What do ya mean? Ferguson is for all intents is part of St. Louis, look at the map. It's simply a suburb with an imaginary line separating it from a major city, St. Louis. Like LA is to Long Beach, Yonkers to NY.
BTW, small town law enforcement agencies are some of the most corrupt in the country.
What I mean is that Steyn was griping in his article about small town cops who were bullys...and it is unfair to compare that type of policing that has to be done in an urban population.
