The Spirit(s) of Kansas City



I have a horrible sense of humor . . . By far this is my favorite story of the day:
Police say a 23-year-old Kansas City man had two young children in his vehicle as he was drinking a beer during a police chase.

James E. French is charged with resisting arrest, two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and driving while revoked.

According to court documents, French was driving a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am near Linwood and College around 9:20 p.m. Sunday when officers attempted to pull him over for an outstanding Jackson County warrant.

French did not stop and led police to 31st and Bales, where he stopped his vehicle and put his hands out the driver’s side window, police say.

But as officers approached, French drove off, stopping again in the 3000 block of Bales, where police say he got out of the car with a beer in his hand and approached officers.

French continued to drink the beer as he approached police, despite verbal commands to stop, court documents say.
Yeah, the fact that there were kids in danger kind of takes the fun out of the story . . . But they weren't seriously hurt according to the story . . . So I'm pretty sure it's okay to laugh at this liquored up local police chase.

  2. Were the kids really in danger or was it that they COULD charge him with that, so they DID? I hope you checked that out rather than just take the police version of the blotter. Thats what reporters do... too much trouble to see if there's any side other than the officers' side.

    I still notice that pretty much every time I see a big, old 1980s GM car, it's always at the side of the road and the poor slob is getting written up by a suburban cop in a brand new, high performance citizen catcher. Thank god for the police... which is the only place that shave-headed trained killers from the military can find work.

    Tony, most cops are just tax collectors cruising for poor people to fine them a hundred bucks. Time to quit whining about the cops.

    Best thing that could happen is for THEM to get laid off, so they too know how much a hundred bucks is when you don't have it to spare!

  3. Speaking as a shaved headed trained killer from the military, I found a very nice job. Your generalizations are getting old too.

  4. In KC I usually saw cops stopping newer cars and ignoring cars without plates or stolen cars. No use stopping someone with no money to pay the ticket. Only clogs up the computers.
