Audit of Ferguson court system proves it's a complete and total disaster after Mike Brown's death

The news from Ferguson, Missouri, just gets worse and worse. You may remember that after the killing of Michael Brown, the Justice Department launched an investigation into the Ferguson Police Department which proved that in “nearly every aspect of Ferguson’s law enforcement system” blacks were impacted severely and disproportionately. This included arrests, jail time, and practices shaped based on revenue needs rather than public safety. And now, the latest news from the beleaguered city comes from a recently released audit which finds that its court system is in “disarray.” The audit was launched in the wake of the protests surrounding Brown’s death....

Murder Rate Spike Could Be 'Ferguson Effect,' DOJ Study Says

The horrific attack at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., has captured the nation's attention, but the great majority of homicides are not due to mass shootings. And in the last year or so, the murder rate has jumped in America's big cities.

"We are in the midst of a very abrupt, precipitous and large crime increase," says Richard Rosenfeld, a respected criminologist at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. He is the author of a study released Wednesday by the Justice Department examining reasons for the increase. Specifically, murder is spiking — in urban areas. Rosenfeld says last year in the country's 56 biggest cities, homicides jumped 17 percent.

"That's a far larger percentage increase than in nearly any other year we've seen over the last couple of decades," Rosenfeld says....
