Last week, Arpaio's racial profiling trial began. The trial is showcasing documented proof of Arpaio's heinous racial profiling activities. Witnesses are testifying to the racial profiling crimes committed by Arpaio and his ski-masked crew of volunteers. They are testifying that Arpaio's masked volunteers terrorized sleepy little Latino towns like Guadalupe. They stopped all Latino drivers during their "Suppression Sweeps." They singled out and harassed Latinos riding as passengers and left White drivers and passengers alone. They zip tied and harassed Latinos when they had proof of citizenship. They threw a pregnant citizen Latino mother against her car, belly first, brutally assaulting her. Arpaio even admitted his guilt by testifying his views that "dark skin.is the look of the Mexican illegal."
The trial evidence is clear. Arpaio and his masked volunteers are GUILTY of Racial Profiling. He admitted it himself.
The courts MUST find him GUILTY as charged. If they do not, then they are CONDONING his behavior. They are CONDONING Latinos being RACIALLY PROFILED. They are CONDONING Latinos being treated as SECOND-CLASS CITIZENS.
I've been reading some of the articles about Arpaio's Racial Profiling trial. It is clear that the right wing/Republican news sites and Republican Talk Radio are siding with Arpaio. I heard conservative talk radio host Bill Bennett say he doesn't believe it's racial profiling if Latinos "Fit the Profile." This is what most of their sites are saying. In other words, these Republicans are condoning Arpaio's tactics. They are CONDONING "Operation Wetback" all over again. They believe it is acceptable that Latino Citizens be singled out and harassed, zip tied and made to urinate in the streets or be thrown against cars when pregnant. They believe it is acceptable to be man-handled by ski-masked volunteers, hiding their identities.
I find this outrageous and unconscionable. This acceptance of the harassment of Latinos by Republican pundits and politicians is UNACCEPTABLE. WE LATINO AMERICANS WILL REMEMBER THEIR BEHAVIOR IN NOVEMBER.
Additionally, IF Arpaio is found NOT GUILTY, WE LATINOS MUST STAND UP and say:
. WE DO NOT CONDONE RACIAL PROFILING!
. ARPAIO IS GUILTY OF RACIAL PROFILING AS ARE HIS MASKED VOLUNTEERS
. WE WILL TELL ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS ARPAIO'S TACTICS, WE WILL REMEMBER WITH OUR VOTES IN NOVEMBER!!

Dee I realize this is a bit of the subject:
The highly controversial Mexican American History program at the Tucson Unified School District originated in 90's. Since then, there's been no evidence of a conspiracy to overthrow the United States Federal Government by the students or alumni enrolled in the program, as alleged by Arizona, State Attorney General, Thomas Horne. None of the students in the the program have participated, or committed any brutal acts of terrorism, as we have recently experienced in Aurora Co, Columbine High School, Oklahoma City, or Tucson AZ.
There's a number of historical events that have transpired on American soil which we're not particularly fond of. Non-the-less its apart of our nation's history. But perhaps we can do what we have done so conveniently in the past, and stuff the skeleton of Mexican American history in the old closet along with the rest of our collection, and pretend it never happened.
Dee, I'm caught in the middle of dilemma, who would you considered to be a true American Patriot, the M.A.S. students who are demanding their constitutional rights, or the Arizona politicians, and their constituents, who are demanding those rights be taken from them ?
The M.A.S. students are the Patriots. These types of demonstrations remind me of the Civil Rights marches of the sixties.
Arizona politicians are attempting to squelch history and continue their discriminatory ways.
I do plan on writing about the students' heroism. Thank you for helping me put this on my list of future blogs.
