Investigation of Sheriff’s Dept.
The parade of politicos who were graciously given priority to address the Board of Supervisors at the sheriff’s hearing were best represented by Ray Watson, mayor of the city of Walnut. Watson succinctly expressed the racist and bigoted sentiment of these bedroom-community havens for the affluent by identifying “illegal aliens” as the real problem and by calling for their deportation.
Watson bragged of being a retired deputy sheriff and of having spent a number of those years training deputies. Is it any wonder that there are so many racist deputies who treat Mexicans and other Latinos as though they were less than human?
