Missouri GOP’s Effort to Take Over St. Louis Police Hearkens Back to Civil War
—
City officials say the state’s plan to wrest back control of the police department is an attempt by white conservatives to weaken Black political influence. It’s part of a broader pattern of Missouri Republicans trying to override the will of voters.
@ProPublica
"and that statistics that show a decline in crime are inaccurate."
Ah yes, the party that loves talking about "the real truth" that religiously ignores data and statistics.
@ProPublica Exactly. The Missouri state government, or at least its GOP members (I have had very good responses from Democratic members) doesn't care about the people any longer. Kansas City's police still remains under state control more than 80 years after it was implemented. In some sense, it's an occupying army.
