SLMPD told the press there’s no tox report because there had to be “reasonable suspicion of impairment” to test for drugs. Now there’s evidence the officer not only crashed into Bar:PM, but he also ran a red light. The status quo isn’t working. We need ⬆️ civilian oversight.

Great catch by Channel 4. They note how SLMPD has now twice changed the story on the reason for the crash. First it was a dog, then it was “overcorrecting” for a parked car. Now their own (‼️) incident report cites “distracted/inattentive” driving. Link:

Your primer on Alder Sonnier's three bills supporting unhoused folks, which will be heard at tomorrow night's Nov 1st HUDZ committee meeting: 1. The three bills are BB126, BB127, & BB128. 2. The unhoused crisis has ballooned in our city. 20% of SLPS students are unhoused.

She attended PPSLR’s action after Roe was gutted. She tweets this. She voted for an abortion ban in the MO House. She ran for BofA Pres. as pro-choice. She has relationships, not opinions. She values power over consistency. The more her influence wanes, the better for STL.

SLMPD *still* hasn’t said if the officers who beat Morris took a breathalyzer test, or if they’ll face any consequences. And as his attorney notes, there’s a history of SLMPD drunk driving. We need more than sanitized statements from our electeds rn. We need calls for change.

Someone who is unhoused was the one who decided to start the encampment at City Hall vs somewhere else in order to bring attention to our housing crisis. They introduced themself to me and my friends last night. But ok, go ahead and rob unhoused folks of their agency, I guess 🤷‍♂️

I’ll be blunter: Alders Anne Schweitzer and Michael Browning were the main reasons Alder Sonnier’s three bills to support our unhoused neighbors didn’t pass through HUDZ in the fall. This blood is on their cowardly hands.

Advocates are reporting 3-4+ unhoused neighbors have perished this week. Many others have severe frostbite requiring amputation. This is not how a humane society treats their most vulnerable. We need more low barrier shelter/housing. “NIMBYism can’t continue driving policy.
