Ferguson and the Justice Department Report

[SteelCurtain]

Personally, I don't find it all that hard to obey the law.
It doesn't matter one whit if they issued lots of citations as long as the citations were true bills.
Break the law - Pay the fine. If you don't like the law, get it changed though political action.
You don't get to go through life giving society's rules the finger..

Okay. So, say you're sitting at the bus stop, doing nothing, and a cop pulls up in his car. He tells you to come over, takes your license, and runs your license for warrants. Okay with that?

How about you and your 3 black friends in a car with the music up loud, and a cop drives up and gives you a citation for public disturbance. No one has complained, which is a pre-requisite for that charge.

How about you finish playing basketball at the park one summer, and you're cooling off in your car, and a cop pulls up, blocks you in, and accuses you of being a pedophile because there are children in the park. He pulls you out of your car and performs a pat down. The officer points his gun at your head and asks to search your car. You refuse, because, you know, constitution. Now the officer arrests you, charges you with resisting arrest, making a false declaration for saying your name is "Mike" instead of "Michael," and 8 other charges including both having and expired driver's license and having no driver's license at the same time.

We're talking about more than just cops writing tickets. They were actively encouraged to write as many citations as possible.
