Chris Matthews was interviewing the Mayor of Ferguson, who seems like a nice guy but sort of disconnected from it all. Matthews was sort of trying to probe him about what was going on in his town and his response was to the effect that "people move in and out too much." Which I did not understand but maybe he meant that people in Brown's part of town move there because they simply are too poor to live anywhere else, and simply move on once they can escape to a better place or worse have to move on if they cannot afford Ferguson.

So if the Mayor was saying people move around too much maybe the police see that part of town the same way: as sort of transient (not in the homeless sense but more of a Motel 8 sense...people living by the week instead renting apartments by the month on a normal lease). But the Mayor said those words: that people move in and out too much. I am speculating but it struck me how odd that the Mayor would say that.

So there cannot be a big connection there....I wonder how much of America is like that. Pockets of poor areas that have nothing in common with the city they technically belong too.
