You know, I've had a bellyful of journalist who quote statistics and make up the conclusion. Why do you suppose there are so few black police in Ferguson? Could it be they aren't qualified (you have to be a high school graduate)? Perhaps they don't want the job. There could be a thousand other reasons. This puff piece simply cannot be explained as a journalistic effort worthy of denuding the nation's forest. Why would a "real journalist" write such a piece of "I'm-a-victim" crap.

Oh...wait a minute...I think I understand now...

Why do you suppose there are so few black police in Ferguson?

Because most black officers from around the St. Louis area don't want to work in North St. Louis/Ferguson.

It's too dangerous.

most police agencies now require a college degree .

I heard Megyn Kelly last night talking about how whites are privileged .
She had her so called facts like blacks are born into poorer areas 4 times more thanwhites.
Well how about having parents tell their kids to do something with their life instead of blaming others and that stat would exist.

Blacks go to prison more, well how about who commits the crime goes to prison.

Blacks get stopped more, how about if they are breaking traffic laws or acting suspiciously and have been seen doing a drugs deal.

Megyn Kelly might have grown up to a nice mother and father who paid her college and fees , but not all of us have had her nice lifestyle, and many of us have lived in areas she would never dream of visiting let alone life
