When the MHP took over operations in the days after Mike Brown was murdered thing calmed down considerably. I remember seeing pictures of black people taking selfies with cops the very day that happened.

Things calmed down once MHP took over, but flared up once again when the local/county PD went off the reservation and issued the inflammatory video of the robbery that the FPD officials said was unrelated to the shooting (and claimed to justify it as part of the FOIA).

At each step, the FPD and STL County PD both undermined the MHP efforts to pacify the situation. And I have bad feelings about what they’re going to do should the grand jury fail to indict. The FPD and county PD are exhibits A and B of out of control police forces that deserve to be disbanded for their egregious and well documented actions.
