Gee, you mean they haven’t messed it up enough yet? Next phase: Feds dictate ‘changes’ that come from the ‘community’…

Next week, Justice Department lawyers will head to Ferguson, Missouri, to begin discussions about how to reform the city’s embattled police department. Earlier this month, the Justice Department issued a searing 100-page report detailing widespread racial bias within the Ferguson police force, and now the city will be asked to decide whether it wants to reform the existing police department or disband it altogether.
Vanita Gupta was named acting head of the Civil Rights Division at the Justice Department in mid-October, and in the first on-camera interview she’s granted since her appointment, she talked to CBS News about plans for Ferguson.
Gupta, who came to the Civil Rights Division from the ACLU, feels a “great urgency” to get the reforms into place. “[O]nce we issue our findings, we really don’t want to have a system where we know there are unconstitutional practices. We want to be able to reach an agreement to immediately stop them,” she said.
