I heard a report ( PBS News Hour today) that arresting people of color was a money maker for the city. (Arrest fees) Second to sales taxes. WTF's up with that?

When 67% of your population is black, most of your arrests and citations are likely to be black. What is interesting is that (via article) a significant portion, "more than any other charge," of fines collected are for failure to appear. That's on the defendant, not The System.

I await the [lack of] fallout.

When 67% of your population is black, one would expect that most of your Police Officers are likely to be black.

Now, anyone out there happen to know what that percentage of black officers in Ferguson is?

Is a dearth (previously mentioned in press) of qualified black applicants in Ferguson, MO, even a debatable issue?

There's there's more to the DOJ report than just that Zeke...and you know it. There's also the parts about the Ferguson PD procedures employed when they're doing the 95% of the arrests of 67% of the population.
