Re those posting about the SLC nurse being arrested by the out-of-control detective in SLC, such incidents have long been the norm in that "peace-loving" city. Back in the 1990's, the Salt Lake Tribune ran a series of articles on the local cop-culture & explained that it was extremely unwise for anyone in SLC to "question-authority."
They recited incident after incident of respectible white residents getting the schist beat out of them by enraged cops after the citizen did not show proper respect to a cop. Many of the stories involved plain-clothed officers in unmarked cars who stopped folks for minor traffic offensives. When the citizen would ask what the unidentified cops thought they were doing, the beating would commence.
This behavior was fully supported by the police department & the police union, but ended up costing the city a lot of money in lawsuits.

Affirmative action will not be necessary when widespread institutionalized discrimination ends. So far that end is nowhere in sight.
I'm a successful white guy, and I'm successful in part because doors opened wide open for me that we're not so open to others. That's obvious to me.

OMG !!!!!
A cop does something st00pid.
Quick run to the forum like a monkey and be outraged.
This only happens in America and all cops in America are corrupt and st00pid.
In the rest of the world all cops are perfect.
It's all Trumps fault.
Everything is Trumps fault, even the fact that you're a monkey .....

During a three-year period ending in 2007, more than 400 sex crimes reported to Arpaio's office were inadequately investigated or not investigated at all. While providing police services for El Mirage, Arizona, the MCSO under Arpaio failed to follow through on at least 32 reported child molestations, even though the suspects were known in all but six cases. Many of the victims were children of illegal immigrants
In a controversial case, Arpaio's office was accused of ignoring Sabrina Morrison, a teenage girl suffering from a mental disability. On March 7, 2007, the 13-year-old was raped by her uncle, Patrick Morrison. She told her teacher the next day, and her teacher called the MCSO. A rape kit was taken, but the detective assigned to the case told Sabrina and her family that there were no obvious signs of sexual assault, no semen, or signs of trauma.
As a result of the detective's statements, Sabrina was branded by her family as a liar. Her uncle continued to rape her repeatedly, saying he would kill her if she told anyone. She became pregnant by him, and had an abortion. The family did not know that the rape kit had been tested at the state lab and showed the presence of semen. The lab requested that the detective obtain a blood sample from the suspect, Patrick Morrison. Instead of obtaining the blood sample, or making an arrest, the detective filed the crime-lab note and closed the case for four years.
In September 2011 the sheriff's office obtained a blood sample from Patrick Morrison, which was a DNA match with the semen taken over four years earlier. Patrick Morrison was arrested and charged in February 2012; he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 24 years in prison.

This is pretty much my experience as well.

Bumping this along, mainly because this has been my experience too and it bears repeating.

Yes--Trump is right to make it an enforcement priority to uproot 800,000 people and banish them to a foreign country. This is a white mans country, damnit.
