im white and every single time ive had warrants i too was sent to jail. its not profileing its the law. i also know of many women all races who deliver in jail in shackles. this women is trying to say she stole to feed her kids then were did she get the $ to start building a house? and maybe she shouldnt have so many children is she cant pay for them and she should pay her fines not build a house
Joe Arpaio is the most corrupt sheriff in the country -- and maybe in the history of the country. Just type his name into Google and read about the prisoners who have been beaten to death -- while they were locked down in restraints -- multiple times in his jails. Read about the racial profiling and downright harassment and cruelty. Read about his swat operation where they ended up burning down a guy's house and KILLING HIS DOG -- and ended up arresting the guy...for a misdemeanor! Read about the systematic way he has harrassed journalists who have tried to expose his reign of violence and intimidation -- the way he has had political opponents arrested and watched and harrassed -- the way he has bullied citizen groups. This guy is an out of control rogue cop. If there was any justice in the world, someone would put him down like a two-legged dog. Eventually, though, he'll pay for the hundreds of crimes against humanity. He will end up in prison along with the thousands of people he has put there and literally tortured. This guy honestly makes me ashamed of my country. If we can let a tyrant like this keep an entire county in fear -- then what good are we anyway?
I can see the warrant thingy... and I can also feel sympathy as the reasoning why she felt she had to steal food to feed the kids. Which is still wrong. If she had been in this country this long, why hasn't she established better finances through the Governments system? What people don't realize coming into this country is that they have to obey the law of the land else they become criminals. She may have been wrong through not knowing the law; or by doing what she felt she had to; but what this deputy did was down right dishonorable. He may as well be a man of eastern culture. He treated this woman the same way an extremist Islamic would have. If this is a sample of the NWO training... you can kiss the American culture of Justice for all.... good buy. I just want to know when the Church is going to start doing their job and care for widows and children as the Bible commands; so these widows don't feel they have to steal to car for their children. If she has been in this country that loge, she should have already had her driver license. Come on Church.... do the right thing!
She had two warrants for her arrest. Why should she get preferential treatment because she is hispanic? Isn't that racist when you favor one race over the other.? Sure, she should have had a normal delivery room and been allowed to have her baby near her. But she is not a victim here.
