Hi Michael,




*I know you have covered the situation in Ferguson.*

We analyzed racial profiling and arrest data from Ferguson and found:



   -

   Black drivers are over-represented in every aspect of vehicle stops -
   except on an Interstate Highway
   -

   White People Have Contraband But Black People Get Arrested


We have compiled an interactive database which visualizes data involving
racial profiling by the Ferguson Police Department:

<http://ferguson-racial-profiling-data.silk.co/>co.


You can post any visualizations as an embed in your article (Here's how)
