enough time to be able to offer a solution. so we re still, everything is just really up in the air. there have been small changes. many in the community deny feel there is a strong two-way dialogue. there is a lawsuit going about the recall effort for the mayor. so ferguson is still pretty much in limbo. the changes that have been made are very small and have not made enough difference here to many people in the community. wes, you covered ferguson, you have sort of gone on to cover a kind of national beat for the walk post around a lot of the same issues surfaced in ferguson, what do you think about what patricia just said which strikes me as an interesting point. ferguson had more effect outside ferguson in some ways than it did in ferguson? well, it s an interesting case study. i remember an old college professor of mean. a class i took, history of american injustice. he talked about how you can go to the japanese everyone terment camps, there is barely an okay r
