[h=1]New St. Louis Prosecutor Fires Attorney Who Didn't Get Indictment in Michael Brown Shooting[/h]

There’s a new prosecutor in town and he’s already shaking things up in St. Louis County.

Former Ferguson councilman Wesley Bell, who defeated Democrat Robert McCulloch in the Prosecuting Attorney election by a considerable margin last year after vowing to “fundamentally change the culture,” fired veteran assistant prosecutor Kathi Alizadeh on his second day in office, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. McCulloch, who was head prosecutor since 1991, drew national scrutiny for his handling of the Darren Wilson–Michael Brown case.

The ex-cop Wilson shot and killed Brown in 2014, sparking intense racial unrest. When McCulloch announced that a grand jury would not indict Wilson on murder or involuntary manslaughter charges, violence and protests erupted in the streets of Ferguson.

“As tragic as this is, it was a not a crime,” McCulloch said at the time. “It doesn’t lessen this tragedy. There is still a loss of life here. The family is going to have that loss forever.

Not for poor people and blacks in St. Louis County. The unrest had a lot more to do with what happens there than that one killing. SLC has around 90 local governments that are highly dependent of fining the hell out of people to support themselves. If you go to Walmart and back, you might, at worse, go through 2 different jurisdictions. Do it with a burned out brake light and you probably won't get any tickets, but likely no more than 1. Be a poor person in SLC and you might end up with 5 tickets before you reach your door.

Let's be honest...you left this out on purpose.

They made many changes in Ferguson. The traffic court will no longer support the local budget.
