Wasn't more than 4 years ago, this whole thing would have been covered up. Indians were on handled on a parallel legal system, where instead of prison, they paid baksheesh, as part of cultural sensitivity, or so they said. Nobody really knows where the money went.
For years, people who didn't live in the area talked about how law abiding and such Indians were. A couple of forced retirements of DA's later, and it turns out, once the law is applied to them, they get arrested at about the same rate as everybody else. What a surprise.
The police department is falling all over themselves to make this go away. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
