Part 7 StLouis has racist tendencies-Ferguson Report

The long awaited DOJ Ferguson Report has been submitted and reveals many things that people living in StLouis with Half-a-Brain have realized for years: 

StLouis has racist tendencies and problems

-will the needed changes come sooner rather than later for the health and well being of our city and as an example to the World?  I seriously doubt as was also stated by  who was just interviewed on



What lessons were learned from ? & discuss new report w/

While reading the StLouis Post Dispatch comments yesterday I realized- there are too many HATERS and that people haven't learned anything yet.

I haven't read the Forward through Ferguson a Path Forward fully yet so I will withhold comment for now.

Here's what some of the local reporters are saying:

  • The Post-Dispatch was given a copy of thereport, titled “Forward through Ferguson, a Path ...
  • Ferguson Commission turns report over to Nixon
    STLtoday.com - 15 hours ago
  • Police kill North County man wanted in fatal shooting of Kentucky state trooper
    STLtoday.com - 11 hours ago
  • Ferguson commission calls for sweeping changes to deal with racial inequity

    KSDK - ‎Sep 14, 2015‎
    The Ferguson commission was established by Nixon in November as anger and protests grew in the months after Michael Brown, 18, was fatally shot by white police officer Darren Wilson.

    StLouis are you being Fair

    The life of MLK was a little before my time on Earth.

    But his message of: fairness for all- still resonates deep down inside me.

    Fair treatment for everyone- Is not a lofty idea-it is the underlying reason that our Forefathers came to America and then revolted against England's unfair treatment.

    The semi famous StLouis blogger Ms Barbara Heiss gets it when she posted:

    Martin Luther King Day 2015 poignant for StL

    Take pause, St Louisans, take pause!

    “…One may well ask, “How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?”  The answer is found in the fact that there are two types of laws: there are just laws, and there are unjust laws.

    I would agree with St Augustine that “An unjust law is no law at all.”

    …A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law, or the law of God.  An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law….” see entire article here> http://www.blog.athomeinstl.com/martin-luther-king-day-2015-poignant-stl/

    Its about fairness to me. 

    "I want a fair shot in my life- so I give a fair shot." Scotty 2015 MLKDay

    Do you give everyone a Fair Shot?  Let me know in the comments or on social media.

    Part 6 Ferguson Decision-Cover Up and Rigged

    Was the Ferguson Grand Jury Proceedings a Cover Up and Rigged- I bet yes.

    #FergusonDecision-the Day the rest of the World learns how dysfunctional the StLouis Region actually is. 

    (Links to the Actual Ferguson Grand Jury Documents at the bottom of the webpage)



     






    About a minute into McCulloughs report on the Case of Darren Wilson I posted this on Twitter:



    I am trusting that the New York Times post of the #FergusonDecision Grand Jury Paperwork are the actual transcripts.

    Part4 Ferguson Stories Tweets Videos from the Locals

    Is it true? I sure hope not, but the Information provided by Anonymous in re to Darren Wilsons KKK ties explains alot to me about how screwed up the system that we the people are told is there to protect us.

    This brings up many questions I have about the hiring of Police Officers by Ferguson Police Department.

    1. Are there background checks done before hiring Officers of the Law?
    2. Are there more KKK members involved in the Ferguson PD?
    # of days that Darren Wilson has remained free : 104
    # of days that Kajieme Powell has been dead : 95
    # of days that Vonderrit Myers Jr. has been dead : 43
