U.S. Justice Department Finds Systemic Discrimination In Ferguson Missouri
Topic: Racism
The U.S. Justice Department recently found that Ferguson, Missouri's police department and municipal court have engaged in a pattern-and-practice of unfairly targeting African-Americans for financial gain. The city used mass scale racial profiling to raise revenue. 85% of vehicle stops were of African-Americans, 90% of citations went to African-Americans, and 93% of arrests were of African-Americans. The police were encouraged to meet quotas for citations, and most of these citations went to Blacks.
The city of Ferguson, and the racists running it, have been illegally using the legal system to essentially extort the Black community for years! Racially based arrests, violence and incarceration, all perpetrated within a paradigm of racially disparate treatment and White supremacy to fill goverment accounts while simultaneously filling jail cells. Let it be said that Ferguson is just one racist governmental operation that was uncovered. How many more such cities have yet to be found out???
