Just days after a scathing report accused police in Ferguson, Mo., of over-enforcement that is racially discriminatory and aimed at raising revenue for the city, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) will introduce a bill that would make such policing practices a federal civil rights violation.
The Fair Justice Act would make it a civil rights violation punishable by up to five years in prison for a police officer, chief or department to enforce criminal or traffic laws for the purpose of raising revenue.
Here's an idea I could get behind. And why are we having this discussion? Because blacks have been pushed to the breaking point by their government. Sure, this guy went too far, but intellectually, how different is he from the minutemen at Lexington Green?
