rallied at Phoenix City Hall Thursday afternoon.

They said they're sick and tired of doing their jobs, putting criminals in jail and saving victims and then being accused of racial profiling by people in power.

Sgt. Brett Palmer said, "We're telling these people in power such as Phil Gordon, Mary Rose Wilcox and Police Chief Gascon, shut up!  They're ignorant. They don't know what it is they're talking about.  They don't have their facts straight."

Palmer said he welcomes a Department of Justice investigation and is confident they will be vindicated.
