St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner is about to file a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city and the St. Louis police union that alleges a coordinated, racist conspiracy that she says is meant to drive her from office.
The complaint alleges racist and illegal efforts of Gardner’s opponents to block reforms meant to benefit minorities.
The lawsuit filed by Gardner, the first black woman elected as the chief prosecutor in St. Louis, appears to mark the first time an elected local prosecutor has brought a federal case against the police union for racially-motivated civil rights violations.
"As a reformer and black woman, I represent a clear threat to the police union and political establishment that are determined to preserve the status quo in St. Louis -- a status quo that benefits the few in power at the expense of the many," Gardner said in a statement accompanying the lawsuit.

Kinda like how Trump was treated.
So this public servant doesn't work on behalf of all the citizens, just minorities.
BTW, in St. Louis aren't whites the minority?
Fixed it.
Only at night.
A former black woman?
As a black woman, anyone who disagrees with her is a racist.
They elect these POS and then complain? A pox on demand all!
Aahh yes... The joys of being able to play with the hidden, but always available, race card...

Blacks and whites will never be able to peacefully coexist together - anywhere. Just look around the world.
How many more decades of this dysfunctional, abusive marriage must both sides endure before that reality sinks and both sides ask for a friendly divorce so each can go their own separate way.
No prosecuting of criminals, just law enforcement officials and law abiding citizens. Like that jerk in Baltimore.
