I've looked over the report, and the only thing I can say on it is that it has no basis in reality, it simply makes narrative-supporting statements and uses disingenuous context-removed statistics to support those statements.
I'd encourage everyone to look into the details, and verify them with reason, instead of wholly accepting the government's and media's narrative and spin.
For example, the report and media claim this:
"Ferguson an apartheid police state: 3 out of 4 residents have open arrest warrants"
Except it seems like the majority of those arrest warrants are for people who where highway driving passing though Ferguson, do not live in the Ferguson municipality, are from a greater area with a much much larger population, and a few of them forgot to show up or pay the fine. So they got a bench warrant (which do not expire).
So this headline might be a blatant lie.
