JOHNSTON COUNTY, N.C. -
Remarks from the Johnston County Sheriff regarding race have divided members of the community.

Some are outraged, while others stand behind Sheriff Steve Bizzell’s remarks about illegal immigrants.

The News and Observer on Sunday published an article where Sheriff Bizzell was quoted saying that Mexicans are "trashy" and illegal immigrants "breed like rabbits." Monday, the newspaper published an apology written by the sheriff.

Tuesday the ACLU requested records to make sure Johnston County authorities have been following state laws in regards to ethnic profiling. The next day the Johnston County attorney said his office has no plans to reply to that request, saying that Bizzell’s private attorney has the documents and will handle the matter.

Sheriff Bizzell declined to comment, but his remarks are still the talk of the county.

At a small Latino grocery and convenience store in Smithfield, Sheriff Bizzell's remarks are splashed across the local Latino newspaper. William Arzola, an immigrant from Venezuela who is now an American citizen, said the comments are hurtful because every race has people who can break the law.

"It's really mean when he said when he put the whole community in one box, Latinos. We are more than one country we are more than one culture,â€

Sheriff Bizzell was referencing the killing of Marcus Lassiter while he was playing in his yard. Hipolito Hernandez ran him down with his vehicle.

"He was referring to the case of Hipolito Hernandez, who was charged in the hit-and-run death of Marcus Lassiter, 7, in April. Hernandez has been charged with drunk driving in Johnston County at least four times in the last four years. "

Gogo, Hernandez initially gave the cops "Pollo" as his name. They later found out pollo means "chicken".
I remember this one well. Little Marcus was in a coma for several days and was taken off life support. Breaks my heart.

Thanks florgal. It seems we are getting more and more of these and keeping tract of the different crimes is getting hard. These are just the tip of the iceberg. There are many that the msm is not even reporting on.

So the ACLU wants to be sure that law enforcement follows all the laws, but they have no problem with illegals who ignore and break any laws they wish.

That's right. They should be called the Anti-American Citizen Law Union.
