St. Louis Business Owners Sign in Support of Protesters, Criticize Police Response | News Blog: In a letter co-signed by 46 business owners and a host of other individuals, the group makes it clear exactly whose side they are on in the protests that have gripped the city, saying they stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter and and the protesters as a whole. They write, "The damage that we have or potentially could sustain during these demonstrations is a small price to pay in the fight for justice."
The letter also takes aim at the police response to the protests.
"We see police escalating tensions on the streets and then denying responsibility for the results," they write. "We see our innocent patrons caught up, brutalized and arrested in the Central West End, Loop and downtown. When media is arrested for doing their jobs, how do we tell our staff they are safe doing theirs?
