BREAKING: Ferguson Police Chief Resigns After Holdcer Accuses Him Of Running Racist Police Force…

(CNN)Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson will resign on Wednesday, a source in the Ferguson, Missouri, City Hall told CNN.

In the past, the police chief has said he’d considered resigning, but stayed put up to now.

Ferguson City Manager John Shaw stepped down Tuesday, following a scathing Department of Justice report that exposed problems in the city’s policing tactics. The report mentioned both men by name.

Jackson did not respond Wednesday to repeated requests from CNN for comment.

The Justice Department’s report faulted Ferguson’s officers for seeing residents as “sources of revenue,” a practice that disproportionately targeted African-Americans.

The investigators also found evidence of racist jokes being sent around by Ferguson police and court officials.

Two police officers resigned last week and the city’s top court clerk was fired in connection with racist emails, city spokesman Jeff Small said on Friday.
