TKC EXCLUSIVE AND BREAKING NEWS!!! KANSAS CITY ACTIVIST ALONZO WASHINGTON CALLS OUT DISPARITY IN COVERAGE OF WHITE TEEN TASER VICTIM!!!



Police tactics have been hotly debated since the uprising in Ferguson, Missouri, and now a local controversy over an Independence, MO police taser incident features an additional point of contention.

To wit . . .

KANSAS CITY ACTIVIST ALONZO WASHINGTON NOTES DISPARITY IN PUBLIC OUTRAGE AND MEDIA COVERAGE OF A WHITE TEEN TASER VICTIM VS. SO MANY ALLEGATIONS OF POLICE BRUTALITY IN THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY!!!

Recently, Mr. Washington's Twitter revealed some important insights on the topic. Take a look:

Regarding recent FBI Investigation: "The FBI has never done this in any KC slaying of a Black person by the cops! Why? "

A note of goodwill even among debate over public policy: "I pray Bryce Masters survives. If he was Black no 1 would care in KC!"

Compare and contrast from Mr. Washington:



An important passage that sums up criticism from Mr. Washington: "KC citizens & press hates Black killers more than whites ones. That's so racist & stupid. They do the same thing: Kill."

The bright side of this story is that media is making it clear that community concern regarding public interaction with police crosses demographic lines.

However . . .

LIKE IT OR NOT, MR. WASHINGTON IS CORRECT THAT MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS MAKING A BIGGER DEAL OUT OF THESE WHITE METH TOWN COMPLAINTS AGAINST POLICE WHEN SIMILAR URBAN CORE MINORITY CONCERNS HAVE BEEN MOSTLY IGNORED!!!

Over the years, Mr. Washington has shown a long-term commitment to working toward community cooperation with authorities. Hopefully, this recent wave of concern regarding law enforcement tactics from the press and public will also result in more participation.

  1. TKC, you need to say that the real difference here isn't between black and white but rich v. poor and the powerful against the powerless. That is the message that KC still can't understand after all these years.

  2. Two things:

    There is a reason this story is bigger news than usual. It involves a teen. When young people are hurt there is a bigger call for answers from the public.

    And the coverage is going national, it's not just KC any more.

  7. Shockingly, I agree with Alouseo for once - if it had been a negro that got tazed, nobody would care. Alouseo, you're exactly right. The reason for that is because empathy comes from respect, and respect is something that is earned, not given. In nearly 150 years, the coloreds still haven't gotten their act together enough to earn respect. Don't get me wrong; I'm not saying there are no white menaces to society. However, the number of them pales in comparison to criminal negroes. When the colored population gets it together and can conduct themselves like civilized human beings, then they might begin receiving some empathy when it's warranted. Until then, stop whining.

    1. You, Tony, and Al-bozo are all either stupid, baiters, full of sh!t, or all three. If this same thing would have happened to a black, minor age, male this would have blown up just as much, if not more, in light of Ferguson. That it's receiving the amount of attention know is because of the questions raised about police tactics and levels of aggression.
      I read the story. Apparently this youth was pulled over because of a plate run and an association between the vehicle and the owner. I have a feeling that the officer involved simply didn't taze the youth because the person with the warrant wasn't in the car. What say that the youth involved ran his mouth more than necessary. I'd even wage a bet that he's had issues in the past with authorities and was even emboldened by the protest in Ferguson against the police.

  13. The real disparity, since Butt Head Alonzo mention it, is that you don't see folks burning down the damn town or throwing a big block party and march. Why don't black folks ever march when a white kid is murdered?

  16. Just remember: A helmet is military equipment, but a taser isn't. In spite of hundreds of deaths and injuries attributed to the taser, police still insist it is a non lethal compliance tool.

    BTW has anyone gotten an answer on why this kid was being arrested since he, in fact, had no warrants?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Tawk to da hand Bullshitonzo.

    Please look at the web siten 8:45 AM that is an absolute true police beat down for a reporter asking for a complaint form.

    No shit and the Indep Police have a long history of abuse.

    I know of a time when a kid had pocket knife in his yard and was shot an killed by the Indep police because he was brabdishing a weapon.

  18. White animal should have been shot to death. Just because he was unarmed doesnt mean he wasnt dangerous right Tony? Im sure you can manage you drum up some disgruntled teacher to justify this cop like you did in the Mike Brown shooting. After all these people are naturally violent unlike us good mexicans right tony?

    1. The way people are carrying on, you’d think there’s never a time when an unarmed man could pose a lethal threat to an armed man. Leftwing blogs have spent all week telling us that unarmed people are shot by police officers on a relatively frequent basis. They’re right, but they’re wrong when they try to paint this dynamic in a cartoonish, simplistic, “cops are always bad and racist, and suspects are always good and innocent” light. There are many reasons why a law enforcement officer might have cause to shoot an unarmed man — the first being the rather obvious fact that cops don’t always know that the unarmed man is an unarmed man.

      Are we really now suggesting that police officers should wait until they’re shot at to shoot back? What sort of maniac would ever become a cop if he had to adhere to those regulations? Being a police officer can be dangerous work; I, for one, don’t think it ought to be suicidal.

      Another convincing reason to shoot an unarmed man might be when the man in question is about the size of a professional offensive lineman. Michael Brown was 6’4″ and close to 300 pounds, which makes him only a bit smaller than the average guard or tackle at this year’s NFL scouting combine.

      Have you ever been physically assaulted by a 300 pound man? I haven’t, but I’m willing to believe that the experience could be fatal.

      Now, if Brown was shot with his hands up, or if Brown was shot while fleeing, then his size is of no consequence. But it’s hard to believe that so many people truly think his size was of no consequence even if he was attempting to attack the officer.

      There’s another point that must be raised here: nobody has any right to physically assault another human being, including a cop. Moreover, nobody, including a cop, has any responsibility to get pummeled or throttled by an assailant. If you try to harm an armed man or woman, you might get shot. This is not cruelty. This is self-preservation, and it is just. Again, we don’t know that Brown showed any hostility at all. If he didn’t, then Officer Wilson should be charged and tried. But I’m disturbed by the amount of people who seem to believe that, even if Brown did attack, he didn’t “deserve” to get shot.

  19. There is seemingly no end to the abuse dished out bu the thugs at IPD. I remember the school teacher they laid out in the middle of I-70 because J.C. Penneys called them as he vehicle matched another supicious vehicle. That was another case where IPD insisted their officers followed policy and then turned around and made a whopping settlement.

    Then there was the veteran who they had four officers on and tased him over and over even after he had submitted to the bastards.

    Ths is the problem with these laws that allow this shit to happen. If there is a loop hole anywhere there is always some dumb fuck government employee who will abuse it. They need to take the tasers away, stop the bullshit of beating up and arresting innocent people just because they don't kiss a cop's ass. Last time I checked there is no law against freedom of speech and who would not be pissed being pulled over and screwed with by some Type "A" ass hole when you have not done anything wrong?

  20. 9:27 & 9:34, whats really sad is that, that kind of behavior is what actually causes change and actually gets some results. It leaves people like us who refuse to act like that feeling rather helpless. Look for this incident to get whitewashed and swept under the rug. nothing to see here.

  21. 10:07 don'f forget the MOST egregious actions in the Chris Cooper case. A young boy who was just a bystander to a police chase was run down by IPD. If you ever wonder what is in their hearts you only need to listen to the audio. Over his gurgling breath you hear the officers laughing and saying these cockroaches won't die. He was just an innocent bystander, not a criminal. They couldn't even call an ambulance for the kid.

    1. Resisting arrest, not complying with an order, and let's not forget, according to witness statements, he kicked at the officer.
      See, before I ran my mouth, I did a little investigating...read news reports, multiple outlets. Then stated an opinion, unlike those with a chip on their shoulder towards Law enforcement, based on those statements. When this youths Eagle Scout leader or the high schools National Honor Society sponsor comes out describing how this was outside of his character then maybe I should dig deeper.

  25. What does it take for you ass clowns to grasp that the police did not write the constitution, write their own laws or have the authority to touch anyone just because they feel like it. It is butt sniffing scupless cowards that have allowed this shit to happen in this country. I might get my ass kicked for refusing to give up my rights, but I guarantee you will be able to count the nights before I get my fucking payback.

    No hoodlum in uniform is going to make up his own justice and get away with trying it out on me or my family. I am willing to pay the price. Too bad so many Americans will hand over their freedom to a thug for the sake of peace.

  26. Bottom Line:
    Blacks Constitute aprx. 10% of the US population.

    Of the roughly 6000 murders nationally in 2012, almost HALF -- 2700 -- were committed by blacks. Mostly against other blacks.

    So 10% committing almost half of the murders. And very similar statistics all the way down the violent crime list.

    THIS IS WHY there are more black traffic stops, more black arrests, a higher percentage of blacks in prison, etc. etc. BLACKS ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY TO BEING DOING THE CRIME!!! STATS DON'T LIE!!!

    This ISN'T the WHITE MAN putting down the Black Man. THIS IS FUCKING REALITY.

    DO YOU GET THAT GARBONZO??? DO YOU FUCKING GET THAT??????

  31. One of the kids who witnessed the incident was on fox4 this morning, He said the kid wouldnt get out of the car and when cops tried to take him out of the car he "blocked them with his feet" or for those of you in Sugar creek, the kid kicked or kicked at the cops. That alone will get you tazed. As for Alonzo, the press has finally gotten a clue and quit dealing with him. If not for Tony, Zo would be adrift on the river of denial in his one man douche canoe.

  32. Why was the kid being taken into custody in the first place? Are we now subject to incarceration just for shits and grins?

    Here's what Mr. Justice has to say about the whole ordeal in one of his tweets:

    "I'm 100% sure that none of the friends of Bryce cared when they heard about the cops killing a black man last or Michael Brown."

    Way to perpetuate racism, you fucking twat. Do you know what a fucking red herring is? A fucking logical fallacy, dumb ass. Wait, I forgot you don't have an ounce of it other than an agenda. Thank God no one important or with power takes you seriously.

  37. Yeah I heard about it. The ADULT had just comitted a felony robbery, had just violently assaulted a police officer and tried to get his gun and then charged the officer in spite of lawful orders to cease and submit to police custody. I have not seen any evidence that the police officer attacked the felon before being assaulted. Apples and Oranges.

    ReplyDelete
  38. The car the kid was driving came back with a warrant on the cars owner. Its been on the news and reported as such. The cops need to ascertain if the driver is that person. If you wont respond when pulled over in a car with a warrant connected to it, what are the cops supposed to do? When asked to step out of the car, and you refuse, what do you suggest the cops do? Maybe the kid didnt do anything personally up to the time of the stop. Common sense says the cops didnt just taze this kid for shits a grins. I hope he comes out of this healthy, but he isnt just some innocent that the cops decided to taze for no reason. Same with Mike Brown in Ferguson. If you feel the police are harassing you, illegally stopping you, or infringing on your rights, file a complaint or lawsuit, trying to hold court in the street wont have a good outcome. Full disclosure, as a convicted felon my car and person generally get searched when I get stopped. I never give consent to search, but I do so politely, because Im not a dumb ass. Ive yet to be shot, beaten, tazed, or water-boarded.

  41. First the arrest has to be legal. What was the offense? Second, the order has to be lawful, and not obeying is not grounds for use of unreasonable force. The witness on fox4 said the kid put his feet up to block the (aggressive) officer. Where did anyone say the kid kicked the officer? Again, what crime occurred that the kid was being arrested for? What was the offense that equates to a kid landing in critical condition. That runt is incapable of putting up much of an offense - just look at him. Now why wouild a father who is a police officer himself become outraged at the questionable circumstances here? It is obvious that there are some who think there are no rouge cops in Independence. I invite you to continue to do your homework and look at the myriad of IPD complaints and videos online. If you are still in denial as to the culture of this police department I would suggest you sample the attitude and demeanour of some of the immature officers. That sad part is that IPD most seasoned and experienced officers sit on their asses at the HQ while a heard consisting of several overly aggressive 20 somethings run the streets.

  42. You can detained which is not the same as under arrest. There was a warrant connected to the car. The cops are obligated to investigate to ascertain if that person is driving or in the car. You anti cop people are either willfully ignorant or just cherry picking the parts of the story that suit you. I live in INDEPENDENCE, a convicted felon no less, never had issues with IPD. There are dick head cops, firefighters and dishwashers, however every incident when force is used, is not police misconduct.

    ReplyDelete
  43. It does not matter if a hundred warrants were associated with the vehicle tags. It is the officers responsibility to make the right decisions when he makes a stop. When he jerked open the car door and saw that the driver was a male he immediately knew that the male was not the wanted party. Did he ask for ID or a license or did he proceed to scream and holler at the kid then escalate the situation out of control through his adrenalin fueled actions?

    Now the officer has the obligation to investigate, but there is absolutely no requirement for the kid to cooperate, unless the Supreme Court is full of crap. Once the officer determined that the kid was not going to answer questions or cooperate he was required to let the kid go about his business. In this case the officer skipped those steps and got right down to tasering someone for pissing him off. Now we have a critical kid who apparently broke no laws whatsoever, unless getting under a hot headed cop's skin has suddenly become a capital offense and justice is administered on the streets.

    This is a case of a cop running tags, getting all excited that he had a good collar and then getting pissed when it became obvious that it is possible that the wanted PERSON was not in the car. He could have easily asked the kid where the owner was, but instead felt foolish because of his own short sided thinking and then, instead of deescalating he continued with his hostile posture.He then fucked up big time.

  46. Maybe the car was to be impounded or searched pertaining to an ongoing investigation relating to the warrant. Maybe not, fact of the matter we dont have all of the facts but you rush to judgement to accuse the police of misconduct. did the kid present his license?You seem to suggest he isnt required to present his license during a traffic stop. If so, you are as stupid as Toni Bones.Ask her how no DL worked out? No matter how well reasoned your argument might be, it becomes tainted by your obvious disdain for law enforcement.

    The IPD has already communicated that the warrant was related to an alleged traffic offense in Kansas City. I see you are really doing your homework now.

    The you infer that I am wrong for suspecting the actions of the police officer and don't have the facts, while stating your own support for the police officer when you have little to NO facts to work with. Your credibility sucks pal. What you are communicating is that if I don't agree with your uninformed opinion I am wrong, but you are right. I'd suggest that qualifies you as a certified ass hat.
