As in anything one should always hear both sides of a story to determine the truth. Just because a Mexican-American or anyone else says they were racially profiled doesn't necessarily make it so.

So true. Let's hear thr officer's side of the story. He may have had a legitimate reason for stopping the guy.

I didn't call him a liar. Why bring up the fact that he was a vet? What does that have to do with it? Vets are just as human as anyone else and can lie. It could be that it was merely his misconception that he was racially profiled. As I said, I would like to know both sides of the story before passing judgement. Apparently, you don't.

As for Sheriff Arpaio again I ask when has he ever been convicted of racial profling?

What does being a vet have to do with it? Let's just say the guy who was late to work, and needed an excuse, was lying. There's no proof he was even stopped. Why doesn't the guy go to the police sation, pick out the officer who stopped him, and file charges for an illegal stop?
