Best Activist: Antonio Buehler

photo by Jana Birchum

No spit! No wipe! And no question that this upstanding citizen, Iraq war veteran, and Austin watchdog deserves "Best Activist." Buehler's quest for police accountability since witnessing a woman's arrest on New Year's Eve has drawn the ire of the Austin Police Department and the support of the streets, not to mention our readers. Thank goodness for camera phones and civic mindedness.
