But always remember the standard enabling defense: It's not about race. It's never about race. Ever. And only white folks can be trusted on this matter.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Students at Yale Law School on Friday released an analysis showing that more than half of the tickets East Haven police issued along two main roads went to Hispanic drivers, even though Hispanics make up less than 6 percent of the population.

Their report comes as the police department faces a federal investigation into bias allegations.

The report, aided by Yale statisticians, also said East Haven police officers substantially underreported the number of tickets issued to Hispanic drivers by reporting most of them as white. It cited one officer as reporting virtually all of his tickets were issued to white drivers and none to Hispanics, although nearly 80 percent of his tickets were issued to Hispanic drivers.

The Rev. James Manship, who was arrested last year while videotaping police officers in an attempt to document alleged harassment of Hispanics, said he was troubled but not surprised by the findings. The charges against the priest were later dropped.

"These numbers support the stories of racial profiling and police abuse that I have heard from my parishioners," Manship said in a statement.



Everybody knows it. Many freely choose to lie about it.

I'll be curious to see what creative defenses of such things people come up with this time.
