Support Your Local Sheriff

Robert talks with Dan Swift, president of the Riverside Sheriff's Association. Swift attended a rally held yesterday in support of two deputies who were videotaped beating two illegal immigrants from Mexico. The Mexicans were beaten April 1st after they ran through a border patrol checkpoint in a pickup truck full of illegal immigrants. Swift says what has not yet been determined is whether a reasonable amount of force was applied and the videotape only shows the moment of the arrest.
