Ferguson, Mo. • Ferguson city leaders urged people to stay home after dark Tuesday to "allow peace to settle in" and pledged to try to improve the police force in the St. Louis suburb where the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown has sparked nightly clashes between protesters and police.
In a public statement, the city said the mayor, the City Council and employees have been exploring ways to increase the number of African-American applicants to the law enforcement academy, develop incentive programs to encourage city residency for police officers and raise money for cameras that would be attached to patrol car dashboards and officers’ vests....

I suspect the last house has already been sold through the traditional process in Ferguson; from the demographics, it looks like anything going forward will be foreclosures, abandonments/tax liens, etc.

Officer thug
Seek greater number of black applicants to police academy
We can all see the benefits of Affirmative action simply by analysis of our Affirmative action president’s stellar performance based solely upon his race.
We have a winner. That will do more good than any training/indoctrination/procedure manual etc.

"...an effort to attract more black lawmen and women to Ferguson couldn’t hurt...."
I respectfully disagree. It is a race to the bottom as far as standards go.
It is an absolute that to be more "inclusive" involves gutting our standards and settling for something inferior.
That hurts us all.
There are always going to be some deadbeats. But our government economic policies have thrown a lot of people out of work and onto the unemployment rolls. It’s not right to give up on them.
They destroy the only source of jobs in their “community”.
Why do you think black lawmen and women would be “inferior,” noob?
Another same-day sign-up. Trolls get so boring.
I never said that, and others made far stronger statements to that effect on this thread, and my sign up date is immaterial.
If you want to disuss cold hard facts though, I am all ears.
Not here, it isn't.
