In Ferguson, Missouri, the town where unarmed teenager Michael Brown was shot and killed last Saturday, over 60 percent of the population is black. But the police chief and mayor are white, nearly the entire city council and school board are white, and 50 out of its 53 police officers are white.
Sorry, how many of those top positions are elected?
