Everyone is familiar with blindfolded Lady Justice holding a balance scale. The system, to work fairly and justly, requires a high standard of behavior from its gatekeepers. Sheriff Bizzell has failed to maintain the required standard of behavior and , for the good of all, should resign. Does anyone believe that Latinos are going to be treated fairly when the Sheriff, himself, has used such demeaning and dehumanizing language against them? I think not.

Simply because they’re Hispanics and do the jobs that unskilled and often times uneducated Natavists won’t do.
The same thing must be applied to Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Whose thuggery tactics goes further than disparaging Latinos.
