Ronald Brockmeyer is the Judge Resigns After Being Blasted in Department of Justice Ferguson Report who’s vacated his position at the Ferguson municipal court. Ever since the DOJ issued their scathing report–revealing blatant discrimination, abuse of power, ethics and all around foul play by police and the entire law enforcement system–more ‘authorities’ have been fired, shamed, or taking a swift heave-ho on their own.

“The report also showed that racial prejudice was apparently pervasive in the court system, with black people 68 percent less likely to have their cases dismissed and far more likely to be hit with petty offenses. Brockmeyer was specifically accused in the report of “significantly increasing court collections over the years,” sentencing people to jail for failure to pay a fine and asking for at least one offense against a relative to be dropped.”
