Will the Police in Arizona “Act Stupidly” and not Allow Latinos to Eat Ice Cream? | NewsReal Blog

Does President Obama really believe that 30% of the population of the state of Arizona is now afraid to visit ice cream parlors out of fear that a Gestapo-like police force will demand to see their papers?
