Mayor answers how he'll help latinos, "I might have tacos when I go home"

There's nothing funny, at all, about the years of civil rights violations that took place in East Haven, Conn., where four officers were arrested yesterday for routinely abusing their power and intimidating Latinos who entered the suburb.

What is funny is this Courant video of idiot East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo telling WPIX reporter Mario Diaz "I might have tacos when I go home" in response to the question "what are you doing for the Latino community today?" It's like the best episode of The Office ever, except that it represents a real-life top-down culture of ugly racist incompetence instead of a cute fictional world of good intentions and happy endings.

1. Maturo has always been the

perfect picture of class. He's an officious little prick and I'm not surprised to see him continue to come across perfectly in character.
