1. Ferguson's only homicide is a White on Black Crime

Ooopsie daisy.

Needless to say, Wilson will never be charged, so we'll get pouters here saying "It's not a CRIIIIIIIIMMMMMMEEEEE. We need more evidence...."

4. So help me out here

In looking at the chart at the link, it appears that there isn't much crime, relatively speaking (1216 crimes in 2010).

But this link says that in 2013 alone, over 24,000 arrest warrants were issued?

How do those 2 items reconcile?

5. They don't.

Now you're getting the point.

6. So this is wildly wrong?

“Despite Ferguson’s relative poverty, fines and court fees comprise the second largest source of revenue for the city, a total of 2,635,400,” according to the ArchCity Defenders report. And in 2013, the Ferguson Municipal Court issued 24,532 arrest warrants and 12,018 cases, “or about 3 warrants and 1.5 cases per household.”

7. No, what's wildly wrong is them issuing all these citations

mainly to African Americans.

8. But it says 24K ARREST WARRANTS

What are they all for?

Nevermind...see they are traffic violations of some sort. Wow.

9. What are they for?

Money and power.
