ACLU sues St. Louis police over handling of 2015 protest
ST. LOUIS (AP) — A week after approving a resolution remembering a man who was fatally shot by St. Louis police, the city's Board of Aldermen considered — but did not pass — a resolution Friday honoring police for their handling of demonstrations that arose after the officer was acquitted.
With protesters outside City Hall, the board voted to send to committee a resolution commending "the men and women of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department for their steadfast dedication to safeguarding the well-being" of city residents.
Protesters outside the building said they were there to make city officials aware demonstrations that began Sept.
