2 Ferguson police officers resign in wake of Justice Department report

(CNN) — Two police officers in Ferguson, Missouri, resigned Thursday
over racist emails discovered during the U.S. Department of Justice
investigation of the police department, city spokesman Jeff Small said
on Friday, citing the city attorney.

Small identified the officers as Rick Henke and William Mudd.

Also on Friday, Small said the city’s top court clerk, Mary Ann Twitty
was fired earlier this week in the wake of the DOJ report release.

On Wednesday, the Justice Department released its report on the police
department after an investigation prompted by the slaying last summer of
black teenager Michael Brown by a white police officer.
