Per RT, Ferguson police force is going to be suspended.

I don't want to spread rumor but I hope it's true.

US Representative Lacy Clay (D) confirmed to Derek Wallbank of Bloomberg News Thursday morning that Missouri Governor Jay Nixon (D), will be pulling county police from their duties in Ferguson;
“The gov. just called me and he’s on his way to St. Louis now to announce he’s taking St. Louis County police out of the situation,” Rep. Clay told Derek Wallbank, a reporter for Bloomberg, early Wednesday.

Any police removal, even if it isn't a complete suspension of all forces, is some improvement. Far from a solution, but these Johnny-come-latelys start small in mollifying public outcry.

1. No.

You are confusing two separate police departments. Ferguson PD appears to be responsible for the young man's murder and coverup. They are not being removed. St Louis County PD was the agency who escalated peaceful demonstrations into violence, and attacked/arrested reporters. They are the PD that are being removed.

2. Shit. I didn't know that. Thank you. I should probably just delete this.

Well, removing county police, however lame that is, is at least removing some police.

Beyond that, this town's mayor needs to be forced into retirement and a special election held.

5. Just edit your OP

It's the Stormtroopers who are being removed.

6. Okay.

3. The article says that. That it is the St. Louis Co. PD who are being removed. Not sure about

the Ferguson PD. The Chief was just on CNN but was pulled off by a uniformed officer who said to him 'we have to go'. He did answer questions for several minutes however.

4. Thanks. Still, as I said, withdrawing some police is some help, even if not the whole solution.

7. Also, sorry to double post after MoRakTah, though I thought I saw nothing here.
