The city of St. Louis, with its rising crime rate, recently voted to defund its police department of millions of dollars and erase nearly 100 vacant officer positions. It is backed by their newly elected BLM congresswoman and mayor.
St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones (D) and Comptroller Darlene Green supported the plan and Board of Aldermen President Lewis Reed opposed the proposal. The plan moves $4 million out of the police department’s $171 million budget to go toward affordable housing, homeless services, a victims’ support program and civil rights litigators,” the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. “The police budget accounts for about 15% of total city spending.”
“Today’s decision to defund the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department is historic,” Bush said in a statement. “We are building a St. Louis where elected officials lead in partnership with activists, organizers, and our communities.”
If you’re a resident, you’re not even allowed to arm up to protect yourself. Remember the McCloskeys! Yet, the BLM mayor just doubled her security.
St. Louis voted to defund the police, replace them with unarmed social workers

USTRANSCOM is located at Scott Air Force Base, 17 miles from downtown St. Louis. For those of you that don’t know about it, it’s the joint headquarters for all military international shipping. They employ thousands of civilians that live in the greater St. Louis area. I’m wondering if it gets too rough, they’ll think about relocating. I would certainly be considering it if I were in the Pentagon.
