St. Louis Police Poses with a Dead Black Man

I think this story got lost in the Link Encyclopedia but it’s important and I want to make sure everybody sees it.

A St. Louis police was called to an apartment where the body of a dead man was found. The man had died of a drug overdose, it seems. The officer in question found nothing better to do than to pose next with the body with a huge grin while grabbing the hand of the deceased black man and doing a thumbs-up for the camera.

The police can’t explain what the heck he was doing and how the photo ended up being leaked. They don’t know what happened to their crime scene camera at all.

This is a big story right now in St. Louis because we have a very high crime rate and the kind of police force that is managing to do nothing of use about it. Because mocking victims is how they spend their time instead of doing their jobs.
