Congratulations to the Austin-American Statesman for its scholarship
and initiative in the Jan. 25, 2004 report by Erik Rodriguez and Andy Alford that shows Austin TX
police are 100 percent more likely to use force against African-Americans than
whites.
The report is a rare and laudible example of careful analysis done independently
by journalists; not simply reporting what others have found. Well done!–gm
