@JaneDueker @saintlouismayor Given the Mayor's opposition to Spencer's bill, I'd be interested in knowing what gun legislation the Mayor would like to see passed at the state or national level.

@Citizens4STL @saintlouismayor Thanks for reporting on this (and the many other incidents through the spring/summer). How much murder, mayhem and destruction must STL suffer before the leadership of STL gets serious about these issues.

[pershingstl @pershingstl]

@lsterman 100% agree with this sentiment.

[pershingstl @pershingstl]

@JClooneySTL1 @JaneDueker The argument for how policing can reduce 911 calls is the following: If people sense a greater police presence, they will act more responsibly, resulting is less 911 calls. For instance, when people see police on the highway, most drive near the speed limit.

@Citizens4STL @saintlouismayor @MeganEllyia @JasonHallSTL @NealRichardson_ @CaraSpencerSTL @AlderSheenBean @GreaterSTLinc @CommerceBank @Cardinals @enterprisecares @DowntownStLouis @stlcid @Stifel Key line from NR article: Between 2019 and 2022, St. Louis lost 542 businesses downtown... The city has 38 percent as much downtown phone traffic as it had in 2019. St. Louis has the highest per capita crime cost in the nation, standing at $8,457 per resident...

@XinqiSu Thanks for you reporting. Please keep shining a light on these gross violations of human rights.

@MichaelJGras @LuluStl @SchnucksMarkets Is the laundry detergent locked up or did they just forget to restock it?

[pershingstl @pershingstl]

@briscoe_les @JaneDueker There is serious academic work that shows policing reduces all sorts of crime. Mayor needs to be fact checked, not only on Twitter, but across every other media source when she engages in her disinformation campaign against policing and public safety.

@DonnybrookStl @lsterman @Citizens4STL @lsterman Please run for mayor. You speak for so many people in Saint Louis who just want a safe place to live their live.

@Curtis39873882 @Citizens4STL Thanks for teaching me about the law against brandishing... Seems like it could be an important law to help government actors achieve some degree of law and order in this City.

@JaneDueker @SLPOA @ESOP_STL "Reimagine public safety" = second highest per-capita homicide rate (yr 2022), second highest number of traffic fatalities (yr 2022), in addition to a general sense of threat and fear (car jackings, car break ins, etc.) . #factcheck #stl (1/2)

@stlwrong @Beganovic2022 Relatedly, the Circuit Attorney could *explain* why there was not sufficient evidence to bring charges.... what evidence did she want to see?

[pershingstl @pershingstl]

@JaneDueker State could pass STL's ideal gun laws, and STL will have the same problems we've always had if the laws are not enforced. STL likes to focus on gun laws (and blame the state) so they don't have to take responsibility for what is in their control.

[pershingstl @pershingstl]

@JaneDueker Mayor Jones likes to suggest policing doesn't work and the "data" back her up. In fact, some of the best data suggests policing works: https://t.co/kiYkyAV9ij

@Beganovic2022 What do you think the punishment should be in a world where permitless open carry was illegal?
