Ruling likened to earth shattering by AACP head
Cedar Rapids NAACP president Sylvester Grady called the Justice Department decision on the 1984 death of Ames Collins earth shattering. He argued the case highlights deficiencies in minority representation in Linn County law enforcement and that the affair affects neighborhoods nationwide. Collins died after an apparent assault in Linn County Jail during an intoxication arrest. a deputy was later cleared of criminal liability, and related federal civil rights suits remain unresolved.
