I admit that I no longer understand the situation in Ferguson at all. This stuff has been going on for like two weeks. The police departments in and around the suburb of Ferguson are clearly rotten. Who has the authority to fire people? Why haven't politicians taken the step of bringing in neutral, nonlocal people to keep an eye on everything during the investigation? Why the fuck is anyone from that police department still on active duty? Some of them are probably great at their jobs but better safe than sorry at this point and it has clearly become personal to many officers ... and police need to be above that sort of thing. Beginning to think the governor of Missouri is an idiot.
