Thanks for the thread, Tsiyu.

that the City of St. Louis is a county itself. So, St. Louis City and St. Louis County are separate, neighboring, entities.

Also, Chief Sam Dotson seems to be a good man and is well liked in the city.

that's why a year or two ago, the RWNJs in Jeff City changed their status.

I think they now report to the capitol and no longer have state jurisdiction.

Not sure, exactly, too tired/lazy/burnt to look it up. They're still pretty well liked locally, they don't screw with the small stuff.

someone I know in Missouri said that she couldn't schedule parental conferences on Wednesdays because it clashes with klan meetings.

County cops always played the authoritarian and just fucked with people - especially the young. City cops have always been cool.

A few years ago, I was pulled over by a shaved headed county cop for expired plates. He wrote the ticket, and I'd bet the only reason he paid any attention to me was because I had a black passenger. It was the south (white) side and I was only a few blocks from the city line. If a city cop even noticed, he/she would have just told me to take care of it.

Glad I don't live in the county anymore.

when they see what is happening here? Boy, do we look like the police state we truly are. knr

as you're gonna get.

A sensible large metro police chief speaks common sense. About time.

of them is in charge.

That sounds like a recipe for disaster right there. Nothing like militarized chaos.
