Institutional Racism: Perspectives on the Department of Justice\u27s Investigation of the Ferguson Police Department.
No full textOn August 9, 2014, Michael Brown, an 18-year old Black man, was fatally shot by Darren Wilson, a white policeman with the Ferguson Police Department. The incident sparked protests and acts of vandalism in Ferguson as well as widespread calls for an investigation into the incident. On September 3, 2014, The Justice Department announced that it would open a broad civil rights investigation that would examine whether the Ferguson police had a history of discrimination or misuse of force beyond the Michael Brown case. On March 4. 2015, Attorney General Eric H. Holder publicly criticized the Ferguson Police Department for implicit and explicit racial bias and routinely violating the constitutional rights of its black residents. In the wake of this public criticism as well as specific events detailed in the 105-page report released by the Department of Justice, 1 examined qualitative perspectives offered by respondents on The Huffington Post website. Qualitative analysis of the findings revealed the following themes: Theme 1: High Regard for Members of Law Enforcement: Theme 2: Disgust for Police and Government within Ferguson; Theme 3: Disregard for DOJ and its Report on Ferguson; Theme 4: Trust in DOJ Report on Ferguson: Theme 5: Police Corruption Extends beyond Ferguson; Theme 6: No Hope in Systemic Change for Ferguson; and Theme 7: Recommendations for Change in Ferguson. In general, while a few individuals had high regard for members of law enforcement or were skeptical of the Justice Department\u27s Report on Ferguson, the overwhelming majority of respondents believed the report was valid

Despite signs of less punitive policing and incarceration policies, 2014 will be remembered for Michael Brown and Eric Garner
No full textThis year saw the trend away from mass incarceration continue and signs of what might be the emergence of an end to the ‘War on Drugs’. In his review of the year in criminal justice and policing policy, Tim Newburn writes that while there have been some encouraging signs of a less punitive and exclusionary means of dealing with crime, the killings of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri and Eric Garner in New York by police, and the protests that followed, are likely to be the most memorable events of 2014

The Ferguson report Department of Justice investigation of the Ferguson Police Department
No full text"On August 9, 2014, Michael Brown, an unarmed African American high school senior, was shot by Officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri. For months afterward, protestors took to the streets demanding justice, testifying to the racist and exploitative police department and court system, and connecting the shooting of Brown with the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, and other young black men at the hands of police across the country. In the wake of these protests, the Department of Justice launched a six-month investigation, resulting in a report that Colorlines characterizes as "so caustic it reads like an Onion article" and laying bare what the Huffington Post calls "a totalizing police regime beyond any of Kafka's ghastliest nightmares." Among the report's findings are that the Ferguson Police Department "Engages in a Pattern of Unconstitutional Stops and Arrests in Violation of the Fourth Amendment," "Detain[s] People Without Reasonable Suspicion and Arrest[s] People Without Probable Cause," "Engages in a Pattern of First Amendment Violations," "Engages in a Pattern of Excessive Force," and "Erode[s] Community Trust, Especially Among Ferguson's African-American Residents." Contextualized here in a substantial introduction by renowned legal scholar and former NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund president Theodore M. Shaw, The Ferguson Report is a sad, sobering, and important document, providing a snapshot of American law enforcement at the start of the twenty-first century, with resonance far beyond one small town in Missouri"..
