Talks to reform Ferguson, Missouri police make progress - U.S. Justice Dept

Ferguson Mayor James Knowles III did not immediately respond to a request for comment. However, he told the New York Times that the two sides are "very close" to a deal, and that "small sticking points" remained.

Citing officials, the newspaper said the agreement, which would be filed in federal court, would require new training for police officers and improved record keeping, along with a federal monitor.







So, in this agreement , James Knowles III , the mayor who signed off on robbing all those blacks blind and the ones that couldn't pay ,throw them into jail , is still mayor. And the cops that obeyed his orders are still cops there.


And there's no mention of returning the (black !) public's property that was taken from them, forgiving them the fines that were dished out from cops of dubious repute (they forgave any interest not already paid, but they didn't return any interest that was paid) any property that was confiscated was never returned, and anyone who was shot and killed was not ... ressurected , so to speak.


Basically , the Justice Department agreed that mayor James Knowles III could do whatever the heck he wanted and too bad so sad if your ass is black.


Welcome to Justice in America.
