Quote:
Municipal and township police departments employed an average of 2.3 full-time officers per 1,000 residents. About half of local police departments employed fewer than 10 sworn personnel, and about three-fourths served a population of less than 10,000.

So according to the above, there are more cops in Ferguson than average. Wonder why? More collectors would be my guess and why not, if it was a revenue generating setup. The chief of police and the mayor should be prosecuted.
