The municipal court judge in Ferguson, Missouri, on Monday announced sweeping changes to the city's court system, including an order to withdraw all arrest warrants issued in that city before December 31, 2014.

Municipal Court Judge Donald McCullin, who was appointed in June, also changed the conditions for pretrial release. According to a press release put out by Ferguson, all defendants will be given new court dates with alternative penalties like payment plans or community service.

Those caught for minor traffic violations should be less likely to end up behind bars because of McCullin. Under the new policy, they won't be arrested but instead will be released on their own recognizance and given another court date.

These moves come after a year of often emotional protests and an investigation by the U.S. Justice Department after racial tensions exploded over the August 2014 shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown by Officer Darren Wilson, who is white....

I see more looted and burned out businesses and the rest closing up shop due to safety or not being able to afford insurance.

13% of the population dictate to the other 67% what is acceptable and how we must live.

Blacks now have a separate "justice" system and not just in Ferguson.

Wherever they complain about the number of blacks disciplined, punished, arrested and/or convicted the bureaucrats are backing down.

Thanks to the racist Obama justice department it started in the government school system and is now moving through the rest of society.

See:

Black Power - A Done Deal

"It is curious that blacks, the least educated thirteen percent of the population, the least productive, most criminal, and most dependent on governmental charity, should dominate national politics. Yet they do. Virtually everything revolves around what blacks want, demand, do, or can’t do. Their power seems without limit."

"Courses of instruction in the schools, academic rigor, codes of dress, rules regarding unceasing obscenity, all must be set to suit them, as must be examinations for promotion in fire departments, the military, and police forces. Blacks must be admitted to universities for which they are not remotely qualified, where departments of Black Studies must be established to please them. Corporate work forces, federal departments, and elite high-schools must be judged not on whether they perform their functions but on whether they have the right number of blacks."

Yes, the results are rather predictable.

I would not even drive through there. It will be open season on potential victims now that criminals don’t have to worry.

Assuming he follows the Constitution...

Not a very good history on that.

Probably because he has so many of them (warrants) their judges couldn’t hold them all and the fact the police department would have to hire triple the amount of employees to execute the warrants.
