Hancock & Kelley: St. Louis mayor feels disrespected by state, Biden and Trump pardons draw complaints

The article from MSN discusses several political issues in St. Louis. St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones expressed frustration over what she perceives as disrespect from the state government, particularly in relation to the control of the city's police department, which was taken over by the state in 2013. This has led to ongoing tensions regarding local governance and autonomy. Additionally, the article touches on the controversy surrounding recent pardons by both former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden. Trump's pardons, especially those related to individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol riot, have drawn significant criticism for potentially undermining the justice system. Similarly, Biden's pardons, including one for a former soldier convicted of murder, have also faced backlash, with critics arguing about the implications for military justice and public trust. These actions by both presidents highlight the contentious nature of executive clemency and its impact on political and public discourse.
