Former Ferguson, Missouri police officer Kim Tihen, who was previously accused of participating in the beating of Henry Davis and then charging him with destruction of property for getting his blood on the uniforms of the four officers involved, has had a new job since 2012:
Davis pleaded guilty to reduced charges and ended up moving to Mississippi. Officer Tihen, for her part, is no longer with the Ferguson Police Department. In 2012, after four years on the force, she won election to the city council, becoming one of the six-person body's five white members. (The sixth is Latino.) Two-thirds of Ferguson's residents are black, but the city holds elections in the spring, making for low turnout—in April 2012, when Tihen was elected, less than 9 percent of eligible voters went to the polls.
This civil case is ongoing and expected to resume in December.
All the more reason for the people of Ferguson to get out the vote on future elections.
IMO justice doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell in Ferguson this is the small town family and elect rich that run the place that you have heard about seen movies about. and to top it off the DA has history of dad being killed by a Black guy, relatives on the police force, gov who refuses to take him off the case why is he afraid of him or cop relatives.
if not for the presence of Mr. Holder and the feds Mr. Brown's right to do process and finality would be slim and none, this isn't Mayberry and the city council harbors rogue copos as members and they have to know his history and his pending case. why was there only a 9% turnout for his election fear or warnings instilling fear?
