A hearing has been set for Thursday for the Cook County Forest Preserve cop who stood by as woman was harassed in Caldwell Woods over her Puerto Rican flag T-shirt.

Officer Patrick Connor has been on desk duty since the June incident involving Mia Irizarry and Timothy Trybus, who harassed Irizarry and questioned her citizenship ina video that’s gone viral on social media.

Politicians are apologizing to Irizarry and condemning the attack.

“We’ve worked hard over the last 7.5 years to make the Forest Preserve District a welcoming place for all,” said Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle.

“The incident in June is completely unacceptable. I apologize to the young woman who had this terrible experience. I’m troubled by the response of the initial officer on the scene.”

U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez wants the Justice Department to investigate the incident to see if federal civil rights charges are warranted.“There's a culture of bigotry and hate that's been condoned in the U.S., which now feels unleashed to express itself in the most ugly and aggressive ways,” Gutierrez said in a tweet.

“In this case, a U.S. citizen questions the citizenship of another U.S. citizen and American law-enforcement just sits back and watches.”

I don’t care that she is Puerto Rican or wearing a Puerto Rican flag t-shirt just because I'm Puerto Rican. We all should care because we are decent human beings & need to stand up to bigotry & bullies...
