In the summer of 2017, St. Louis police officers arrested and removed demonstrators protesting the Department of Justice’s decision to not prosecute the now former police officer Jason Stockley on a federal civil rights violation for the murder of Anthony Lamar Smith. As Tucker Boulevard was cleared, officers started chanting in unison: “Whose streets? Our streets!” The chant reverberated through the air as journalists, demonstrators, and bystanders alike attempted to comprehend the bold assertion that these officers not only co-opted a well-known activist phrase currently chanted by Black Lives Matter demonstrators but also sought to lay claim to public streets (McLaughlin and Cullinane).

在托尼莫里森的爵士乐中夺回街道

2017 年夏天，圣路易斯警察逮捕并驱逐了抗议司法部决定不起诉现任前警官杰森·斯托克利 (Jason Stockley) 谋杀安东尼·拉马尔·史密斯 (Anthony Lamar Smith) 的联邦民权侵犯行为的示威者。当塔克大道被清理干净时，警察开始齐声高呼：“谁的街道？我们的街道！” 当记者、示威者和旁观者都试图理解这样一个大胆的断言时，这种口号在空气中回荡，这些官员不仅采用了目前由“黑人的命也是命”示威者高呼的著名激进主义短语，而且还试图对公共街道提出要求（麦克劳克林和库里南）。
