Dupnik 

1. A man with principle. A person who speaks with unabashed candor and conviction. One who speaks their mind for saying what needs to be despite a possible backlash from the media.

2. A no-frills law enforcement officer who does his job.

Origin. Named for Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, a popular sheriff in Pima County, located in Southern Arizona. With a law enforcement career spanning over 50 years, Dupnik has won reelection by far, greater margins than his Maricopa County counterpart, Joe Arpaio in the past several elections.

Dupnik became the target of tea party activists and received death threats for speaking out against Arizona's controversial "SB 1070" bill calling it "unnecessary" and "racist."

Dupnik's department have arrested more illegal immigrants - and turned them over to the border patrol, than any other law enforcement agency in the state.

While speaking to the media after a Jan. 8, 2011 shooting that targeted his friend, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, Dupnik again became a target of Right Wing media for saying, "There's reason to believe that this individual may have a mental issue. And I think people who are unbalanced are especially susceptible to vitriol."

Despite the passion-based, knee-jerk attacks from the Far Right, Dupnik has been lauded as a hero in other circles for exercising his right to free speech in alluding to the reasons behind the growing polarization that has pervaded diplomatic discourse in America.

When Johnny the factory worker stood up for his co-workers and spoke candidly to upper management about why morale was so low on the assembly line, his peers lauded him for being a, "dupnik," for stepping up and saying what needed to be said but others feared to say.

Dupnik 

A word which is often used to describe what "appears" to be an honorable man in law enforcement (common region of country where used - SW United States) but in actuality is an abject moron. The term is often used by retreating leftists who themselves are often referred to as "dupniks" It really is a catch all cover word to make a common moron seem far more intelligent that he or she really is, at least to his followers and stooges. Akin to the concept of putting lipstick on a pig and focusing solely on the lipstick.

Clarence was a misguided political hack shill with no sense of honor or decorum who whined incessantly to the press about issues he could not substantiate to cover actions of his own supposed accountability which he could not explain. Democrats just called him a "dupnik", to be polite.
