Explain to me what is ridiculous about pointing out that there is an established pattern of racial bias in Ferguson. Do you dispute it? Do you think it's not true?

I think that much of what is in that DOJ report is BS. The mayor of Ferguson totally disputes the findings in the DOJ report. What is amazing is that the DOJ didn't learn their lesson from the Brown case. As we saw in the Brown case, you can't rely on unverified anecdotes. Yet much of the DOJ report was based on unverified anecdotes where they didn't even bother to interview witnesses that would totally contradict these alleged claims.

For example, "the DOJ condemns the arrest of a “kid at the school” without mentioning the delinquent in question had pushed a pregnant, African-American principal to the ground in the middle of a fight. The principal of the school is furious right now, that it was portrayed that way.”

The Hoover Institute (at Stanford University), which is one of the top think tanks in the United States, blasted Holder and the Justice Department with regard to Ferguson. I'm sure one of you will try to give me some BS that the Hoover Institution is conservative. That is total nonsense. They have both liberal and conservative professors. It is at Stanford University which is pretty liberal. The institution has provided consultation, research, and personnel for most presidential administrations, Democratic and Republican, in the last few decades.
