Ferguson, a city of 21,000, is about 70 percent black. Its 53-member police department has just three black officers. The mayor and five of the six City Council members are white.

A 2013 report by the Missouri attorney general's office found that Ferguson police stopped and arrested black drivers nearly twice as often as white motorists, but were less likely to find contraband among the black drivers.

what's the issue here ? seems proportional to me.

The mayor and five of the six City Council members are white.

Who voted them into office?

Actually whites were being stopped at a higher rate. Probably because they actually pay their tickets.
