Another day, another police apologist making a jacka** of themselves.
Jane Dueker, a police union lawyer in St. Louis, took to Twitter to go on a rant accusing activist group Action St. Louis of financial impropriety and even revealed director Kayla Reed’s home address.
NewsOne reported that Jane Dueker, a white woman, posted a series of tweets in which she attempted to mar the organization’s reputation and its executive director.
First, Dueker posted what seemed like a general inquiry about scammers and eventually skipped up the proverbial aisle to ask if anyone knew anything about the non-profit status of Action St. Louis.
Do you have proof that in fact @ActionSTL has applied for and received 501c3 status and @actionstlpower has been given 501c4. Have you seen the letter determinations. Have you seen the form 990s filed? https://t.co/ZFGAXSrrNG

The lawyer, who can’t seem to mind her own business, went on to tweet that the organization is obligated to produce proof of their status to anyone who requested it.
Dueker then asked if the organization had the right to back political candidates.
In your opinion, is it appropriate for a 501c3 (not c4) to put in their biography that it has used the 501c3 to elect candidates like was done here? “Action St Louis has led campaigns to elect progressive candidates to local offices….” https://t.co/6KCuYt92X9 pic.twitter.com/L9c9Q0u0Qf

Defenders of the organization were quick to step in on the lawyer and her dubious claims.
For those following along:@ActionSTL is a 501(c)(3) & isn’t directly political@actionstlpower is their 501(c)(4) arm, which can be politically active; the white police union lawyer likely is being obtuse here & intentionally trying to mislead@ActionNetworkHQ is unrelated

As a lawyer for a union, there is no way that Dueker did not know the answer to the question she posed. But, her shenanigans did not stop. At some point, she doxxed Kayla Reed and shared her address with the internet.
I just saw my home address on Twitter. The home addresses of my staff on Twitter.
We can have poltical disputes. I welcome them. You can fully disagree with our tactics but that’s too far. That’s too f**king far.

Of course, Dueker played innocent and said that she did not doxx anyone.

What is more interested about what Jane Dueker did is that she has her own history of questionable ethics regarding accepting money.
After Dueker filed an ethics complaint against Alderwoman Cara Spencer, who worked battling the payday loan industry, it was revealed that Dueker lied more than twice about receiving money from the payday loan industry when she worked as both a lobbyist and attorney.
Dueker represented a payday lender in a case that made it to the Missouri Supreme Court, and after having lost previous cases, the payday lender miraculously won.
When she was caught, she said she merely forgot about the monies she received.
It seems like Dueker should have sat this one out.
