Violent crime dropping in St. Louis, city officials say [More]

Ya gotta wonder when people are going to wake up and realize it’s not the weapon that needs to be transferred elsewhere…

Residents criticize SLMPD for 13-minute response to shooting [More]
Why did it even need to be called in, with ShotSpotter on the job…?

The first lawsuit accuses the officer of illegally detaining and assaulting bar co-owner Chad Morris.
