DEAD TREE MEDIA TREACHERY!!! YAEL AGAINST HIGHER COP SALARIES AND KANSAS CITY PUBLIC SAFETY!!!

Yael: Don't give KC police 11 percent pay raise

This just doesn't make any sense and his reasoning is more convoluted than I've ever seen.

TKC Response:

Given the uptick in Kansas City homicides this town NEEDS to make sure we're keeping good police and staying competitive in recruitment. Higher salaries are the only way to accomplish this priority for public safety.

Of all the places to allocate public resources . . . The money is best spent with the KCPD.

Yael's arguments aren't journalism or analysis . . . They're nothing but Dead Tree Media trolling that doesn't have the best interests of Kansas City in mind.

Yael, you idiot, where were you when the fire union kept getting raises and other city workers got NOTHING!!!

A pay increase? For what this?

"Last year, Kansas City had 108 total homicides – which ranks far behind New York City’s 515 or Chicago’s 431. But Kansas City’s murder rate – 23 homicides per 100,000 people – is the fourth-highest murder rate in the U.S."
The homicide rate in KCMO has been like this for years!!!!!

Outsource until there is enough fresh blood to rebuild KCPD

I have no affiliation with law enforcement but I did some research and asking around and found the following:

KCPD - 1 Year Salary - $39k
KCK PD - 1 Year Salary - $40k

KCPD - 2 Year Salary - $40k
KCK PD - 2 Year Salary - $51k

KCPD - 5 Year Salary - $48k
KCK PD - 5 Year Salary - $62k

And so on and so on....

I think we need to be competitive with surrounding agencies or we will continue to lose good officers to other agencies like Independence, Lees Summit, Overland Park, and apparently KCK which all pay signficantly better than KCMO.

I did talk to one officer though who has been on KCMO for almost 6 years. He said that right after he came to the dept. they froze the pay step increases (which is apparently what this 11% is going toward) and he has been at $40k for almost six years, instead of the $50+k he should be at based on the pay step module. He said that a new recruit officer just off probation is making more than he is because the entry pay step was raised a few years ago. This officer said that nearly 100 officers have left KCPD in the last year and a half to go to other departments or jobs that pay more.

It only seems logical to pay KCMO PD comparatively with other nearby agencies as our crime continues to rise every year.

I agree, outsource! Pay them on annual contacts based in performance. Get rid if the fat belly, lazy, racist pigs who are only there because they are too lazy to do anything else other than ride around and eat donuts.

Bring in the drones and the mercenaries!

Fuck the criminals and to Hell with the KCPD!

WTF said...

Mercenaries? Really? Are things that bad in KC that we need to resort to ancient strategies?

Anonymous said...

There is no such thing aa "good officer!" You red neck white trash muthafuckas have made it clear that it's the black people and their very existence that controls the crime rate. Right, whitey?

So if you put a "good officer; in a black neighborhood do you expect crime to decrease? Think before you spew your ignorant racist remarks!

No, call in mercenaries. Stop the crime that way. Kill the criminal element. Black and white!

Yes, things are that bad. Bring in the mercenaries. And, don't be silly in thinking that this I'd an ancient tactic. It's used everyday quite successfully in orderly communities.

That's why KCK is going broke paying stupid ass salaries like that to public high school grads that can't read. KCMO problem is the nigger mayor and nigger police chief don't wanna use the bully pulpit or billy clubs they have to straighten out the community. Cause if they do they the east side grifters get cut off at the trough and will have to find real work. Niggers, fucking things up for whitey since the 1800's.

Yael doesn't know what he's talking about.

Yael is a dope-smoking-hippie-dick-sucking liberal. I will never by the KC Star because of him. Actually, the only reason I would even put my hands on that paper is to wipe my ass.

The KCPD is so underpaid and behind on salary raises it is pathetic.

Bring in chinese mercs. They will not mess awound with bwack man cwiminal. They would not understand how man can wear he pants under his butt.

Oh we could use a trained force of Chinese mercenaries cleaning up our urban core. Or they could consult the municipal megamind glorioso for the plan to stop the killings.

Yael is going to feel very stupid soon. Its obvious he didn't bother to do any investigating prior to spitting out this dribble.

YAel is an idiot.

You have proven you're own ignorance by your statements therefore giving you're argument no validity. Good job.

Your use of racial slurs does no one any good. Just stop. Especially if you're trying to argue in favor for the PD.

Just curious as to what your profession is...

Yael was complaining about that too. Where were you?
