2 of 5 Justice department to fault Ferguson police, seeing racial bias in traffic stops

The Justice Department has almost completed a critical report against Ferguson police saying that years of bias and discriminatory traffic stops of African Americans created the built up anger and racial tension that lead to the shooting of the black teenager. The protests and violence after that shooting were so extreme I find it hard to believe that it was built up by simple traffic stops. However, for the people living in Ferguson that cant pay traffic tickets, traffic stops may become routine which could build up the anger. This sort of topic is one that reminds me of the assembly With Mr. Gees views versus Mr. Hilincks views on whether or not to voice opinions with more force or wait patiently for things to resolve.
