Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson
UPDATE: The resignation is official.
Here's a link to the announcement.
After his boss, his judge, his captain, and his sergeant all resigned, Chief Thomas Jackson of the embattled Ferguson police department is scheduled to resign later today, according to news and police sources.
Cited over and over again in the DOJ's Ferguson report for artificially driving up revenues on the backs of African Americans, Chief Jackson worked in direct concert with Ferguson CEO/City Manager John Shaw and the Municipal Judge Ronald Brockmeyer to push the system as far and hard as they could—with an astounding state-high 567 non-traffic court cases per 1,000 people—more than double any other city in the state.
With his second in command and top sergeant cited for racism and his boss and the lead judge implicated in a revenue scheme, it's amazing that Chief Jackson has held out this long.
