Ummmm this guy Jackson, the so called "Police Chief" has to go, or things will never get better.

I'm not talking about the next few days. I'm talking about the the future Ferguson.

How can this community ever have any healing if the guy that has been in charge of inciting the looting, gassing peaceful protestors, the media, stays in charge?

People don't just forget.

How can any black officer in the Ferguson wake up and PROUDLY serve under this guy's leadership???

How can anyone in the community feel safe dealing with the cops in Ferguson, by that I mean, knowing that if the officer does any wrong, you'll be CRUCIFIED personally to the point you will never get a fair shake??



How can anyone in the community, black or white, TRUST a police chief who says one thing the does another, releases information the way he has, and now know that under any circumstances he will defend his officers, over the rights of the people he was SWORN IN TO SERVE. I think they forget they are he to SERVE not dictate and prod.




WHEN ARE WE GOING TO SEE CALLS FOR THIS GUYS RESIGNATION!?!?!

Of course he had one of them arrested...and we have no idea the size of corruption in that PD...but it seems to be from the ground up.
