TKC MUST READ!!! NORTHEAST NEWS CONFRONTS MAYOR SLY JAMES ON POLICE BUDGET CUTS VS. GUN LAW CRACKDOWN!!!
Kansas City Mayor Sly James recently penned startling declaration of his intention to "double down" on efforts to restrict gun owners and push forward gun ownership "reforms" among the Missouri General Assembly in Jefferson City.
However . . .
IN AN EPIC TREATISE THE NORTHEAST NEWS TAKES ON MAYOR SLY JAMES AND CONFRONTS HIS ANTI-GUN AGENDA WITH COLD, HARD FACTS!!!
Take a look:
Northeast News: We’ll keep ours, Mr. Mayor
Money line . . .
"The Mayor, in his 714-word missive, talks a lot about neighbors working with the various agencies that make Kansas City safer. What he fails to mention, however, is that he and the City Council approved drastic cuts to the police budget two years running, severely hindering law enforcement from effectively doing their job of combating violent crime. One day last week there were less than ten officers on the streets on the day shift in all of East Patrol, the city’s busiest and arguably most violent police zone. Telling the general public to work with the tools in the city’s toolbox to make their communities safer, then systematically stealing the tools from the box is not a successful strategy. There’s a reason violent crime and homicides are on the rise. Do the math."
Read the whole thing because it's a point-by-point refutation of policy that not only guides the Mayor's office but also has found support from the Jackson County prosecutor while Kansas City's rate of violence and murder continues to increase.
You decide . . .
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.
ReplyDeleteWhat are his views on unsolicited bulk email?
ReplyDelete^^^ Depends on who is paying.
ReplyDeleteThe point that Bushnell makes about Sly's security is his best. If the Mayor wants to talk about taking away guns from people, let's see him give up his armed police escorts. Typical political hypocrisy.
ReplyDeleteArmed police escorts for everyone!!
ReplyDeleteAnother excellent article from Mike Bushnell. He should be working for the Star as its token conservative, instead of the execrable Steve Rose (the Star's David Brooks).
ReplyDeleteExcellent "article" from Fact Free Land. Where multiple years of consecutive budget increases is a "massive cut". The Northeast News is a teabag rag out of touch with the politics of actual Northeast residents, and devoid of news. It's a vanity project for one man's opinions/agenda funded by Snyders ads.
ReplyDelete^^^ I see the mayor's office finally checked into work today. Thanks for the update guys. Sorry you had to do just a little work before your 3 hour lunch break.
ReplyDeleteGun control in a failed city next door to a state where anybody can buy a gun anytime. Yeah, that's bound to succeed.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't Sly have a security detail. If so are they armed with balloons and candy to hand out?
ReplyDeleteThe problem is Sly won't read the Northeast News. He will just keep talking as he finds security in hearing his voice.
ReplyDeleteIs Bushnell related to the people that make gun scopes?
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised the mayor's office had time to check in and write about their dismay to Bushnell's article. Have you ever tried to jazz up $27 million to friends and family? Got to be totally exhausting!
ReplyDeleteWhile the Northeast News is indeed Bushnell's ego trip, he is spot on with this topic.
ReplyDeleteThe Mare and Shitty Council have proven since (forever???) throwing money to contractors and the right-reverend-grifters isn't the same as patrols on the street?
No shit the mayor doesn't read Northeast News. No one does. Kind of like this blog. The only thing keeping it alive is paid "content" from Glazer, Show Me and a couple "kick-ass" tips from Heather Hall (that she got hand fed from Dan Coffey, 4th District super-minority voice) and the lowest rung of the Jackson County rumor mill hell.
ReplyDeleteShit, even Teresa Loar quit feeding Tony spin after she got worried somebody would catch her or Terry Riley's hand in the cookie jar.
Snicker. Keep telling yourself that. It must help with the catastrophe unfolding among the clown/grifter class at City Hall.
DeleteHow's that new mayor and police chief working out for ya?
