So, the dust has settled and the report is out:

http://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/opa/press-releases/attachments/2015/03/04/ferguson_police_department_report.pdf

The Ferguson police department and justice system really is racist.

This investigation and its findings would never have happened without the people on the streets, I’d like to shake all their hands. And, if Michael Brown hadn’t died, this truth also would not have been brought to light for those who couldn’t already see it, so at least something positive came out of his death and I hope his family finds some comfort in that.

Where are the people who were defending the Ferguson police? Where are the people who said the protests weren’t justified? They are giving a repeat performance of the disappearing act that they did after George Zimmerman showed his true colours.

It would be naive to think that Ferguson is an isolated case, I’d like to see this kind of audit done wherever there is cause to think that racist policing is going on. It’d probably he half of America, but it needs to be done. According to Wikipedia a black American born in 1991 has a 29% chance of going to prison. It shouldn’t be that way and auditing these institutions will be an essential part in defeating that statistic for both direct and indirect reasons.

Tesseract, thank you for keeping the Ferguson issue in front of us. I read the first part of the report.....damning is the word for it. The report did say something I don't agree with however. It's about their conclusion that there was no "agent provacateurs" present.(to paraphrase) The residents know what's going down there with the "outside agents" who were brought in to hopefully cause a race riot that could be swept across the nation. Luckily they failed due to the levelheadedness of the people and their level of understanding of the complexity of the situation. Ferguson is within a few hours of where we live, so I was keeping my eye on it.

Regards, Craig

I read that yet another unarmed family man of color was shot in Texas on the way home from work, supposedly.

This has all gotten really out of control.
The recent one in Pasco really affected people in my area, too. It sucks.

:( ty for following this.

Amen. He's just like Emmitt Til. All I can say is it's not setting well within our communities and how much money did they racially suck/leech and harrass people's lives and call them liars on national and International tv. Seems the conspiracy theorist and minorities are telling it "how it is" whether in their neighborhood or not.' Either way, reform, reform, and phych testing and training for the "chip on the shoulder chumps" hiding behind the blue justice system.

Just like Equomo Lightfeather spoke on. The injustice has the people marching peacefully, but in every nation there are always quiet riots brewing." Injustice and murder will do it everytime.:wacko:'s in charge must be fired to make an example. They had no fear of accountabilty.
