Ferguson Report

The Ferguson Report is a detailed investigation conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice in 2015 into the patterns of policing and racial bias in Ferguson, Missouri, after the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown. It revealed systemic issues like excessive use of force, racial disparities in arrests, and a tendency to prioritize revenue through fines over public safety. The report recommended reforms to improve policing practices, increase transparency, and foster trust between law enforcement and communities. It aims to address underlying problems and promote fairer, more equitable policing.
