Our @washingtonpost team's latest.Darren Wilson first PD so bad it had to disband. Lost his job, headed to Ferguson http://buff.ly/1mBNP5q
____ After going through the police academy, Wilson landed a job in 2009 as a rookie officer in Jennings, a small, struggling city of 14,000 where 89 percent of the residents were African American and poverty rates were high. At the time, the 45-employee police unit had one or two black members on the force, said Allan Stichnote, a white Jennings City Council member.
Racial tension was endemic in Jennings, said Rodney Epps, an African American city council member.
“You’re dealing with white cops, and they don’t know how to address black people,” Epps said. “The straw that broke the camel’s back, an officer shot at a female. She was stopped for a traffic violation. She had a child in the back of the car and was probably worried about getting locked up. And this officer chased her down Highway 70, past city limits, and took a shot at her. Just ridiculous.”
Police faced a series of lawsuits for using unnecessary force, Stichnote said. One black resident, Cassandra Fuller, sued the department claiming a white Jennings police officer beat her in June 2009 on her own porch after she made a joke . . .
The Jennings department also had a corruption problem. A joint federal and local investigation discovered that a lieutenant had been accepting federal funds for drunken-driving checks that never happened.
All the problems became too much for the city council to bear, and in March 2011 the council voted 6-to-1 to shut down the department and hire St. Louis County to run its police services, putting Lt. Jeff Fuesting in charge as commander . . .

Ferguson Shooting Case: Michael Brown Grand Jury Is 9 White, 3 Black Members
The panel of seven men and five women will decide whether or not Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson will be charged
The race and gender of the St. Louis Grand Jury who will decide if an indictment should be handed down in the Michael Brown shooting case has been revealed. The panel of 12 jurors will be made up of 9 white members and 3 black, the St. Louis County Circuit Court disclosed on Friday.
One black man, two black women, six white men and three white women will decide whether Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson will be charged in the shooting death of Brown, an unarmed black teenager.
According to the Post-Dispatch, the the demographics roughly reflect the population of St. Louis, which is 64 white and 24 percent black.
Brown's death has sparked a national controversy and daily protests in the town of Ferguson, MO. Wilson has thus far not been charged with any crime, while calls by Ferguson residents for state Governor Jay Nixon to appoint a special prosecutor to the case has gone unheeded.
The FBI has opened its own parallel civil rights investigation.
Ferguson's Mike Brown Memorial Campaign Has Raised Less Than Officer Darren Wilson's GoFundMe

In dueling crowdfunding campaigns, Wilson has raised more cash while more people support Brown's page
A GoFundMe campaign to support the police officer who shot and killed unarmed teenager Michael Brown has thus far outgrossed a dueling campaign soliciting funds for Brown's family in their quest for justice.
One campaign, titled Michael Brown Memorial Fund, has raised $130,842 over the course of 8 days. The Support Officer Darren Wilson campaign, meanwhile, has already raised $151,257 after being online for 3 days.
Wilson shot and killed Brown on Saturday, Aug 9. The shooting has led to widespread unrest in the community of Ferguson, MO, which has been the scene of daily protests and clashes with law enforcement for over a week. The focus of national attention and renewed debate over racial tensions in America, the conflict has drawn the attention of the media and attorney general Eric Holder who visited the besieged town on Wednesday.
Brown's memorial campaign, which “will assist his family with costs that they will acquire as they seek justice on Michael's behalf,” is backed by Adner Marcelin, who is the assistant of Benjamin Crump, the Brown family's attorney. The page states none of the funds will go towards legal fees.
Requests for more information on the creators of the Wilson campaign, listing only an anonymous moniker of “Stand Up,” have not yet been answered.
While Wilson's campaign has raised more funds than Brown's, more individual donors have contributed to the latter. Brown's donors have given an average of $27.37 each, while the average Wilson donor each gave $40.21.
