Racist and cop are dumbasses. We have a lot of Puerto Rican people in Florida from the hurricane who are trying to stay because there is not much left in PR. I hope they can stay and contribute. Trump screwed up by not sending enough assistance fast enough and not assisting in the recovery.

I guess they ID the guy and charged him with simple assault.
https://www.yahoo.com/gma/shouldnt-...n-wearing-211603066--abc-news-topstories.html

"Mia Irizarry posted the video of the incident that shows the man, who is facing charges, verbally harassing her at a pavilion that she said she rented with the appropriate permits. The man, Timothy Trybus, has been charged with simple assault, according to an incident report."

We really need to divide the country to give them their safe space.

An angry racist man was caught on camera over the weekend berating a woman for wearing a shirt with the Puerto Rican flag on it in the United States — despite the fact that Puerto Rico is actually a U.S. territory.

In the video, which was posted on July 7th, a woman wearing a Puerto Rican flag shirt calmly tries to explain to a man who has been yelling at her that Puerto Rico is actually part of the United States, even though it is not officially a state.

Video mid-page.

He sounds like most of the Trump supporters on this page. lol.
That "officer" needs fired and charged along with the asshole. That was amazing to watch, and should be one of the videos that people point when asked why minorities protest. Lock them both up!

That's awesome. Hopefully Florida goes Dem thanks to the influx of even more brown people who Donald Trump abandoned and left for dead. Maybe we send a few boats for their other relatives. :grinning: Everyone adopt a Puerto Rican. How many votes can you cram into an extra bedroom!

It does look like they can vote in US elections since they reside on the mainland now vs the island. Not sure how many came over from the island after the hurricane. Estimates vary.

Can he go be an officer somewhere else?

Who knows. From the article I linked to:
"(Conner's) personnel file will reflect that this officer did not resign in good standing, with a note indicating that he left the district with discipline pending," the park agency's general superintendent, Arnold Randall, said."

The racist ranter is now charged with a hate crime.

"Man who harassed woman in Puerto Rican T-shirt now facing hate crime charges"
https://www.yahoo.com/gma/police-of...rto-rican-151203854--abc-news-topstories.html

"Timothy Trybus already faced a simple assault charge over the June 14 incident but a spokesperson for the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office announced that Trybus will be in court for a bond hearing over two counts of a felony hate crime charges on Friday July 12."

I'm confident all the conservatives on the board will support those charges, since we want a more civil society.

This one does. I also think the police officer should have a charge leveled against him that is equal or greater than that of the guy committing the crime. Standing by and allowing a crime to happen is worse in my opinion then the crime itself.
