Aren't there any alleged crimes by non-Hispanics you can report? Can't believe that the police blotter doesn't contain folks from the caucasian ethnic group.

Hey Even,
Where does the article indicate anyone's ethnic group? The police's probable cause was based on the vehicle description. If you desire Caucasations representation, it could be witin the diversity of the police department. A bigot could be in your mirror.

This isn't about ethnicity [Portion removed due to disrespectful comment or offensive language]! The media reports the facts, and the fact is that these two scumbags have Mexican-sounding names. Get a life, and stop trying to make something out of nothing!

Actually, there's only one name mentioned in the story, and while it could be Mexican, it could also be European (Spain) or from any of a number of countries in Central or South America.

The fact remains that two people were arrested for Burglary. Good work Menlo Park Police. It doesn't matter what race or nationality you are a criminal is a criminal and belongs in jail.
