^^That said, he also put a truckton more cops on the streets, which I am all for. He also encouraged them to stop and frisk people for no reason and often detained people and never charged them -- I am not all for that.

The biggest thing that could be done to improve St. Louis would be to crackdown hardcore on criminals like Guiliani did in NYC in the 1990's. NYC went from being an extremely dangerous city in the 80's to being pretty safe by the year 2000.
Well the crime issue is often since most of the crime occurs in such a small area so it doesn't affect most people.
