Tacos for Dinner!

U.S. News - Conn. mayor's 'tacos' comment in Latino profiling case draws outrage

One blunder on top of another? The mayor of East Haven, Conn., came under a torrent of criticism Wednesday for telling a TV reporter “I might have tacos” when asked about how he would support the Latino community in the aftermath of the arrest of four town police officers accused of racially profiling and bullying Latino residents. The public fiasco began Tuesday with the announcement by federal officials that the FBI had arrested four East Haven police officers on charges that they conspired to deprive some residents, particularly Latinos, of their constitutional rights. The charges include multiple counts of excessive force, false arrest, obstruction and conspiracy.

 

It is not the fact that all he can do for the hispanic community was eat a taco for dinner. The problem is that all he can relate to them with is a taco because he is so insensitive to the harm that these police officers have done to these people. Just because the hispanics are only 10% of the community does not mean that he can treat them as third class citizens, and not respect their Constitutional rights.
The police officers work for the city he should be more careful with what he says, because he and his city lost the lawsuit and the city is liable for the damages, and the ones that he keeps on adding.
