Recently there have been reports that the Ferguson, Missouri Police Chief, Thomas Jackson, is expected to step down from his position.  This would be just one reform of the efforts expected to be made by city officials and government officials, discussing the issues at hand in this city of turmoil.  The proposed plan is for the current police chief to step down and the police chief from St. Louis County to take over.  However, both the mayor and the chief deny these allegations.

This is a step in the plan attempting to ease the tension between the city’s police force and the community. With a majority of the Ferguson community being black, the demographic of the police force should, if not match, be somewhat higher than the amount of white police officers.  After all, it is all psychological, sociological, and natural.  As people, we flock towards those who are our kind; who look like us, dress like us, talk like us, etc..  In many instances, we also show more respect towards those like us.  So an issue in Ferguson, Missouri right now, would apparently be the lack of respect to those in authoritative positions because they are white, and because they are part of the issue.  Race is playing a major role in the hold up of the entire Michael Brown case.
