What about Creve Couer? Higher income area in West St. louis County, 3 thousand less people and almost 2 thousand more tickets than Ferguson.
St. ANN Probably double, if not triple the tickets of Ferguson, and 9 thousand less residents.

This is about Courts trying to make up for lost taxes, and targeting the poor and lower middle is how to do it. Also some cities trying to survive, before it turns into a slum, because of Flight.

It's retarded to associate bench warrants with race. The court issues a bench warrant for anyone who skips court, regardless of race or the charge.

With it starting to warm up, NoRth St.Louis(city) and the homicide rate will be sky rocketing. I think we will break the old record, and if i could get a line, i'd bet it.

Isn't North St. Louis pretty abandoned. I always amazes me how these areas with large abandonment have huge homicide numbers.

I always laugh at the Alderman who's district is half abandoned buildings. Such a waste of cash.

issued 32,975 arrest warrants for nonviolent offenses, mostly driving violations.

Perhaps these folks should have paid their tickets.

Why don't they ever put their kids in car seats?

Translation: Ask me nicely and I'll drop the charges, be a dick then take your chances in court.

Fed. census stats: 11% of population are African-Americans. Fed. crime stats: African-Americans commit 35%+ in each of the major crime categories. 67% of the population in Ferguson are African-American. The Ferguson African-American population is 6 times the nation average. Just for kicks and giggles 6 X 35 = African-Americans commit 210% of the crimes. OK, OK, I know the the thinking is all wrong but you do the math. It would appear the P.D. records aren't very far out of line.

I'd like to see the B.R.P.D. records.

The criminal activity of one individual brought attention to the city. The officer involved was exonerated by the D.O.J. ... BUT Eric Holder had to give the citizens something so he exposed the underbelly of the department. BOOM! There it is. Plenty of reason for the population, previously kept civil, to change the entire city leadership. If history repeats itself stepdad will get his way. Although they may not use fire they will take that bitch down - another mini-Somalia.

In all honesty, outsiders have destroyed it.

The irresponsible American media can motivate a herd of incredibly stupid people to burn down your street and destroy your home town in a matter of weeks.

Krotz Springs must be next up.
