   A 36-year-old St. Louis woman who stepped outside to check on   
   her car winded up being shot by thugs, reports the St. Louis   
   Post-Dispatch:   
      
   She had heard a car alarm sounding at about 5:15 a.m. Monday in   
   the 5900 block of Horton Place. The woman looked outside and saw   
   four men tampering with her car, said Police Maj. Gerald   
   Leyshock. They saw her and fired shots in her direction. One of   
   the bullets came through her window and hit her in the chest.   
      
   Police have made no arrests in the case and had no suspects.   
   Police say she didn’t know the suspects.   
      
   The incident occurred in a neighborhood that the St. Louis   
   police were to start “hot-spot policing” later that same day.   
   This method of policing allows the police to focus their efforts   
   on those parts of the city that most need assistance. According   
   to Chief of Police Sam Dotson, who spoke with Law Street Media   
   this past March, hot-spot policing has helped reduce the 2006   
   crime rate in St. Louis by a whopping 50 percent. Hopefully, the   
   revival of “hot-spot policing” in this neighborhood will help   
   ensure that no more women (or men) wind up being shot by thugs.   
      
   Clearly, the St. Louis police are doing something correctly,   
   which begs this question: Why did Saint Louis University just   
   commission a campus sculpture to honor an “Occupy SLU” protest   
   last fall whose primary goal was to lambaste the police?   
      
   Flying an upside-down American flag, they gave speeches and   
   “teach ins” on topics such as “conscious awakening, systematic   
   oppression, white supremacy, and students’ responsibility to the   
   community,” according to a YouTube video that documented the   
   demonstration.   
      
   It just seems weird that the university wants to honor the same   
   types of hooligans who hate the police.   
      
   Question: Who really deserves to be praised – the anti-police   
   protesters or the police themselves?
