A comedy routine by Filipino American comedian Edwin San Juan apparently may have been a bit much for many of the 600 deputies and their spouses in attendance, reports NBC LA.
Many were offended by San Juan’s racially tinged humor. Sheriff Lee Baca apologized after the event through a spokesperson.
“The Sheriff extends any apology to anybody who may have been offended,” Steve Whitmore said. For his part, San Juan did not return NBC LA’s calls for comment.
But on You Tube he describes his comedy as taking the negative and turning it into a positive.
