Because I am primarily interested in conservative reactions, I am going to make a simple request: if you are more liberal than me (if you have to ask, you are), please PM me for permission before you post in this thread.
The writer argues that the Ferguson Police department (1) acts primarily as a revenue generation machine for the city, complete with ticket quotas (and, oddly enough, a pattern of tickets of those with virtually any city hall connections being dismissed), (2) habitually uses excessive force, (3) doesn't have reasonable oversight policies with respect to monitoring excessive force use, and doesn't implement even what it has, (4) makes arrests for what this author calls "contempt of cop," and (5) demonstrates a racial bias in virtually everything it does. These are all things, in the author's view, conservatives should be outraged about. Do you, o TWeb conservatives, agree?
