A prominent figure in the Justice Department’s damning report, Ferguson City Manager John Shaw has resigned, and the city council unanimously approved what it called a mutual separation agreement.
The resignation comes shortly after the resignation of Judge Ronald Brockmeyer. Both men were portrayed as supporting revenue generation for the City of Ferguson through the use of aggressive fines and court penalties, part of what the Justice Department describes as systemic bias targeting mostly poor African-Americans.
