St. Louis County, MO  (KTRS)  St. Louis County Executive Steve Stenger says the county plans to appeal a judges ruling on a policing measure.

Circuit Judge Robert S. Cohen issued a summary judgment on Wednesday in favor of a challenge by several larger cities in the county, who called the measure “illegal and unconstitutional.”

Varying police standards became an issue after the fatal 2014 shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, by then Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson. Wilson was not indicted in the case.
