So now the cuts to the Police are here . . . And they couldn't come at a worse time.
A well-informed TKC TIPSTER makes the following observation:
In the period May 1, 2008 - today, we have had 146 homicides, the highest 12 month total since calender year 1993--the worst year for homicides in the history of KCMO. So, we are the only, and I stress the only, large city in the US to be having a homicide rate in 2009 comparable to the "Crack Wars" of the early 1990's.And we know that the warmer weather brings even more murder to the metro. Unfortunately, there are very few politicos dedicated to this problem and from everything I'm seeing . . . It's just getting worse. Seriously, I don't think that Kansas City politicos are going to be able to get away with their annual, end of summer anti-violence trend as homicides normally declined in the last, cold, months of the year away . . . THIS YEAR COULD SEE RECORD BREAKING KANSAS CITY MURDER AND VIOLENCE!!! And on this, I'm am hoping against hope that I'm completely wrong and Kansas City's murder rate doesn't get out of hand in the face of KCPD budget cuts . . . Because I know we're not prepared to properly address the problem if it turns out that I'm right.

Thank you Funk, you fuck-tard!
ReplyDeleteThanks for fucking up the most important job of your life at our expense.
I third the CCW. Also, shotguns are best for home defense. Get a 12 gauge and some buckshot.
