his speech alluded to that they have not concluded what they started investigating. that they re supposed to be open and fair with this rigorous investigation, that they have not prejudged that. but then again they ve made statements he s made statements like this weeks, in fact months ago saying there s an obvious need for wholesale change. that sounds like you ve prejudged the situation to me. so that is frustrating. i would like to see the investigation into the police department and into the situation might warrant some improvements or some reforms that i think we could maybe all agree that there s always room for improvement. but he s clearly made his mind up that there s need for wholesale change. and that doesn t sound like someone who s open minded in their investigation. uh-huh. i know one of the areas that you are looking to improve is the racial makeup of the police force since it is very disproportionate to the citizenry of ferguson. i think all sides have applauded tha
enforcement. darren wilson is now out. he resigned. he s not going to get any severance package. is that fair? i think it s unfortunate that his career s over. i mean, it s absolutely, you know, a situation where he did his job that the grand jury has said there was no wrongdoing and i know he wants to be a law enforcement officer still. he stated that. but of course i think he thought it was best for both himself, his family and for the law enforcement officers to continue to serve in the city of ferguson for him to move on. what s going to happen now with the looters? over 70 arrests with the looting of the stores and the arsons we saw and so on and so forth. what is the status of those criminal charges? i mean, that s still ongoing. for anybody who s been involved in any of the looting or destruction, anybody who s been caught has been charged. and those people will be prosecuted.
