On April 17th, the Seattle Police Department’s gang unit responded to a 911 call made by a man who claimed that he was robbed by four Latino men with a machete. One of those officers who responded to the call detained a Latino male suspect, threatened to “beat the [expletive] Mexican piss out” of him, and kicked him in the head. The suspect was later released after police confirmed that he had nothing to do with the alleged robbery.
Think Progress has more.
And while the officer has issued an apology ( was he fired? ) and the US Department Of Justice is investigating, it's this type of scenario that is likely to occur again once the Arizona immigration law goes into full effect.
It will never cease to amaze me when I hear conservatives claim that they are a "peaceful" grouping of people and their words and deeds never lead to violence against anyone. I wonder how many of them have seen this video?
