address the root causes of crime
Lefties have been babbling about that for decades and have totally failed.
Some people are evil--that is the root cause of crime.
Catch actual criminals, lock them up, and throw away the key, and watch the crime rate go down...

Make it so. It’s going to have to get worse before it can get better. Sadly there will be casualties.

no police, no law enforcement...What could go wrong? St. Louis will become a freeking shooting gallery..and if you don't give us a free chicken sandwich on every McDs order, we burn your place down.
My god, what the hell is St. Louis thinking?
On the other hand, here is a prime opportunity for St. Louis to show the rest of us that fewer police IS the way to go..I sincerely wish them the best. The "Show Me State" can now be a showcase!! &^)

The plan cuts 98 vacant police jobs, including six lieutenants, 25 sergeants, and 67 police officers, which the mayor says have been vacant for 12 years.
That is a hell of a lot of jobs to keep vacant for 12 years.
To: lowbridge
Fantastic idea, now the denizens of St. Louis can take personal responsibility for their own wellbeing. The remaining police can take advanced classes in chalk outline drawings.
