Prosecutor adds 22 St. Louis police officers to exclusion list
By: Jim Salter The Associated Press June 19, 2019

St. Louis’ top prosecutor has added 22 more names to a list of city police officers who are not allowed to bring cases to her office, after a national group accused the officers of posting racist and anti-Muslim comments on social media.
The 22 new names brings to 59 the total number of officers on Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner’s “exclusion list” that she first announced in August. Gardner has said the original list included officers with credibility concerns, but declined to elaborate.

I can’t imagine why the St Louis police union has problems with this upright prosecutor. /s

Today there was a rally for her in STL by other “reform” prosecutors who feel a push back from law enforcement.

The new guy in SF also seems to be a piece of work. Instead of prosecuting, the default position seems to be “the police are lying about our upstanding citizens.” I don’t see this ending well.
