In a perfect world, blacks in Ferguson would be getting 67% of the tickets, right? Is 15% more of the tickets such a gross racial pogrom?
As is obvious to anyone with half a brain, and as the statistics I posted further illustrate, crimes committed are not proportional to the racial distribution of the population. It follows that tickets (or arrests) for crimes are also not proportional to the racial distribution of the population.

Now, re: the Ferguson police force, I agree that more should be done to ensure that the racial makeup of the force is more representative of the community. There is an obvious disparity in Ferguson.

Have you seen any stats on how many (if any) blacks have applied to be police officers in Ferguson?

Maybe we're saying the same thing. If all crimes were proportional to race, Ferguson blacks would be getting 67% of the tickets, therefore when Ferguson blacks get 82%, it's not the statistical big deal some would see.

That's where there's a bone of contention. One can conclude:
1) Blacks commit more crimes per capita,
2) Police fixate on catching blacks instead of whites,
3) Blacks are not lucky,smart/rich enough to get away with their crimes,
4) Greater percentage of blacks are lower class, and lower class people are more likely to be criminal,
5) All of these and probably many others.
