Spokane Law Enforcement harassment of Romani-Americans

1986 — (quote) The Spokane Police Department’s Gypsy File, a document half an inch thick, has determined that crime constitutes our very culture: “scams, theft and confrontations with law enforcement officials is a way of life with Gypsies” (dated 1986, on page 9).

[Recently, as they harassed a Hispanic woman in the Spokane Valley, Spokane Vally Police and Spokane Sheriff’s Deputies referred to an Asian-American fast gas owner on Broadway in the Spokane Valley as a “Gypsy” and a “Hindu”. Police racism in the Spokane area is an undeniable fact, verifiable simply by speaking with members of minority communities in the area].
