After police officers were found to have been harrassing Hispanic immigrants in East Haven, CT, the mayor was asked to respond to the charges. Mayor Joseph Maturo:
"I might have tacos when I go home. I'm not quite sure yet."People were upset by the mayor's insensitivy, while others didn't see what the big deal was about. Those who made light of this situation missed the bigger issue in that immigrants were being taken advantage of by those in power. The off-hand remark made by Mr. Maturo could've been blown off if police officers weren't abusing their power.
Reform Immigration for America sprang into action by delivering the mayor a ton of tacos.
It's not exactly reassuring to know that other communities also have a numbskull for a mayor, but it's good that he's being called out on his behavior.

but he also said he might have spaghetti
so what you're saying only whites should be questioned by the police
I think what this mayor needs is a Taco mascot from Laredo
Will "Reform Immigration for America" do anything to reform Mexico?
The FBI thinks the cops should stop harrassing, and assaulting the people.
___hey if we could get tacos into every household in the USA, then we could teach them Spanish , y luego . . .
Tacos > Laredo or Laredo > tacos?
offended people offend me
I guess most people here have never been harassed or discriminated against.... It's not a laughing matter or something to take lightly.
boo hoo,, boo hoo,,mommy someone said bad words to me!
LMAO
mayor just received 500 tacos from restaurants
with recently failed health inspections/
VIVA LA RAZA
Lets send them Raul!
Offended? I don't think so. I take it as a compliment that he wants tacos.
Now days everyone has to be politically correct otherwise someone will be offended.
Lets send him the contingent of WBCA entourage with tacos! Big Deal!
Why is la raza so sensitive about this.
Had he made a true racial remark then that would be cause for concern.
I hope this man eats lots of tacos.
I have no problem as long as this police force "profiles" everyone equally!!!
___Salinas says "send more Tacos"
dejenlo que trague tacos a ver si asi se le quita lo pendejo.........arriba la raza y al que no le guste comase un taco ajjajajjjaj
but the man loves tacos
hurt 6th street bitch!
You ever been harrasssed by Mexican Military police on Guerrero Street? THAT is harrassment!
I want to know who the police were profiling? Criminals?
If they did something wrong than let the FBI do their job.
I was not offended by his remark. He actually made me laugh.
its sounds like they are profiling poor hispanic people. Are you saying poor hispanic people are criminals?
By the way, if you have ever received a traffic ticket or parking violation then you are a criminal in Texas. With that in mind, who is not a criminal in this state?
"eat Tacos" is not a racial remark.
however, the reporter who asked that question sure had a "set-up" agenda in mind.
You all are missing the point. It's not the eating tacos remark. It's the insensitity the mayor has and not caring that there was racial profiling and mostly against Hispanics. Apparently there were many complaints and he did nothing, that is why the Feds stepped in.
while I was working in Mexico i used to get pulled over
All the time for DWG.
driving while gringo
this caused permanent psychological damage because I was offended,, but I guess it was better than being shot
...so did the mayor of Mexico city say he was going to eat hamburgers?
No I did not miss the point.
I hope the police keeps profiling and gets all criminals off the streets!
...then they can have coffee breaks at at taco stand!!!
