quote:

In St. Louis, Mo., the worst-in-country murder rate is at a 50-year high, the police department has nearly 100 unfilled jobs, and the mayor wants to defund the department and shut down a city jail.


quote:

St. Louis' Tishaura Jones, who became the city’s first Black female mayor last month, had campaigned on a promise to enact progressive criminal justice reforms.

The head of the city’s corrections department is also on his way out. Jones announced his resignation last week, saying she hadn’t requested he step down but making clear she wasn’t satisfied with how he ran things.


quote:

In 1990s New York City, then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani did the opposite, hiring more police, stepping up enforcement and locking away more felons – dramatically cleaning up crime in the Big Apple.




It seems that the citizens of St. Louis basically voted for more crime. Let them have what they asked for.

Say it again. That is one scary place. The only “safe” areas are well outside of downtown. A shame too because STL has so many nice parks, local restaurants and in town neighborhoods.

Criminals run free there. Homeless are everywhere. It’s like San Fran, Chicago and Atlanta had a bad child together.

I will never in my life understand why the black community puts up with this kind of trash governance. It’s not systemic racism holding them back. It’s the black community itself that insists on shooting themselves in the foot over and over and over despite many peoples best effort to get them to stop. Quite frankly, the only thing that is going to save these communities is state legislatures stepping in and assuming control of these local governments and establishing some law and fricking order. If the local populace is incapable of electing officials with an IQ of a glass of water, the rest of the state shouldn’t have to sit back while they kill each other and drain the public treasury

Massive outward migration from cities might save this country. Anyone with the means who refuses to move and keeps funding these people is an idiot

The surrounding counties should offer to hire the remaining officers. That would put the pressure on the city to actually end the police force . Let them kill each other if that what they want .

The city of St. Louis is a shithole. There will be 250k in the city in 10 years.

County.
St. Louis city county is surrounded by St. Louis County. The city is a shithole with small pockets of safety.

This is what democrats want for all of America.

This is why republicans need to get their s*** together and beat the dems in 2022.

Trump needs to shut up about things in the past and focus on beating dems in 2022 instead of his need to extract revenge for revenge sake.

Is there a major city in this country not run by a black woman at this point? How's that going for them?

If they believed in consequences, they wouldn’t vote for Tishaura.

They’re all morons.

Technically, when you no longer have police, crime must "drop" because no one is arrested or charged with crimes anymore...
... Even if homicides increase.
