A joint statement issued Wednesday by Clark County Sheriff Chuck Atkins and Prosecuting Attorney Tony Golik addressing hatred and bigotry in the community left some people scratching their heads.
Many questioned what prompted the statement, issued on the sheriff’s office’s Facebook page, and why it was issued now.
The statement, in part, reads: “We reject hate, bigotry, harassment, violence or the inciting of violence, and all actions intended to harm or intimidate others based on race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, immigration status, or any other attribute which serves to marginalize people or groups of people.”
