Fired Ferguson court clerk now working in another nearby court

ST. LOUIS COUNTY • The Ferguson court clerk who was fired over racist emails that surfaced during the Justice Department investigation now has a job with another north St. Louis County municipal court.

Snip:
In their March 4 report, civil rights investigators called the emails “unequivocally derogatory, dehumanizing, and demonstrative of impermissible bias.”

Among them was a Dec. 6, 2011 forward from Twitty to Mudd and Henke of "insensitive one liners" that referenced a Muslim clothing store, floods in Pakistan and pedophilia. There was also a June 7, 2011 email from Mudd to Twitty that made cracks about welfare recipients being unemployed, unable to speak English, lazy and having no "clue who their daddies are."

Twitty also sent Mudd an October 2011 email that included a photo of a bare-chested group of dancing women, apparently in Africa, with the caption, “Michelle Obama’s High School Reunion." In April 2011, she sent both Mudd and Henke a photo that depicted the president as a chimpanzee.

For many, Twitty became the face of all that was wrong with Ferguson's municipal court operations — and unflattering distinction she shared with former Judge Ronald Brockmeyer, who also resigned in the wake of the DOJ report. Prosecutor Stephanie Karr, of the Curtis Heinz law firm, was the only one of the three who emerged unscathed, although her actions were also criticized in the report.

Snip:
A team sent by the Missouri Supreme Court to overhaul Ferguson's court noted many problems were solved simply with the departures of Twitty and Brockmeyer.

1. Ferguson has always been one of the creepiest places I have ever been.

The opinion of Ferguson Police, City Hall, Court was in the pits many years ago even from my POS Republican brother in law who lived in an all white neighborhood.
