Man sues Menlo Park, alleges racial profiling in arrest

I think the town's attorney may be acting with a bit of a short memory on this issue. A few years ago I personally wrote him and the town a letter protesting a somewhat similar event in the same area of Menlo Park. In that situation, the Hispanic person who does my housekeeping and one of her employees were detained for about an hour on suspicion of being Hispanic. They were photographed ("for our records") and eventually released. They did not pursue any action against the town or wish to file a complaint for fear of precipitating retaliation. They were there for a cleaning job for a nearby residence whose owner spoke up for them but had no impact on the officers' suspicion of their presence in the neighborhood. Ethnic stereotyping is and has been alive and well in MP.
BTW - never heard back from the town or the attorney.

Menlo Park City Attorney Bill McClure said in an interview that Menlo Park has not yet been served with the case, and he hasn't heard anything about it other than what is available online in the federal court records system.

"We've never had any case where an allegation of racial profiling was upheld or validated," he said. Since 1978 when he began working for the city, "I don't remember any cases where there was an allegation of racial profiling," he said. "It has been a non-issue."

Maybe not racial profiling, but what about excessive force?
