State sending troopers to help fight St. Louis crime

ST. LOUIS (AP) ‐ Missouri Gov. Mike Parson is sending highway patrol troopers and other state workers to St. Louis as part of an effort to fight the surge of violent crime that has included the killings of more than a dozen children in the region so far this year.

The Republican governor on Thursday announced an action plan that takes effect Oct. 1. Parson said the total cost of the state’s commitment, including the 25 state employees who will work in the St. Louis region, is up to $4 million.

"This is about targeting violent criminals and getting them off the street," Parson said at a news conference in St. Louis.

Troopers will patrol interstate highways and assist with U.S. Marshals Service and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that focus on violent criminals. The state is also providing investigators to help with federal crime cases and social workers to assist crime victims. Parson said his plan also includes $2 million in state funds for services to help crime victims.

The plan does not include any change in gun laws, something St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson and other Democrats have called for. Parson said it would be up to the Missouri Legislature to change gun laws but reiterated his staunch support for citizens’ gun rights.

#1 The key is ROE

#2 I dunno G, maybe the "ROE" in Roe v. Wade should be retroactively applied. Once the libs crossed the Rubicon of birth not limiting abortion, who says what the upper limit of time should be?

#3 Jun 17, 2019 ... But after 1950, St. Louis fell into steep decline. Its population has shrunk to 302,838, a drop of 65 percent—worse than Detroit's population loss.

#4 First they decided to "Professionalize" the police by requiring them to have college degrees. Pause for a second and ask why, why a diploma would make you any more qualified to be policeman than someone that passed Boot Camp in the Army, Navy or Marines? Result too few officers to "police", instead they "patrol" in their cars and only respond to crime like firemen respond to house fires -- after the damage is done.

Then they decided to hire by Profiling, destroying any advantage the "credentials of college" might have given. Nepotism is bad, but hiring by "ethnic quota" is an insidious rot.

Then the icing on the cake: ROE. The politicians demand the impossible so the few policemen still trying just give up...

#5 Also, isn't the city of St. Louis the one with the nutcase DA who has decided that some policemen are "racist" and that she won't prosecute any criminals they bring in?

Small wonder the population decline has been so steep. High crime and awful schools--I still can't figure out why city leaders think that this is a winning formula.

#7 ROE : "If you give me the finger I'll cut you in half with my full auto gun." , If I see a light in a window after 10|PM I will fire a 40mm grenade into it. "
