Hispanic Leaders Fear Patrols Will Spark Violence

Hispanic leaders are calling for an immediate end to Sheriff Joe Arpaio's illegal immigrants' patrols, claiming they are dividing the community and could lead to violence. "As a community, we see him going out setting up his troops and stopping people at random -- racial profiling," said Hector Yturralde, president of We Are America. "After they find out they can't speak English or they have no identification, then they stop them for immigration."

[the whole article is little more than the sloppy double speak evident in the first paragraph - re-read it: police officers are 'troops'?, they're being 'profiled' while stopped at random, then they're being 'stopped' for immigrating... vs. checked for immigration status only after they can't speak the language nor have any identification. And the cops have been doing this free of incident for some time now, so who exactly is 'We Are America' worried about becoming violent?

It's called rule of law, and it's critical to any society. I'd invite this 'tyrannical' sheriff up here but somehow I don't think he'll relocate to the San Francisco bay area {call it intuition}]
