Similar Stories to 8 Horrifying Revelations In The Justice Department’s Ferguson Report on Bing News

The Justice Department released its full report on the Ferguson Police Department on Wednesday, seven months after Officer Darren Wilson shot and killed unarmed African American teen Michael Brown -- an event which galvanized demonstrators against racial bias in policing and triggered the Justice Department's probe. Though a grand jury decided not to indict Wilson and the Justice Department opted not to bring federal civil rights charges in the case, the department's report makes clear that Wilson was part of a local law enforcement system tainted by racial bias, abuses of citizens' constitutional rights, excessive use of force, and an over-reliance on fines and fees to generate revenue.Such systemic injustices poisoned police-community relations in Ferguson, where 67 percent of the population is African American but the police force is 94 percent white.
