Y'all, this STATE CONTROLLED SLMPD budget demand is absolutely insane. Of course we knew it would be, but how. dare. they. think that taking money from other city services actually benefits our city? This is a police state budget, not a human, resident-benefitting budget. #STL #fundpeoplenotcops
Missouri under 20+ years of GOP rule has become a state dominated by cops and the rich. It is no safer and most definitely no better off because of it. Citizens are poorer, with less resources, and with less of a voice. It's a dominated state.

It’s my responsibility to balance the budget and allocate funding in ways that align with residents' priorities.
The Board of Police Commissioners doesn’t have to make those tradeoffs. Instead, they can use taxpayer money without having to worry about the broader impacts of those decisions.

“the cost of gas doubling is a small price to pay” is an incredibly funny thing to say as the head of a political movement that in many ways is still built on a nationwide psychosis triggered by having to go about four weeks without a haircut six years ago.
