We’re the Only Ones Incentivized Enough

A security camera on his house is part of a network on more than 130 homes and businesses that send alerts to a private-duty police officer hired by the neighborhood. [More]

If I’m reading that right, they don’t do the job while they’re on duty so they can charge a premium while they’re off duty…? That’s what “shows the plan is working”?

Tales of the Bizarro World

Missouri’s governor would play a major role in St. Louis policing and prosecution under a bill praised by Republicans as a way to fight crime and criticized by Democrats as an attempt to take away local control from the Black-led city. [More]

So the people trying to save black lives are the racists…?

All That ‘Common Sense’ Just Ignored…

Investigators confirmed the Jeep had been stolen less than 48 hours earlier. They found a stolen AR-style pistol on the backseat and a .357-caliber Glock 32 under the passenger seat. Both weapons had large-capacity magazines. [More]

If only there were some kind of law for people who can’t be trusted with guns…

Until then, they expect you and me to give up ours.

Fascists Attack Hero of Justice and Equity

A St. Louis judge sanctioned St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner’s office last week for allegedly withholding evidence in a double-murder case, while allowing the suspect out on bond, amid rising criticism about left-wing prosecutors allowing crime to flourish in major U.S. cities. [More]

And you’ll notice the strategy of those who want things to be this way is to deflect with charges of racism and antisemitism so that people will be afraid to speak the truth.

And the Crowd Went Wild

Kim Gardner hosts criminal justice reform discussion… She said poverty is the number one factor driving crime and called on St. Louis to do more to address inequities within the community. [More]

I remember my father telling me about cutting mold spots out of bread slices during the Great Depression– back in the days when you could walk into a hardware store and walk out with a .38 and before the days of getting forced wealth transfers just because you exist.

They didn’t use that as an excuse to act like savages or live in filth or blame others.

It’s Under Control

St. Louis suspect seen calmly loading gun, shooting homeless man execution style in broad daylight [More]

No worries.

The St. Louis Police Chief is meeting with clergy to “talk about crime” and “the St. Louis safety committee worked with the city police … to spread awareness about gun safety.”

Throw in a tax-funded youth mentoring program or two, and problem solved!

‘Leaders’ Summit Guarantees More Urban Carnage

St. Louis leaders and police work to address youth gun violence… The St. Louis safety committee worked with the city police on Tuesday to spread awareness about gun safety. [More]

“Youth violence” or “gun safety”? Which is it?

And what track record shows any of these dolts are capable of doing more than removing their sn0uts out of the trough long enough to regurgitate hackneyed talking points for an equally ignorant media that confirm their utter incompetence?

Location, Location, Location

A recent back-and-forth crime spree involved three St. Louis County teens reportedly stealing cars, which culminated in a shooting. The trio was arrested in on the eastern side of the river, where they were not going to be prosecuted. So, police brought the teens to the other side to get charges filed. [More]

And why weren’t they going to be prosecuted there?

That’s a rhetorical question.

We’re the Only Ones Dispossessed Enough

When the deputy got out, police claim the suspects tried to grab his weapon, which was secured in his holster. After a brief struggle, the two ended up with the deputy’s gun and cellphone. The suspects then drove off in the deputy’s car, a 2011 Chevy Cruz. [More]

They can’t even protect themselves yet we’re supposed to believe they can protect us?
