Outstanding warrants outnumber residents in Ferguson, Missouri nearly two-to-one, a new report has revealed.
The St. Louis suburb, where unarmed black teen Michael Brown was shot dead August 9 by white police officer Darren Wilson, has just over 21,000 residents and had more than 40,000 arrest warrants as of June 2013, according to ArchCity Defenders, a local advocacy group.
The town's aggressive policing strategies and difficult to navigate court system generated $2,635,400 in fine revenue for the small town in 2013. Court fines are Ferguson's second-largest source of revenue, according to the Daily Beast.
"The City of Ferguson has more warrants than residents," reads a letter from ArchCity Defenders to Ferguson mayor James Knowles. "Most of these warrants are from unpaid fines for nonviolent offenses.

It's now obvious to me that Ferguson is being run like a full scale balls to the wall Police state.

I just looked it up for the county I live in.
They have about the same number of outstanding warrants as Ferguson, 40,000. The difference being the population is 400,000 compared to 21,000 for Ferguson. So Ferguson has approximately 20 times as many outstanding warrants per capita as Mobile County Alabama.
FYI, Mobile county is 60% white, 35% black, and 5% other.

So, we have two numbers here: 16,000 people and 40,000 arrest warrants. This means that the average number of warrants per person is 2.5. This is truly "staggering"!
I really hope these senior police and court officers aren't allowed to quietly fade into the background as Wilson has. They need to do some time.

This sentence from the HuffPo article says it all.
"There are no more laws, there are only police."
This is the world Zeke wants to live in.

Just curious...I'm assuming that you're similarly miffed that AIM hasn't been appropriately policed since Dennis Banks and his underlings ordered the murder of Anna Mae Aquash, 40 years ago. I am assuming this...all I really need from you is..."Yes Ike, I'm equally miffed." And...if not, why not?

Ike Ike Ike. Zeke hates poor people who don't do right and live 'disgusting' lives. He calls them 'animals.' What ever made you think he'd like AIM?
