Sorry, Bloomberg Law has the world’s finest paywall, and I’ve found no way around it, so we get only a tiny peek at the article, but that’s enough.
The Eighth Circuit said Friday that two St. Louis County police officers weren’t entitled to qualified immunity after they allegedly bumped into a suspect’s car on purpose during a pursuit, then failed to render aid when he crashed into a tree and died.
That’s not unique. LAPD (city) is the third largest police force in the nation. LASD (county) is fourth.
It’s not just our police that are split, everything is split. The “city” of st Louis as most understand it is actually over a hundred legally separate cities that are all close to the each other and a whole bunch of unincorporated areas that don’t participate in anything
