A police SUV crashed into Bar:PM. Then co-owner James Pence was handcuffed and now his civil lawsuit is heading to trial. At the same time, St. Louis has paused Police Chief Robert Tracy’s proposed $112,000 salary increase while a state investigation looks into how his contract was approved. These are separate issues, but both raise questions about transparency, public trust and accountability. #BarPM #StLouis #policebutalitymuststop #stl #LGBTQ
