## Transcript

The fourth and final Department of Justice review over what happened in Ferguson is out, and it's rough. The report's overall message is clear, the St Louis county police department was not prepared to respond to the events that transpired more than a year ago. Numerous goals are outlined. Diversifying the police force, improving training for how officers interact with the community and bettering the departments protest response are all recommended. In all the DOJ report has 50 findings and over 100 recommendations for the St. Louis police department which is kind of a lot. That said it still wasn't as bad as a previous report which harshly criticized the police department accusing it of violating the US Constitution on multiple levels.

And the report held St Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar in high regards for his willingness to have his department undergo the [ UNKNOWN ] evaluation recommendations in this latest DOJ report are just that recommendations.
