According to KTVI-TV , St. Louis’s top prosecutor—Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner—has a so-called "exclusion list" of 28 police officers and will refuse to prosecute suspected criminals if any of those officers are deemed critical to such prosecutions.
Implying that those officers cannot be trusted to be truthful in legal proceedings, Gardner said in a written statement, "Police officers play an important role in the criminal justice system, and the credibility of officers is one of the most important attributes of the job."
