Of course this is an attempt to shame Ferguson, MO where the violent giant was gunned down in self defense as he tried to kill a police officer. Surely you remember.
The report says they hand out tickets to increase revenue. No kidding. This has been going on since I was driving and it likely goes on in every state in the union. It didn't start the day I got behind the wheel.
It seems like that nasty, ol' federal judge agreed with the DOJ.
true. it's everywhere, but since the doj and fbi got involved, they had to show something negative. they put some of the random e-mails from the past, in stl. post dispatch and showed more black arrests and tickets. ferguson is 90% black. police don't leave their jurisdiction just to go find some "non-blacks".
plus, about THE CASE, if that means anything, they have additional witnesses and recants from "LYING" witnesses, verifying further, that darren is innocent and truthful.
the tickets and "profiling" goes with the precinct, neighborhoods, "hot spots", areas, 911 calls and reports. if folks didn't drive stolen cars, have wrong plates, no plates, stolen plates, traffic violations, bulbs, seatbelts, etc, etc. follow the law and you won't get a ticket, don't act "suspicious" and you won't be pulled over. don't "drive dirty" and you won't have to fight or run. it's not complicated - atrol:
Just curious. Is this why you say you're an ex cop? Were you released from the Seattle PD?
lain: Either that or a Building Inspector.
If anyone cares to read the report which (Morpheus linked to) the population of Ferguson is 67% black, not "90% black".
The racial portion of the report is only one section in the overall report.
You DID read the report, right?
The report is not about Darren Wilson, it's about how the police and courts operate in Ferguson.
The report cites many, many examples of people being arrested for non-criminal things, like talking back to officers (with or without profanity) using the middle finger gesture, having burnt out tail lights, for wanting to videotape their encounter with police, etc.
You libertarian.
You libertarian.
Morphie, this thread is about big government liberals that control traffic for the purpose of padding the pocket books. If you want to debate the violent giant, go to the other thread about the lie "hands up don't shoot".
You libertarian.
Get it right Nick, Tom0 is a "minarchist", but he just doesn't like talking about it.

Tell us why the Ferguson PO-leece* Dept. should be hung out to dry
They hire people like you? :think:
(And people wonder why I mock Libertarians...they're pretty much brain dead).
Trust me....Nobody wonders (or cares) anything about why you do what you do. :chuckle:
In some circles Tom your brilliant posts would be deemed "unnecessarily disruptive" or "derailing a thread".
I know it's asking a lot Tom, but would you care to contribute to the subject matter or are you just going to be a creepy stalker?
Regarding writing tickets for traffic violations: Does Ferguson MO not have a court system where the accused can take the case before a magistrate if they were wrongfully accused?
