Justice Department To Sue Ferguson Police Department Over Racial Discrimination
The Justice Department is preparing to bring a lawsuit against the Ferguson, Missouri, police department over a pattern of racially discriminatory tactics used by officers, if the police department does not agree to make changes on its own, sources tell CNN…Among the issues expected to be part of the Justice Department’s lawsuit are allegations made in a recent lawsuit filed by a group of low-income people who claimed officers in Ferguson and nearby Jennings targeted minorities with minor traffic infractions and then jailed them when they couldn’t pay fines.
The Justice Department action would ask for court supervision of changes at the Ferguson Police Department to improve how police deal with the minority communities they are supposed to protect.

Both of Darren Wilson’s Police department employers were racists. What a coincidence!
Darren Wilson’s first job was on a troubled police force disbanded by authorities http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/darren-wilsons-first-job-was-on-a-troubled-police-force-disbanded-by-authorities/2014/08/23/1ac796f0-2a45-11e4-8593-da634b334390_story.html

More and more police stations are becoming the target of the DOJ and rightfully so! ;o)) Now if the Pentagon would stop giving them military equipment that would be even better.
