I don't get it.. a couple days you said this about the DoJ report:
"A biased, embarrassingly poor report at that."
..And now you're defending its findings? So when it fits the narrative that you prefer, the report is good.. but when it outlines the deep racial injustice in Ferguson, the report is garbage.. right?
"Hands up, don't shoot" was essentially squashed back in the fall when the Ferguson prosecutor detailed lack of witness credibility and forensic evidence. The DoJ backed up those findings. It's not a revelation.

I am talking about the Grand Jury facts.
That Hands up don't shoot nonsense has been disproved long ago, except by
groups of people who want reality to conform to their own biases.
The DOJ hit piece on Ferguson is the BS one I referred to the other day.
That one did not clear the cop- he was already cleared.
DOJ did a report based on a bias and even then could not prove it.

It is to many of the idiots still protesting in Ferguson. It was to the guy who shot those cops in NYC. A certain group of people are not the brightest bulbs on the Christmas tree.

Appropriate response when your city is under siege by animals.
Street vermin. Obama's possible kids.
Clubs and bullets are the only sensible reply to rioting and looting.

Ignoring the point being made, as usual.

Have you any idea how many small towns in this country would be bankrupt were it not for revenue from traffic fines, court costs, etc.? You know how many of those have had citizen uprisings against the police?
Yes, it is a big problem and a perversion of justice. But there is no evidence that it was an immediate cause of the violence in Ferguson. It was a rationalization after the fact. It was gas on the fire.

You put the totally irrelevant cartoon in your post.
If it was supposed to be a serious post, you could have fooled me.
If all the people in Ferguson were like that thug who got his by walking inthe middle of the street, then I would continue to "tax" thier asses.
But isn't the REAL point here that the people there live like they do by choice?
They have the right to vote and elect their own leaders and refuse to get up off their arses and do so. People like that deserved to taken advantage of.
I would hand out even more tickets....the ignorant are ripe for the picking.

I do not understand your point - you break the law and go to jail because no money for bail is a TAX?

When around 95% of those stopped by police are black - and stopped for the most trivial things -
you have to ask a few questions, don't you think?

They are targeting blacks, while turning a blind eye to whitey.
Happens all the time in this country, not just in Ferguson.
Unless a Highway Patrol cop has to make his monthly quota,
you're going to get a warning - if you're white, and have nothing outstanding.
Not so with blacks and hispanics - at least to the same degree.
It's racial discrimination, and it targets lower income groups.
