#Ferguson town leadership was running a multi million dollar racketeering & extortion scheme

56. This is exactly what the rich WANT.

The people of nearby communities in St. Louis, especially LaDue - the St. Louis equivalent of Beverly Hills in some aspects - want "the blacks" segregated and controlled by aggressive and racist policing. The makes the blue bloods feel "safe". It's also why many of them did not bat an eyelash when the FPD rolled out the tanks, body armor and sniper rifles during the initial protests last August. These people are disgusting to the core and they honestly do not see anything wrong with it. As far as they're concerned, Ferguson, Jennings, Hazelwood, Normandy and many more are simply outdoor prisons to keep the blacks in poverty and well away from sight. If they need to be "put down", then so be it...

St. Louis is a region that is stewing in racial animosity.

The black population is segregated from the white and there are parts of the region that are 95+% homogeneous for each race. The real crime is in those black neighborhoods that are under white governments and policing and are used as de facto prison labor and cash flow to the local governments. This is a situation that has been going on since the 1960's and is still roiling. I get the feeling that the "plan" to keep this from exploding is to allow little ventings like Ferguson every so often without ever really changing anything but the bare minimum. Its like trying to keep a boiling pot from going over onto the stove by adjusting the burner instead of removing the pot from the heat.

Eventually, that pot is going to boil over and the mess in the aftermath is ALWAYS worse than if you just take the pot off the heat instead...
