“It’s like a war zone,” Schmitt told the Caller. “Law enforcement officers risk their lives to go out and make these arrests only to find out that the circuit attorney is allowing every single one of them back on the street within 24 hours.”

Schmitt also said that there was video showing people throwing bricks at police officers as well as video showing people damaging police transport vehicles. He said none of the people captured in those videos had at that time been charged.

Gardner had previously ordered the release of a number of inmates from the city jail, according to Schmitt — some of whom had been charged with domestic violence and other violent crimes — due to the threat of the coronavirus pandemic. At the time, there had been no outbreak connected with the St. Louis City correctional facilities.

“If you are going to loot and steal and burn down buildings and you’re going to be out in 24 hours, that’s not accountability, that’s completely unacceptable,” Schmitt concluded. “In a civilized society, you ought to know that your life and property are going to be protected.”

"I’ve noticed that the Attorney General is tweeting quite a bit about looters and rioters and not about the fact that we have a history of police violence in this city and nation.

And that has caused people to take to the streets yet again to demand accountability and change in our criminal justice system.

It is clear that he does not care about justice or safety or the needs of this community. He just wants to launch a politically motivated attack against me, even if it means misleading and lying to the public.

While the AG continues to fuel the division in the community at a time of great pain, suffering and racial divide, my response to the AG: I got work to do."

Currently neither Gardner or Schmitt have talked to each other.

Schmitt said his office is working with federal authorities to prosecute those who committed violence in downtown St. Louis.

Dozens of police officers in Louisville, Ky. reportedly walked out on the city's Democratic mayor, Greg Fischer, as a form of protest, as the Fraternal Order of Police president explained that the officers felt “disrespected” as they struggle to keep the peace after more than a week of fiery protests.

Video obtained by the Courier-Journal shows Fischer standing in the middle of the room at a roll call before the start of a 12-hour shift, as streams of Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) officers and detectives silently file out.

FOP President Ryan Nichols, who was not present, said the move was an unplanned reaction to Fischer’s address.

"They feel completely unsupported and disrespected by this administration," Nichols said. "They feel whatever he was going to say would have been nothing more than lip service, and he does not care about them at all."
