I'm not sure, but was there a leap here from the number of arrest warrants issued, to the number of Ferguson residents that have arrest warrants against them? Perhaps most of those warrants are for people not living in Ferguson? (Might be living in nearby areas, or that were passing through?)
Not that this detracts from the shock. Even if it's mostly warrants of people passing through the town, that is horrifying.

Must make it easier to get people to not vote... (I know, link goes to an old story, but it happens every presidential election)
I do have to wonder how representative Fergusin's leadership is of its electorate.
Unbelievable, absolutely disgraceful, I have no words. The entire justice system of Ferguson should be closed down with immediate effect, as it appears corrupt & racist from the police on the street through to the courts.
I can't imagine living like that. Trapped in a prison with invisible walls.
The DoJ report is significantly better reading than this low-quality article http://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/opa/press-release...
Maybe this should be submitted instead of the linked article? (March 4, 2015)
