TKC MUST READ!!! KANSAS CITY GUNFIRE PROVIDED SOUNDTRACK FOR COUNCILMAN QUINTON LUCAS POLICE RIDE-ALONG!!!
A thoughtful examination of some time with Kansas City Police from a Kansas City Councilman.
Money line . . .
"There are a lot of gunshots fired in our city each night. My host officer liked to have his window partially cracked so that he could hear what was happening. Unfortunately for the community, the sound of gunshots was not rare. I knew this before, but it becomes more impactful when riding with someone tasked with driving towards the sound of gunfire."
Read his post in its entirety here . . .
You decide . . .
Too bad he wasn't hit.
ReplyDeleteHe's just figuring this out?
ReplyDeleteThis isn't happy talk and weather!
ReplyDeleteOk, so I'm supposing it went something like this........
ReplyDeleteCouncilman Lucas (likes to call himself "Q"....James Bond anyone?) contacts TKC basement headquarters and complains that comments have been decidedly negative towards him lately.
He makes his best case for a follow-up "puff piece" to level out the previous criticism. The TKC blog obliges with this posting because they do have a soft spot for Quinton Lucas. Please don't argue this point, because anyone who's been reading this blog since TKC did the Council candidate interviews before their last election, knows that this blog has bought into the "Quinton Lucas will be a future Mayor" hype that started being perpetuated as soon as he announced for a Council seat.
Ok, back to this posting. As the 9:46 comment highlights, more than anything, Lucas comes off as a naive ignorant with some of his observations.
When it comes to Quinton Lucas, remember what lies at his core:
1) Who is his biological father?
2) Do you think he's a product of the urban core? Where did he go to high school, college, and law school?
He's a quasi-carpetbagger occupying a 3rd District Council seat. Renting an apartment at 18th/Vine is not putting down roots in your district. In this regard he's imitating the property-less Mayor James.
3) From a young age, he was brainwashed into pursuing KCMO politics and the Mayor's office, to fulfill someone else's dreams.
4) Quinton Lucas is an attorney. Where and for whom does he practice law in KCMO? He doesn't! Political strings were pulled to get him hired at KU Law School in Lawrence (faculty diversity program) where a 30-something Lucas with little legal experience is supposed to teach law students his pearls of wisdom. Not!
Honestly people, this Lucas scam is rather transparent if you simply take a look at it with open eyes.
3/5th compromise.
DeleteI agree wholeheartedly. Lucas is shallow and without substance. Nobody is home.
DeleteWait til you hear the whistle of bullets.
