Mob rule will be the order of the day.

Town officials in Ferguson, Mo., have moved to create a civilian group to monitor cops there, who have come under fire since the killing of a black teenager on Aug. 9.
The Ferguson City Council on Monday said the proposed Citizen Review Board would be made up of locals not connected to the police or government, and would work with city officials to oversee and improve the much-maligned department.[…]
The proposal of the all-civilian board comes days after the U.S. Department of Justice confirmed it launched a civil rights investigation into Ferguson police in order to suss out whether cops “engaged in a pattern or practice of violations of the U.S. Constitution or federal law.”[…]
In addition to the proposed watchdog group, Ferguson officials Monday moved to make other reforms to the town’s justice procedures, including a measure that would limit the amount of revenue the city receives from its courts.
They also said they’d waive a fine levied against defendants who don’t show up to scheduled court dates.
