Badged-Up Bullies

This comes as no surprise to a lot of people in Connecticut, who have known for years that the East Haven police have had a program of persecuting Hispanics: The East Haven, CT Police, where four officers have been arrested by the FBI for civil rights violations. The rot apparently reached all the way to the top, as the indictment mentioned an indicted co-conspirator, who apparently was the chief himself. It is possible that he may still be charged.

When the mayor of East Haven was asked what he might do to repair relations with the Hispanic community, he said that he "might have tacos" for dinner.
