ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis Treasurer Tishaura Jones, who has been outspoken in her criticism of the criminal justice system’s "arrest and incarcerate" model, won election Tuesday and will take over as the first Black female mayor in a city beset by yet another wave of violent crime.
"St. Louis: This is an opportunity for us to rise," Jones said in her victory speech. "I told you when I was running that we aren’t done avoiding tough conversations. We are done ignoring the racism that has held our city and our region back."
Already, 2021 is shaping up to be even worse. The city has recorded 46 killings through Tuesday, about 10 ahead of last year’s dangerously high pace.
Jones has pledged to bring in more social workers, mental health counselors and substance abuse counselors, rather than adding more uniformed officers.
About 48% of St. Louis residents are white, 45% are Black. While both Jones and Spencer are Democrats, Jones in a recent debate questioned if another white mayor could adequately lead the city, noting that a "white person doesn’t have to worry about their children getting hit by a stray bullet when he’s outside."

Fewer police, and more "social workers," you know, to "de-escalate situations" so a suspook will just surrender. We don't need to make a betting pool on if St. Louis crime will get worse. A betting pool would be on how much. I'm putting myself down for 30%.
Same old nigger lies about racism holding them back, almost word for word, but it's not racism to point out that the problem is niggers. Whites and other humans are fleeing for the suburbs? Of course they will! They'll leave the remaining niggers behind to commit TNB among each other. And actually, white people have plenty to worry about with their children, about niggers attacking and killing them.
