FOX4: “We told them they had two minutes the first time and said, ‘You have to get out of the highway’ Then we gave two more minutes. We’ve been more than fair with them,” said Kansas City, Mo. police chief Darryl Forte.
Protestors chant "shut it down" and other catchy phrases . . . Tell us what you think of today's effort from a diverse mix of local protestors . . .
Say it again, better that people are out there doing something than sitting at home complaining.
ReplyDeleteI think that it's time for the police to meet with these protestors and ask them what they want. How committed are they to change that they will commit to working on policy rather than just getting media attention.
ReplyDeleteSTAND UP Kc!
ReplyDeleteDo you think they really got money to pay for their legal bills?
ReplyDeleteI SAW RAGE ON THE INTERNET
ReplyDeleteDID YOU SEE RAGE ON THE INTERNET
A THING HAPPENED
TKC groupie has probably been reading every day for years and love/hating every minute of it.
DeleteYea dude, you keep saying that but you been on this blog all week.
ReplyDeletelet the cops quit policing in the getto and see if that make those people happy. serves them rite
ReplyDeleteIt's a real shame that these people don't know they're being taken advantage of.
ReplyDeleteSaw the rage? What ! Did your teeny wieny get all hard again? Don't be scared, little man. It will go away.
ReplyDeleteBut go ahead and check in again if you get upset. TKC.com is here for you
KC needs to get serious about fines for these people. No more wasting police resources. The fines need to be representative of what this is costing Kansas City to pay for protecting these people against traffic and themselves. The overtime billed to our city has been ridiculous but needed. Thanks for letting me post this comment TKC. I have tried to complain to the Star but they don't want to hear it. They would rather ignore these protest than confront them with some facts. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteSo protesters who is the Police Chief? Who is on the Police Board?
ReplyDeleteWho selects the Police Commissioners?
How many of you know when and where to file a kcpd complaint? Who is the Director of that office?band who selected her? How many complaints were filed? What was the outcome of each one?
Don't have time to do the research?
I don't have time for you.
Out of the way!! I am driving through!
tho a Nam vet, I used to go to anti-war rallies .. just to hook up with blonde hippie chicks.
ReplyDeletethese days, giggly White democrat "males" join "kill the cops" rallies..
- to hook up with well-endowed homies.
This is just the beginning of the down fall of our nation. People don't produce, they just protest.
ReplyDeleteI heard someone saw RAGE on the Internet.
ReplyDeleteTrue?
I agree with the protesters. Police across the nation need to be brought under control.
ReplyDeleteWhat I see and hear on TV is a flock of barely literate shit heels attempting to disrupt tax payer's rights to drive down the street or attend an event. Just like Michael Brown would disrupt a hard working American from running his business free from thugery. I see a bunch of white bums holding signs saying "Black Lives Matter" when the overwhelming majority of people killed by police are fucking white. Clearly these people are ignorant. The only thing they are making me aware of is that here is a pack of ass clowns that are too fucking dumb to function in the real world without supervision.
ReplyDeleteStart dumping clouds of pepper spray. You start fucking with people going to work, blue collar truck drivers, the mail, and emergency vehicles and you're not a protester. You're a public menace.
ReplyDeleteAPPLAUSE for 5:18, 5:23, 5:26 comments!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou said, "tell us what you think."
I think that these protesters likely have a low IQ, are easily manipulated, are impulsive, identify themselves as victims, and have vastly misdirected their anger and frustration towards the wrong target!
Targeting the KCPD, KCMO drivers, and other groups who had NOTHING to do with events in Ferguson and NYC, is like assaulting your mailman because your bank made a mistake on your latest monthly statement!
All around the country, many people of color feel some kind of twisted obligation to join a protest movement. This is primarily a guilt trip placed upon them by the social leaders in their community attempting to solidify the leader's power base at the expense of their followers. It's an example of same-race exploitation. Nationally, most know that this is the specialty of folks like Sharpton, Jackson, Obama, Holder, etc. Locally, people such as Gwen Grant, "bishop" Caldwell, Congressman Carwash, many political/faith leaders, etc., are more than happy to benefit from exploiting their flock. Honestly, it's disgraceful predatory behavior.
For a thoughtful, logic-based examination of the events in Ferguson, NYC, and other interesting topics, please see "Stefan Molyneux channel" at YouTube.com
Philosophy for the masses!
Don't the black people resent that it's mostly white protestors?
ReplyDeleteTwo cops executed in NY City.
ReplyDeleteAl Sharpton, Obama, Holder etc.
This is no surprise.
Sickening
The anarcho Mayor of New York should be strung up.
ReplyDeleteThis is the same bunch of whites that listen to rap music. They really want to be black, but can't cut it in any culture.
ReplyDeleteMichelle Obama to present posthumous Presidential Medal to killer of 2 NYPD cops.
ReplyDeleteLook at that fucking scumbag Mayor.
ReplyDeleteDeBlasio is scum.
God those cops must hate him.
That fuckin worm is squirming now.
Listen to the fucking lying scumbag. He KNOWS HE KILLED THEM.
ReplyDeleteI see the protests. I have yet to hear what they hope to accomplish or what goals they have. A sign saying all cops are killers is as smart as saying all protesters are douche bags. How many people have been killed by the police this year? How many were armed or presenting a threat when they died? How many were really victims? If you don't know the answers, get out of the street. ALL LIVES MATTER.
ReplyDeleteThe killer sure had his hands up with a fuckin gun in them.
ReplyDeleteDeBlasio, Holder, Obama and these scumbag protesters who worship thugs like Michael Brown and the sub human culture that accompanies it wanted dead cops and now they got them.
Filthy fuckin liars
The Chief of Police is Chief Daryl Forte. The Police Board of commissioners consists of 5 members. Four are appointed by the Governor and Senate, plus the Mayor. We currently only have 3 appointed members, Alvin Brooks (former police officer), Michael Rader (former prosecutor) and Angela Wasson-Hunt (Police Retirement and other police foundations).
ReplyDeleteA citizen can file a complaint with certain neighborhood advocacy groups (ad hoc, northland neighborhoods), in person at any of the police stations, or online.
The Board of Police Commissioners appoints a citizen group named the Board of Community Complaints. They are charged with protecting the police from complaints and accept complaints from the public.
The BOPC doesn't seem to be stacked with those sympathetic to the LEO community, like former cops, or prosecutors. And the Office of Community Complaints, which is appointed by these unbiased commissioners, works steadfastly in the tireless pursuit of justice.
The outcomes of this appointed panel are available only in person. In order to receive such info you must identify yourself, and request the information in person.
Block an interstate , impede peoples progress who have nothing to do with the police, endanger lives by possibly causing a wreck.......This has what to do exactly with Ferguson or police conduct? Here's an idea. Go to the police station downtown, chain yourselves to the doors, chain yourselves to police cars. Of course there will be some down to the pink meat head peeling. But it's for The Cause, right?
ReplyDeleteThe reason there is so little support for this "cause' is the public sees the cowardice in the protests. They target businesses, private citizens, those without the ability to defend themselves from the mob..It almost sounds like the same tactics the police are accused of. The difference is, the cops are generally doing their jobs, the protesters dont HAVE jobs.
6:53 I can't honestly answer your question because no comprehensive statistics are kept on Police involved shootings. They are self reported, and aren't subject to a uniform reporting standard which accurately reflects the nature of the polcie shootings. But I would join you in a call for transparent reporting of such incidents.
ReplyDeleteLet me ask you, since you expect so much research from your opponents.
1. How many cops were killed in KC this year in shootings?
2. How many cops were killed in KC last year in shootings?
3. How many cops were killed in KC in the last 30 years in shootings?
4.What is the rate per 100,000 of of cops killed in the line of duty in shootings?
5. Which is more dangerous per 100,000? To be a police officer or a citizen of Kansas City?
Answers: 1)0 2)0 3)0 4) Approx 5.5 5)citizen of Kansas City
7:13
ReplyDeleteWell, it is pretty fucking dangerous in New York today.
These filthy animals will pop the top on some Colts tonight and celebrate dead cops and the erosion of the rule of law.
Run those fuckers down on 71.
Al Sharpton is running the country and his "Demons" are on the moor tonight.
Sub Human animals.
So have any of these protesters had and meeting with the police dept? Guess not they are in it for the TV and nothing else . They don't think about the people who might get hurt or the people who might lose their job if some crazy sets a building on fire.
ReplyDelete7:18
ReplyDeleteNew York is not really "pretty fucking dangerous", not in a city of over 8 million with a police force of some 40,000 sworn officers. This was the first two Officers killed in a shooting this year.
That brings the shooting death rate to 5 per 100,000 still lower than the national average. So being an officer of the NYPD is actually safer than expected.
7:21 how about dealing in reality instead of hypotheticals. was there an unreported fire that was displaced?
ReplyDeletethese cop lovers live in some never never land where cops are being shot down left and right. its all fear mongering, they can't produce one piece of credible evidence. they try to quibble over some thug in STL when that thug isn't the issue, and divert from the issue that in 2014 its not as dangerous to be a cop as the police unions and FOP would like you to think.
ReplyDeletepeople are looking at facts and not liking what they see.
The Progressive Liberal movement has a couple of new feathers in their hats.
ReplyDeleteThousands have marched thru the streets of NYC screaming
"what do we want?"
"Dead cops"
"when do we want it?"
"NOW!!!!!!!!!!:"
Thanks to the President, the Attorney General, Mayor DeBlasio and a legion of "journalists" with the aid of worms like Al Jesse and the lemmings who support them those NYC cops are dead.
Fuck Michael "Gentle Giant" Brown and Eric "Resisting Arrest, Fat Ass Diabetic" Garner.
What the fuck is wrong with people who condone attacking a police office then blaming the police?
ReplyDeleteThey were saying they were going to do what happened in NYC today. Im not sure what it meant but Im sure it isn't good.
ReplyDeletePolice are out of control when it comes to interacting with the citizenry. It doesn't matter what color you are. Beat downs of innocent folks are happening all over the metro. More lawsuits will be filed. More dirty cops exposed.
ReplyDeleteSharpton launches new protest over the cop=killer shooting himself --
ReplyDeleteclaiming it was his fear of racist police brutality that caused him to eat his gun.
8:40 Eat shit and die you Liberal, filth. Go hang off of Al Sharpton's ball sack where you belong.
ReplyDeletewe need reform of our police, that is the real answer. the citizens need to take back their democracy back and involve the community. the rest is just angry blather.
ReplyDeletewho is condoning attacking the police, 8:19? I haven't read that in any of the comments. more hyperbole. no one should be attacked cop or citizen. if anything I am reading alot of comments condoning attacking citizens.
ReplyDeleteTime to use real bullets on these idiots
ReplyDeleteWhat needs reform are laws. you don't change them on I-70 morons.
ReplyDeleteyou want the real truth. Read Mark Smith's posts and CML. I can only give TKC credit for starting the discussion.
ReplyDeletethe Obama voting cop-killer in Brooklyn didn't even find racist Republican White Po-Pos to whack --
ReplyDeletehe executed officers - Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos-
NAACP said they'd still name him their "Person of the Year" , anyway.
Forward.
Dear Mr. Tony: Thanks for posting this info!! Incidentally, this new civil rights movement may have, literally in a matter of hours, changed its slogan!! As we know, the slogan had been "No justice, no peace." Now, this is a rather unsubtle threat of violence, as we all know, but no one dared to say so for fear of being accused of racism. Well, at 3PM EST today two cops from the NYPD were killed--apparently by a gunman angry about the Michael Borwn and Eric Garner tragedies. Later today a democnstration took place at the Mall os the Americas in Minnesota: The new slogan? "No justice, no shopping." As someone who believes that we are blessed to live in a country where people do not have to resort to violence to get justice, I am delighted with this change!! I hope that the movement drops its former slogan and takes up this new one. Take care!! Sincerely and Respectfully, Ernest Evans
ReplyDeleteKC = Detroit
ReplyDeleteI agree there should be uniform reporting of deadly force encounters with the police. Stats should include if the citizen is armed or assaulting the officer or others.
ReplyDeleteGlad that no KC cops have been killed in gun battle in 30 years. However I know cops have been shot/shot at lots. Maybe their training, vests, and great ER docs get the credit for the saves, not the fact that the baddies did not try hard enough.
As for who citizens need to fear, there are 781 homicides so far in KC. How many by cops? How many by other citizens? Who do you fear?
I am unaware of a mass of lawsuits getting filed or won. If a bad cop exists, and I am sure there are some, they should be addressed, but to paint them all with the same brush does not do society any good.
We live in a constitutional republic, not a democracy...thank goodness. Pure democracy is mob rule. The signs "this is what democracy looks like" at many protests are the best advertisement for why pure democracy is not something you really want. The definition of justice, rights, etc will change with the wind and emotion as opposed to logic and rational thought.
A wise person has said that our system may be dysfunctional at times, but still better than anything else out there.
Opps my bad, it is meant to be 71 homicides, not 781.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your opinion, cop's mommy.
ReplyDeleteNow the scum have murdered outright two cops in New York.
ReplyDeleteAll the Cop Haters have a share of the blood on their hands for pumping up the Hate.
What about it, Tony?
I appreciate the cops keeping these people off the highways. Do you have any idea the damage hitting one of these people can do to a car? Especially if the car is a compact and the person is obese?
ReplyDeleteJust shoot the mother fuckers and really give them something to bitch about.
ReplyDelete9:49. Everyone who is against officer Wilson. We was attacked by Michael Brown.
ReplyDeleteTime to use some snow plows to open more than icy roads
ReplyDeleteTo my friend ERnest Evans at 11:30 comment. Was that actually you who wrote:

As you know, I am NOT sympathetic to the protesters in Ferguson, NYC, Oakland, etc., who I strongly feel are ignorant of the facts in these cases. While I concur that a move away from physical violence is positive, let us remember that a "No Shopping" protester who attempts to impede others from conducting commerce by blocking entrances, laying down, etc., is also committing a form of violence against retail business owners, buyers, distributors and manufacturers.
In related topics, let me get your thoughts upon a few topics which come to mind:
1) While rarely thought of this way, isn't it true that Western culture is largely based upon violence, or it's implied use, to extract benefits for those in power.
2) Do you not voluntarily pay taxes because of an implied threat from the government?
3) How do you explain a politician like E. Cleaver, a reverend who purports to promote "civility", yet whose words and actions oftentimes encourage uncivil behavior among those foolish enough to heed his call?
4) Hasn't the NFL done more to promote physical violence across the country for decades, than these recent misguided anti-police protesters? Note that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was paid $105 million for the 2008--2012 seasons.
As always, thank you for your comments.
The Prophet
1:05 "a form of violence against retail business owners, buyers, distributors, and manufacturers"???????? The very definition of violence contradicts you statement. What definition of violence are you using?
ReplyDelete1:15 comment
ReplyDelete"Violence" as in.....acting purposely to harm, damage, and/or destroy the means by which one earns their living.
Example: protesters who try to shut down a business operate in a similar manner to those practicing extortion, intimidation, etc., against a business owner.
7:42, you couldn't be more wrong. I am neither a cop, so not a member of FOP, nor a retired cop. But I can tell you it's a lot more dangerous to be a cop in 2014 with 120+ cop murders so far this year (not including the two NYPD officers) than in 2013 when there were about 100. 2014 has been the deadliest year for cops since the early 1940s. So it's not cop lovers and the FOP twisting facts. These are the facts.
