(Houston, Texas) December 10, 2008 - As reported on Monday, a Sikh family that reported a burglary last week was handcuffed, asked about the "bombings in Mumbai", and told by an officer that "he knows Muslims." Watch video on what happened here and here. The Sikh Coalition requests that the community show its response and take action now:
Sign a Petition
Harris County Sheriff-Elect Adrian Garcia is visiting the Sikh Center of Houston on Sunday, December 14, 2008. He will be the new Sheriff for Harris County next year. This petition will be directly handed over to him, so please help us gain as many signatures as possible.
Submit a Question
Harris County Sheriff-Elect Adrian Garcia is visiting the Sikh Center of Houston on Sunday, December 14, 2008. During his visit the Tagore family and sangat members will be able to ask him questions on the actions he will take in response to the treatment of the Tagore family by police officers. Submit a question for the Tagore family to ask Sheriff-Elect Garcia directly when he visits the Gurdwara.
Make a Call
Harris County Sheriff-Elect Adrian Garcia (when he takes office) along with Judge Ed Emmet are charged with running the Harris County Sheriff's Office. Please call their offices directly and register your concern with the conduct of Harris County Sheriffs' deputies towards the Tagore family.
