Notes from the Resistance
“When I heard it was over 80 shell casings, I’m not numb to it, but it does not surprise me… that’s when I say we have to look at where the weapons are coming from?” Vice President of Public Safety of the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis James Clark said. [More]
If that’s his focus, expect things to get nothing but worse.

Neighbors defend St. Louis firefighter charged for firing weapon [More]
Too bad he told on himself.
The neighbors know the “authorities” won’t protect them and this is ripe for being capitalized on.

Missouri Governor-Elect Mike Kehoe announced at a press conference on Wednesday that he intends to pursue a state takeover of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. [More]
So the choice is to side with him or Tishaura…?

Black cars marked with ‘police’ patrol St. Louis. They aren’t owned by the city’s police department [More]
When enforcement motive becomes a matter of coporate profit instead of
“to secure the Blessings of Liberty,” I’d say we have a problem, and I question whether consent of the governed can be assumed.

The final night of a five-week citizens academy produced by the DEA St. Louis Division included a simulated “shoot – don’t shoot” scenario. “It takes literally a quarter of a second to get shot,” said Laura Bethany Strong, a St. Louis area resident after completing the simulation. [More]
And Laura doesn’t have a problem with someone who would do that being the only one with a choice?

The St. Louis County Jail population is increasing significantly, and now authorities are trying to figure out how to deal with it… [More]
So… they were lying about crime going down…?

Police said Daniel Metts, 36, attempted to rush the board members and attack them. [More]
Two “real reporters” worked this story and not a word about him being the brother of an alderman arrested for a drunk driving crash?

Police said Kendrick M. Bobo, 19, was driving on Olive with three people in his vehicle. At one point, Bobo pulled alongside another vehicle and the people in Bobo’s car began firing into that second car. [More]
That’s a “mastermind”…?
If only Bobo & Co. had received “cognitive behavioral therapy and street outreach…”
[Via bondmen]
Organizations, non-profits, and community members learned about a regional initiative called “Save Lives Now” on Thursday. The focus is to bring in cognitive behavioral therapy and street outreach to help reduce violent crime. [More]
Or as Rocky asked of Bullwinkle, “Again?“
Another “plan” announced to media fanfare that makes noises about symptoms while not just ignoring– but perpetuating and exacerbating the causes…
[Via bondmen]
Violent crime dropping in St. Louis, city officials say [More]
And officials have no idea why, meaning it’s sure not anything they’re doing.
Maybe if they add some unarmed targets in the form of violence interrupters they can get those numbers back up again.

‘Q in the Lou’ Barbecue Festival Canceled Due to Safety Concerns [More]
Let me guess: It’s not because of “the greatest threat“…?
This is what happens when you ignore the law.

Off-duty armed officers can work on a voluntary overtime basis to patrol MetroLink platforms and parking lots, as well as ride the train in support of the MetroLink Law Enforcement Team. [More]
God forbid they admit the obvious.
