Why on earth do people do this type stuff and leave a "paper trail"? It's the epitome of arrogance.

The town has a 70% black population, yet the PD is 95% white.
Is it racial hiring practices ? Are blacks not applying ? -

Well, exactly. So what do you do ?
You can't "sensitivity train" that kind of disparity away. -
The numbers Bro. Curtis shared are just astounding. How does that happen?
Concerning some solutions
Saw an interview with the chief of police for Baltimore. One of the things he talked about was returning to this idea of community policing. Where the police officers actually lived in the communities where they policed. Less car patrol and more foot patrol. More positive community involvement (think little league, soap box derby type of thing) instead of only showing up when the somebody needs to be arrested. -

Sorry for not sourcing it. -

Ferguson is a bad example of a community with mutual (but legitimate) distrust of the police and the populace. -

Holder was going to find something no matter what. They were going to dig under every nook and cranny in order to save face. This is a non issue.

Justice Department finds racial bias in Ferguson police practices
Just to be clear, who runs the Justice Department?
Smells of politics... -

And Eric Holder's justice department is a complete joke, I get that. But you don't NEED a report when you see the numbers. The police force is not representative of the community. Just about every instance of police & civilian interaction will be black man, white cop. -
