“The STL City police department budget for fiscal year 2019 is $234 Million. That is almost half of the city’s operating budget. This shows clearly that a majority of the Democratically controlled city government are not committed to curing the real causes of violence.‬” $234 million a year yet St. Louis the most violent, most dangerous and murder capitol of the nation. $234 million a year and over 300 officers are facing a police brutality lawsuit. That’s what $234 million a year has gotten us… What exactly are we paying for? St. Louis can be all that for free.

Previous Post Speaking of police, Virvus Jones sums up my sentiment, “The problem with the Stl City Police stinks from the head. Starting with Mayor Lyda Krewson. The police beat the that black undercover police officer, the Post Dispatch reporter, shot a black police office and did kettling because they believe they were given carte blanc authority to do whatever they wanted to do by Krewson and her handpicked chief. As long as other police officers keep quiet about police corruption until they become a victim, they are all guilty. You can’t ask citizens to say something if they see something if the police don’t live by the same code,” Starting with Chief Hayden and Public Safety Director Jimmie Edwards. O’Toole’s been gone. Hayden and Edwards are doing the caping, blaming & shaming.

You’ll be setting Cure Violence up and ourselves up for failure if you put all our eggs in one basket” – Serena Muhammad, director of strategic initiatives for the tax-supported mental health agency <br><br>At least this sista admits the obvious, unlike James Clark and Better Family Life who want us to believe every problem can be solved by giving them more money.
