The lawsuit–which was a civil rights lawsuit–was filed on Wednesday of this week (Feb. 11) upon the St. Louis suburb’s declination to change its law enforcement’s mistreatment of Melanoid people in that area.

An agreement was proposed by the Department of Justice which stated that law enforcement officials would be prevented from doing such things as shooting at moving vehicles, and making arrests without probable cause, among other things.

After a federal investigation was opened on Ferguson, the report revealed corruption on all levels of law enforcement in the city of Ferguson.
