Racial profiling is still running wild in Arizona…
Judge Orders Arizona Sheriff To Stop Racial Profiling Latino Citizens
A shady Arizona sheriff known for his “stern” methods of laying down the law has now been called out for racial profiling practices towards Latino citizens and ordered to stop.

A federal judge has ruled that the office of America’s self-proclaimed toughest sheriff systematically singled out Latinos in its trademark immigration patrols, marking the first finding by a court that the agency racially profiles people.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Murray Snow in Phoenix backs up years of allegations from Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s critics who say his officers violate the constitutional rights of Latinos in relying on race in their immigration enforcement.
Snow, whose ruling Friday came more than eight months after a seven-day, non-jury trial, also ruled Arpaio’s deputies unreasonably prolonged the detentions of people who were pulled over.
It’s about time somebody put a stop to this madness is Arizona!
