Correct me if I’m wrong, but I have just been assuming that we’re talking about DEMOCRAT politicians here that control Ferguson, aren’t we? It looks like they were just interested in ripping people off, it didn’t matter what color they were.

"I’m guessing this woman didn’t bother to pay the ticket in the first place which led to her arrest and increase in fines"

You'd be correct.

Unless the woman parked somewhere SERIOUSLY illegally, like in front of a fire station, what could the original fine have possibly been? $50? $100?

She may not have *liked* that fine, but she KEPT getting notices, which she ignored.

And the tickets eventually said "if you don't pay, you'll have a warrant issued."

At that point, any normal person would have done about anything to pay it off.

She didn't.

Oops, the article states the original fine was $151.

So yeah, it must have been "serious".

But $151 is a hell of a lot better than going to jail, TWICE.

The only point of this stupid ongoing propaganda against police is to create a national police force.

Socialist never change....take away guns from citizens and put policing under their control over the whole US....what can we learn from history???? Worked so well for the common citizen in NAZI Germany and the Communist countries around the world and dems blindly follow to their destruction voting for this so they can get some free goodies that keep them at subsistence level at best believing that somehow this will make them safe.

They are voting themselves into slavery.

Really...now it’s the republican’s fault that all their cities are failures. Hey D-bag...anyone with half a brain moved out years ago...and you probably did too and now you’re having a self pity party.

Anybody that didn’t already know that traffic offenses are as much about revenue as saftey, particularly in small towns, just hasn’t been paying attention.

It isn’t a race thing, blacks just don’t know how to jump through the hoops. A good start would be being polite and respectful when you are stopped.

Over the years I must have gotten out of at least 20 tickets for speeding or running a stop sign. Doesn’t always work, of course, but it doesn’t hurt to try.

Ferguson city manager out after Justice Department report

A news release from the city said the Council had reached a "mutual separation agreement"
with Shaw, the city's chief executive, effective immediately. The statement also said
a nationwide search for Shaw's replacement would begin immediately.

Abuses? They have not (to my mind) proven any pattern of abuse outside of what happens to all of us in areas with cash-strapped local governments.
