Hot times in cold St. Louis Wednesday night as a town meeting to consider a civilian review board degenerated into shouting and shoving. Right at the center of it? Jeff Roorda, the police union general manager who has been a steadfast defender of unlimited police rights at the expense of citizens. Raw Story: The disturbance reportedly started after an argument between Jeff Roorda, who leads the city’s police officers association, and Alderman Terry Kennedy. Witnesses accused Roorda of shoving a woman, which angered members of the audience.
