Not just Missouri, but mostly Missouri - naacp

Yeah, I got this as a breaking news alert today. I spend a lot of time in Missouri but never ever west of Jackson County. I have been west of Jackson County once in 5 years and that was in the middle of the night. Anyway I completely missed this article.
http://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article153987164.htmlAnd this little tidbit from it:
Black drivers were more likely to be pulled over and more likely to be searched. But they were less likely to be found with contraband in those searches and more likely to be arrested than white drivers across Missouri.
In 2016, black drivers were 75 percent more likely to be stopped than white drivers in Missouri. In 2015, black drivers were 69 percent more likely to be stopped than white drivers.
So even with the Ferguson stuff and increased scrutiny on racial profiling, the state of Missouri has actually gotten WORSE. WTF?
Anyone or anyone's sock care to try to justify this? Missouri is absolutely the worst.
