TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! DISCRIMINATION CASE EMBROILS KCPD IN RACIAL TENSION!!! NEW ACCUSATIONS OF RETALIATION AND INTIMIDATION ARISE!!!
More than anything, it's my hope that by posting on the topic of A KCPD RACIAL DISCRIMINATION CASE AND THE ENSUING CONTROVERSY this (dumb) blog will help to create a neutral and OPEN forum which understands that the Kansas City Police Department is the most important resource of our community and the challenges faced within the organization impact EVERYONE in this town.
Now . . .
READ EXCLUSIVE TKC TIPSTER TESTIMONY REGARDING INSIDER DETAILS OF AN ONGOING KCPD DISCRIMINATION CASE!!!
More than a year ago KICK-ASS TKC TIPSTERS BROKE NEWS of the case and we were pretty much the only media outlet to cover the controversy.
It's on Casenet for everybody to see but few newsies dare to follow-up on the details.
1116-CV32742 - CHAD RIVES V RANDALL HUNDLEY ET AL (E-CASE)
Now here's the message sent my way . . .
1116-CV32742 - CHAD RIVES V RANDALL HUNDLEY ET AL (KC Board Of Police Commissioners )
Depositions are underway regarding the upcoming civil trial against Deputy Chief Randall Hundley, Major Floyd Mitchell, and Deputy Chief Kevin Masters. Several members of the Investigations Bureau and other bureaus have been called in to depose their knowledge of the allegations.
In my years in law enforcement, I have given several depositions for criminal cases in front of defense attorneys. Neither I nor any other cop I know has ever had the defendant present during the deposition.
In the depositions given by several KCPD department members, TOP RANKING KCPD OFFICIALS sat across the table from them, staring them down the entire time. This was a blatant attempt at intimidation. Keep in mind that THESE ARE TOP RANKING OFFICIALS in the Investigations Bureau, and the Violent Crimes Division. These two civil defendants positioned themselves across the table from witnesses against them, but below them in their chain of command.
Despite the allegations of racism and corruption that have been launched against TOP KCPD OFFICIALS, our current chief has chosen to promote them both. This further alleges corruption among top command staff of the KCPD.

Again, we know this stuff is important so we don't want to screw around . . . I've edited the names concerning direct allegations out of this message and it's not because of ingratitude but because I haven't yet had a chance to confirm independently . . . Yet. Also, all city orgs have a standing policy that they won't discuss ongoing litigation. But off the record, what you see posted does check out with multiple sources . . . Who, for obvious reasons, want to stay off the record.
But I can confirm this . . .
ALLEGATIONS OF DISCRIMINATION AGAINST LOWER RANKING WHITE OFFICERS AND ENSUING RACIAL TENSION AMONG ALL KCPD EMPLOYEES REMAINS ONE OF THE TOP CONCERNS AMONG KCPD INSIDERS!!!
It's my own opinion but one that is shared by KC Insiders that Mayor Sly James isn't helping the situation that's reaching a boiling point.
Now . . . For my own protection and to make sure this TKC Free Speech And Fun Zone sticks around I was advised to take a few precautionary measures on this post and I've done them all. If lawyers, courts or judges want to know the origin of the message they can politely ask Jeff Zuckerburg by way of a $100 message or maybe go see if they can understand the Indian dudes running my e-mail server who speak in a delightfully rich and charming Hindi accent because it has been DELETED from everything I own and control . . . And I've already forgotten even the address of the anonymous re-mailer that might have forwarded it my way.
But more importantly . . . THE TOPIC OF SERIOUS KCPD RACIAL DIVISIONS hasn't even been discussed as we move closer to putting the topic of local police control before voters and Missouri Legislators.
DEVELOPING . . .
Stuff needs to be said.
ReplyDeleteHope they can work this one out.
Like TKC said, for all of our sake.
Damn.
ReplyDeleteSeriously.
ReplyDeleteDetroit (Detoilet) is a cesspool of corruption - from the Mayors Office to the PD to the FD to the City Clowncil to the Water Department. Every office, every level is corrupted by black gangsters.
Look carefully at that city - this is the future of KC. The parallels are stunning.
So much of what is wrong with KC - the crime, the corruption at every level of city government, is a symptom of the same plague that destroyed Detroit.
Wake up.
Take back your cities.
Take back America from the real criminals - the corrupt politicians and career cronies.
Well proves plain and simple that PD is out of control and crime stats prove that.
ReplyDeleteMany know that PD is a mess but for what ever reason nobody has the balls to do something or is afraid for their life to do something. But as I have said on this blog before if the uniform members who know what is wrong and why, would all ban together and make it all very public with all the facts on paper and stand together change will happen. Pissing and moaning about it isn't going to. Get it all out into the open and make it very public make a stand and watch each others back till enough nosie is made and something happens. They can't fire all of you and for sure won't trey to much if the whole world is watching. If not STFU and continue to work in the mess you must care nothing about.
That's an easy question to answer...the media has known about most of allegations in the lawsuit and many others. The hard question is why doesn't the media report it or investigate? Even channel 5 during their tabloid journalism period wouldn't run with these stories. Plenty of cops know the truth but who are you going to tell? The FBI who already let Hundley of the hook once for obstruction of justice? A prosecutors office for refusing to file assault charges after he assaulted a state trooper? You do the math...keep your head down and your mouth shut.
DeleteThe media in kc won't touch any negative story involving a person of color.
DeleteDo the cover up Staff-on-Staff rapes like the Jackson County Sheriff is doing?
ReplyDeleteForce Nigeure*
ReplyDelete*Go look up "Force majeure" and you'll understand.
Basically, they relieve themselves of responsibility or consequences arising from their malfeasance by insisting that external forces beyond their professional control are the cause, and not their own corruption.

There were RED FLAGS popping all over when the process to name the new chief was going on.
ReplyDeleteNow, here the deal... WHERE THE HELL IS THE STATE OF MISSOURI? WHERE IS THE GOVERNOR?
The inconvenient truth is that where ever blacks control a city via the mayor's office, PD and schools, those cities are dying. You liberal assholes out there who call anyone who dares question what blacks do as racism: don't throw Newark at me as an example that I am wrong. So what there is one city where things might be turning around? Name me one city controlled by blacks that is vibrant and growing! This is not racism, facts are not racists. The real racists are the liberal politicians who have destroyed the black community in America.
ReplyDeleteHe's out taking pitcher's of hotel Bathrooms and posting them online ( Fly James)???????? He'll be back after the fight. Smdh
ReplyDeleteLocal control will fix everything, just like Obama did.....SAID NO ONE EVER.
ReplyDeleteRape Cover-up?
ReplyDeleteIts a shame to see such a professional department turned over to a Uncle Tom like Forte. A SHAME
ReplyDeleteKC is fucking up big time.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it will get fixed soon. The guys who are close to retirement won't risk it and they know all of the dirt. The young guys have been taught the new way of staying low and just do the paperwork when it is over because that way you won't upset anybody, the brass or the criminals.
ReplyDelete2:51 nails it. The guys I know who know the story all have just a couple if years left to retirement. They're tired and just want out.
ReplyDeleteAgree with 2:51 but we can't just give up on having a police department. We're paying for them after all.
ReplyDeletei was one of those deposed in this case and the story is absolutely true on both fronts. I have literally given maybe 100 depositions in my career and not once was the defendant present. NEVER.
ReplyDeleteExcept for this instance of course. They just sat there, in my opinion, in an intimidating manner.
Just par for the course with the way the command staff acts. They treat specialized units like their own personal clubs. They make sure the people they want promoted get promoted. And they routinely kick people out of units, for no reason, only to be replaced by their buddies. It's the good old boy system gone wild. Only difference that in today's age it's mostly, not always, but mostly the black commanders playing favorites.
Everyone has worked somewhere where favorites get promoted or get choice assignments...but when that favoritism extends to covering up criminal wrong doing those responsible should be removed. By my count that would mean removing two deputy chiefs, one black, one white. Justice is supposed to be color blind, right?
DeleteWell I hope that everyone that gave a depo did not at all give in to these schmucks! I want to know when a certain commander is going to be federally charged over the BCBS scandal or will he skate once again. Rumor is that his wife is involved as well? Any truth to that one?
ReplyDeleteCorruption in the PD? Illegals protected at the CAN center. Want to find corruption. start there.
ReplyDeleteI heard the Can center is also involved in the BCBS scandal.
ReplyDeleteThis is just the beginning. Out of five deputy chiefs, there is one white male. That's Forte's big middle finger to all the white people on the department. He just promoted Randy Hopkins, who, although a very likeable individual, has been kicked out of assignments at every rank for incompetence. His only qualification for continued promotion...being black. Do you think Hundley would be anything more than a Captain at best if he was white. He beat his wife, who was also on the department at the time, and put her in the hospital with a broken jaw. How many white people would get away with that. Hopkins was moved out of homicide because he was releasing confidential information to his wife, a JACO prosecutor. Forte sexually harassed Sgt. Shelley Volker and had an official complaint filed against him. That was swept under the rug and the State of Missouri has no record of it even happening, which means the department didn't report it as required. Corruption is rampant throughout Forte's administration and will continue to be as long as he's here.
ReplyDeleteGood comments.
ReplyDeleteNothing said, or exposed here will make a fucking difference. This city is OUT OF CONTROL. No This COUNTRY is out of control.
ReplyDeleteI heard Forte sees the writing on the wall and is looking for other employment opportunities. If the kcpd doesnt bring in an outside chief then its gonna wind up under federal receivership control. The number of command staff per capita of officers is skyhigh and the levels of waste in the kcpd is outrageous. The bcbs giftcard scandal does involve hundley and if that guy isnt convicted of this then the whole investigation is a joke. Also, the intelligence unit followed a certain black major of south zone to a motel over in kck and watched him go in a room with a female on duty. Forte found out and swept the whole thing under the rug with a transfer. That is 1 reason no one respects him.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to look at how major El and major Harvey are getting paid 90,000 dollars a year to sit in an office all day and do absolutely nothing but lay low until retirement. That is pure fraud. $90k, a take home car, and literally no responsibilities.
ReplyDeleteWhat u talkin about Willis? How about the hostile work environment that was created by the gang of "8" a few years ago against Sgt Hartgarten (sorry for the misspelling of the name Janet). That incident was also swept under the rug. I think the chef then was Easley. Damn, I was born the wrong color.
ReplyDeleteWhen you watch these NIGGERS in Africa, walking around with clown-like uniforms, feathers all over themselves, crowns and such, you have to come to the conclusion that they are just fucking nuts. The world over, NIGGERS are crazy and just because they end up in charge of the world, they're still fucking NUTS!!
ReplyDeleteKCPD has not served the Kansas City citizens for years. They are an out of control police department and the BOPC is at a loss as to how to bring them under control.
ReplyDeleteKCPD is a shithole.
ReplyDeleteRuined by corruption and self serving commanders.
gang of 8 still protecting that now sgt assigned to community support division. had a stroke over 5 years ago and is not likely to be able to perform all the duties required of a law enforcement officer
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. She shouldve been canned years ago. She cant walk without a cane but she still is on the job? It didnt happen on duty and wasnt duty related. All that time in dare mustve really been too much for her.
DeleteEll and Harvey doing nothing is nothing compared to Captain Haley being allowed to study for the bar exam for six months and have no other responsibilities. He did nothing but study on-duty. ZERO!!!
ReplyDeleteOh I know. All he did was study. Thats it. Then he got a sweet assignment and a law degree. Good for him on the degree but man....
DeleteI'm not defending Haley per se, but what else does a dogwatch captain in north zone really have to do?
ReplyDeleteof course that just goes to the point that the entire PD is way too top heavy to begin with.
When you have 1 major supervising 1 captain who is supervising 1 sergeant who is supervising 1 officer then yeah, id say the kcpd is too top heavy. They are WAY too top heavy. Its borderline ridiculous really.
DeleteKCPD is one corrupt police department
ReplyDeleteWe need a board of police commissioners to supervise the current BOPC to supervise the upper command.
ReplyDeleteGood for you rives! Stick it to those worthless turds!
ReplyDeleteForte HAS to go! The kcpd needs an outside chief now!
ReplyDeleteThe kcpd had its chance to have an outside chief that could have made the necessary changes and not be influenced by the long-term dysfunction that exists there. The bopc, a group of people who have no idea how to run a police department, instead selected a guy who, although a nice guy (at least at the time), had no track record to justify the selection. They passed over the 2 candidates who could have come in, uninfluenced by politics, and made the department much more effective. Instead the bopc failed, I repeat, utterly failed to do their job. And yet they attend each board meeting wearing their little badge, smug and oh so comfortable in their delusion that they actually know what the hell is going on and that they are somehow In control. Their control is pure delusion. You want change, the governor has to actually start selecting board members based on ability, knowledge, and expertise rather than political clout or political advancement. But this won't happen because this is Kansas city, Jackson county, MO and I don't need to explain what that means.
DeleteWell said and totally correct.
Deleteyou fucking morons, civil trial depostions usually have the defendant present.
ReplyDeleteRives for Chief!
ReplyDeleteOf course they have the right to attend the deposition but I disagree with your supposition that defendants are "usually" present at a plaintiff's or a plaintiff's witness' deposition.
ReplyDeleteThe kcpd is very odd. Black commanders there seem to believe, despite the fact that most of them are promoted much earlier in their career than equivalent white commanders, have unlimited opportunity during their career, and make a pretty damn good living, that there is some grand, vast conspiracy against them that they must rectify. I don't know if it's alleged racism or what,but they seem to get promoted to higher levels then decide it's time for payback to rectify the injustices of the past that they, in their mind, had to endure. But why are the targets for retribution selected? Surely, many of these younger officers who were not around when this racism took place had any part in this grand conspiracy. Does it just make black commanders feel better that someone, anyone, pays for the sins of the past, whether culpable or not? Or perhaps they feel that it is their job to root out budding racist and expose them. I tend to believe that they are merely angry about the supposed poor treatment they received from a supposed racist organization and anyone that they determine, based on their warped sense of reality, to be racist will pay the price for the sins of the father. If kcpd is to advance, the chip on the shoulder of many must be removed and these old school commanders with a vendetta and an agenda that has nothing to do with public safety must move on and be replaced with those more enlightened and without a paradigm based on paranoia.
ReplyDeletebeautiful 7:14
ReplyDeleteThis BOPC is completely dysfunctional and has no idea how to direct an organization such as the KCPD. They have showed absolutely no responsibility for choosing a man who has led this department into a hole that will take years to fix.
ReplyDeleteWhen will the BOPC finally step up and hold him accountable for his promotions, indiscretions and poor leadership? The good commanders have no chance of standing up, when the chief will destroy anyone for standing up and speaking against him.
Over the years I have seen many people lose their jobs at kcpd due to it's poor command staff. Now the whole department is suffering as a result of bloated egos and an idiot command staff.
ReplyDeleteKansas City government sucks. It is no different at city hall. Promotions are predetermined and based and girl power and race.
ReplyDeletethe police department has really gone down hill.
ReplyDeleteAs of now, the bopc, forte, corwin, and a few commanders have done damage thatll take years to fix. The poor quality of new hires, promotions of unqualified people, promotion of way too many people, and waste of money for pet projects is setting the kcpd back years. Not to mention the complete hodge podge disaster of computer programs officers/civilians are required to learn that arent compatible and do nothing but make the job nearly impossible. Every time something a commander does gets swept under the rug is one more nail in the coffin of a once proud police dept that will literally take years to correct. If forte doesnt leave and an outside chief, and I mean someone not from the kc metro area, isnt hired then nothing will change and the dept will continue to circle the drain. We are nearing a critical point where the whole house of cards the kcpd is built on will come tumbling down. Mark my words. I see a vote of no confidence in forte in the near future.
ReplyDeleteId take it a step further and have a vote of no confidence in the board of police commissioners, chief forte, and all deputy chiefs.
ReplyDeleteIntimidation and retaliation sound just like the KCPD. Those mutherfuckers would threaten their grandmothers if it meant sucking money out of the system. No way local control of this police department gets passed!
ReplyDeleteKCPD. Polished turds in blue uniforms
ReplyDeleteOnly the command staff.
