"Police brutality, wrongful stops and racial profiling"

A look at some of the comments from Patch account-holders in nearby towns.

 

 

Branford: “Holy cow, Jack......You are the biggest Giants fan! I must say I don't know any Patriots fans with memorabilia anything like your collection.” Branford Patch looked for the biggest Giants fan in town and found their man.Jack Barletta has an amazing collection of Giants gear. It could be a museum.  

East Haven: “This is a case about police brutality, wrongful stops and racial profiling. And its about a stupid racially insensitive remark by the Mayor of the town where these problems exist. How does referring to the ‘Latino Community’ or ‘assimilating’ or the number of stars and stripes relate to that. Are people saying its the victims fault that they have been mistreated because they are different. I really don’t understand the logic behind these arguments. Because there is none!” One commenter sparked a debate by arguing that the Latino community needs to assimilate with the rest of East Haven, but this person pointed out perceived flaws in that argument.

Milford: “I think Staten Island Chuck is more accurate in his predictions.” Tomorrow is Groundhog Day, but at least one reader isn’t a fan of Punxsutawney Phil and prefers the groundhog’s cousin in New York.
