What does the author of this piece mean by "disenfranchisement?" That minorities were forcibly kept from the voting booths?
Criticism from Barack Obama [...] prompted Democratic state governor Jay Nixon to put Ron Johnson, a savvy African American captain of the highway patrol, a separate police force, in charge of Ferguson. It worked. [...] But trouble resumed on Friday night [...]
So the fact that the local police force is 94% White wasn't a factor after all! Imagine that!
[...] when a small group broke away from a peaceful crowd to smash windows, throw bottles and loot the store Brown allegedly robbed, although it was a relatively minor confrontation.
I bet that the shop-owner wouldn't have characterized that as "relatively minor!"
Ferguson’s mayor, James Knowles, who is also white, defended his police officers — the ones who waded in looking like Robocop on steroids.
Nice "fair" reporting, there!
Summa summarum: This article is extremely biased, fails to report on crucial facts, and blatantly unobjective by using words like "segregation" without emphasizing that it was voluntary.

The legacy, for the white officers supposed to police it, appears to be a forbidding, alien, territory. A land of the other. It might as well be Fallujah.
Which really set the tone of the article for me. It was easy to see what was coming once I read that line.
Exactly right. And this is exactly how liberals change the narrative from what everyone sees with their own eyes to something completely fabricated to fit their template. This allows the Left to appear morally superior.
This piece is nothing more than dreamy leftist propaganda.
