This is tense. This is really -- It's heart breaking. What's happened to the community, and what's happened to the family that's suffering that loss, this is just the worst thing I've ever seen in my career.
It's never been the intention of the Ferguson Police Department or of any police department that I know of to intentionally target individuals because of race. If there is that happening it's a crime and its need to be addressed.
We have to get out in the community. We've got to change our court system and our ticketing system. We have to change our fine system.
