St. Louis Mayor Blasted For Revealing Identity Of Protesters

The mayor of St. Louis is being pressed to resign after she publicly revealed the names and addresses of anti-police protesters.

Lyda Krewson recited the names live on Facebook last week after meeting with demonstrators who presented her with written suggestions for the city budget, including proposals to cut funding for police. 

More than 50,000 people have signed a petition calling for her resignation.
