The City Is Already A Mess In Ferguson, MO

No black community in this particular country needs to be policed by a force which greatly outnumbers its ethnic representation.
What black citizen could respect a mess like that?
If there is no respect, how can there be a relationship?
And what are all those white guys going to think when you indicate to them that the black community
it works for is not able or willing to put forth candidates to police itself?
I do admit, however, most black people have a jaundiced view of law enforcement. They are no longer inclined to have an overwhelming desire to want to be a part of it.
One interview of a black reporter yesterday told us that the woman was a lawyer, but had declined
an offer of employment from the Ferguson district attorney because he told her 'you're going to
hear the 'N' word around here,'
To get black people on any force, the departments would have to recruit them. People aren't going
to assume they aren't wasting time in that very long application and training process.
The average black person will assume an all white police force is a bit like IBM etc.- not generally hiring or recruiting black citizens.
Besides, men and women in their own communities are not too anxious to 'stop and frisk' each other for frivolous or invented nonsense.
 Departments couldn't have the same destructive cultures they have if they'd hope to have more black officers.
'Broken Windows' could work in some cases.
However, victims of violent crime are plentiful enough to have departments focus on leaving
the broken window on the bottom of the crime pile, and for a specific group of officers.
