That there are too many Arabs or Arabic-looking Jews there to profile.
And then there’s that . . .
Not at all. This thread is open for defense (and attack) of Arpaio’s (alleged) actions on any terms, legal, political, moral or social.
25.8% of Arizonans are of Mexican ancestry. That is also statistics. Any brown face you see there is more likely than not a native-born citizen’s.
Sorry, “LE”?
Fair enough – take it away. My attack on Arapio is based on the illegal actions alleged.
Huh?
You quoted the woman and the car things as:
I quoted what I think you are referencing as:
See the difference?
I am asking for the cite to your quote. Mine is cited.
Lawful Evil.
The cite is the same as yours. Do an in-page search.
Ah…I see. I saw the first one and its similarity made me think that was the same one and you had a different source. My bad…
I will note in your case the charges against her were dismissed so apparently the court didn’t think she had committed a crime.
Of course not. But disobeying a traffic cop’s request to stay in your car during a stop will get you cuffed and detained. Has nothing to do with her being a “Latina”.
Are you sure?
The issue here then seems to me to be:
-
What is the racial breakdown of people pulled over for burnt out license plate lights? It should be roughly equivalent to the racial makeup of the population they serve (unless you want to suggest white people don’t have burnt out license plate lights).
-
When someone disobeys an officer for such a trivial infraction and in a trivial way (i.e. license plate light and not a murder suspect and not staying in the car when told to) do they tackle everyone and knee them in the back and handcuff them? Or are they particularly rough with Latinos?
I do not know the answer to that but the government is alleging a pattern of bias here so I suspect the Latinos are getting rougher treatment at the hands of the police, on a regular and ongoing basis, than white people are.
I am certain where I grew up if my mom (white woman) did the same she would not have been tackled, kneed in the back and handcuffed. Sure they may well still have arrested her but not resorted to this level of force for a burnt out plate light and refusing to stay in the car.
It is that kind of debilidad that shows your weakness–I don’t need and would never rely on Babelfish like you. Obviously, fluency isn’t your strength. Yo solo estudie el castellano avanzado en Purdue University, nada mas.
Obviously, following rules is not your strength. You have already been told that you are to post in English, here. If you continue to ignore Moderator instructions, you will not be posting here much longer, regardless how “advanced” your foreign language classes might have been.

And I only studied intro Spanish at a community college. No nos divertiste (for my fellow anglophones what I’m telling him means “you did not amuse us”)
Whatever Spanish you learned, empathy with the Spanish speaking people is not your strength.
Who the hell is this guy?
Nail on the effen head. You do not man handle a pregnant woman like that without very good cause. abdominal trauma be can very dangerous to the fetus.
One you should enjoy quickly before he’s gone, is my guess.
Since there was no pregnant woman involved in the case he was referring to, I’d say you missed the “effen head” of the nail by about a mile.
Cite for it being UK police regulations that they “have to ensure that the same number of ethnicities are questioned as well to ensure no racial bias”?
Cite for “the police had to waste valuable time and money questioning Asians, West Indians etc. to make sure that the quotas were similar in number” regarding IRA violence in London?
