Kansas City Star Opinion Follows TKC Blog Community Reporting: Celebrate 2018 Murders Down Under New Chief Smith?!?!



Earlier this month our blog community was FIRST to report crime stats and offer expert analysis of fewer murders in KCMO trending . . .

Today, newspaper "journalists" finally join the discussion:

Dead-Tree Postscript: Murders are down in KC this year. Should we feel any safer?

It's a decent question with far less interesting verbiage and not quite as exciting as our consideration of the topic . . .

You decide . . .

  1. Personally, I blame the schools.

    But yeah, saw this one and laughed. The editorial almost seems disappointed.

    Less killing in KC is something that is an overall benefit.

  3. Why no news on the two guys the cops shot "fighting" over the golf cart and gun ? Were they parking lot security workers ? Where are the families on the TV news, the BLM outrage ? Like a news black out.

  4. Cops killing criminals is not murder.

    This is good news, if the murder rate is down.

  6. The police do not prevent homicides; or cause them.

    You morons are making a big deal out of what is a statistical hiccup, not a fact.

    The old chief was black & the new chief is white, & that is all you care about.

    Historic low unemployment could be starting to work its way thru the lower income neighborhoods.

  8. Actually, we need 150-20 murders per year. Hood rats killing other hood rats is a cleansing process.

  10. I say it's the economy. We've got people making some money and that means more cash to spend on poontang. Poontang brings down crime or at least the availability of poontang makes crime a less attractive alternative. Everybody wants poontang and it tends to Tire you out or at least make you smile like a fool when you get some sweet sweet poontang so give credit to president Trump or just love that tasty tight delicious sweet ass poontang. You're welcome.

  12. 8:20 what we care about is having a new chief that shows up for work EVERYDAY and does his job, the other guy let us all down just like he’ll do with jaco.

  14. If the city was really serious about reducing murders. They would contract with Americas Best Eyeglasses to provide free eye exam and two pair of eye glasses for everyone on the east side. Because they never see nuffin
