If I was Chief in Cop Killer Central I'd take the pink slip and move to Baltimore.
ReplyDeleteGarrett has the only qualifications necessary--the keen awareness of exactly one side of an issue, and the immense self-righteousness of the leftist with a bullhorn.
ReplyDeleteThe police union's statements were spectacularly stupid and typical of majority society that likes to pretend everything is ok. Many of these same unions were defending their practices of sic'ing dogs and fire hoses on black civil rights protesters during the 60s! Police unions do not care for citizens, that is not their concern. They only seek to protect officers, good and bad. Fuck Brad Lemon & whatever the KCK guy name is.
ReplyDeleteTo all you cop haters...the thin blue line is getting thinner...when KC evolves into something out of the Purge or Mogadishu I don't want to here you complaining...to the rest of you that have "skills" armor up.
Delete^^^^^^^^^Fuck You
ReplyDeleteSuck my dick!
DeleteMore anecdotal bullshit about KKK behind every bush and "We have a long way to go".
ReplyDeleteShut the fuck up.

Unbelievable! If you scratch your nutsack within a mile of KC it is RAYSHITZ!!!! When are Americans going to get their fill of this bullshit?
ReplyDeleteIf black lives matter then why do blacks kill each other at such a disproportionate rate?
ReplyDeleteWhy does Daryl Forte make a paycheck and gain local power and fame off black crime? Because they matter to him?
Black lives matter to Forte as much as commas matter to his bank balance. Fuck that guy
Fuck this place. I've never received any discipline, and never had a complaint in over 15 years on. I've also never been an FOP member. I'm joining today, because it's clear the chief doesn't support me or those that have been officers. I'll never lift another finger.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to see where you are on an issue Chief, take a look who is on your side. You decide whether you want to be with the people you've worked with for 30 years, who go out there every day and try to do their best for you, people who had your back when you were a nobody street cop, vice detective, and dog watch homicide sergeant, or this guy who wouldn't give you the time of day if you were a white police administrator, but now sees an opportunity to use you and the controversy you've allowed yourself to stumble into, for his own gains and to get his name out there as something more than just another left wing race-baiting hack blogger. It's your call.
ReplyDeleteJesus these cops are fuckin' cry babies. Get the fuck out and try working for a living instead of driving around hallucinating about pulling up to a QT with a robbery in progress. If you think being a cop is a bitch try being a tax payer with all these lazy ass bureaucrats running around dreaming up shit for us to do for them while they bitch about working conditions.
ReplyDelete^^^^^^ research crimereports.com pay attention to the area 5th to 47th Broadway to 71hwy. Then shut your uneducated pie hole!
ReplyDeleteGood news the thin blue line is getting thinner. Love it.
ReplyDeleteStats show that violent crime rates in the inner city are far greater than the suburbs...unfortunately the inner city is comprised mostly of african americans....therefore the police dept puts a majority of their resources in the inner city to combat crime...so you are correct...more african americans will probably be stopped,ticketed, and even arrested than whites...but not because the color of their skin....but because the officers that are put in those neighborhoods are put there to enforce the law...dont break the law...dont go to jail...seems simple enough...but lets turn this into a race issue instead...pathetic
ReplyDelete4:38, that's roughly accurate, so what policies do you support that will integrate neighborhoods and provide more opportunities for children before they fall into the system? Erasing the Troost dividing line should be the city's top priority but virtually nothing is being done to address it with equity. The majority of proposed public investment in urban neighborhoods is designed to displace folks.
DeleteWe all know where the problems are and what it stems from. Are we going toclaim "These colors don't run," move to the suburbs, and deploy militarized police to these neighborhoods, or are we going to promote policies that stimulate private investment, integration, education, and job opportunities for these communities?
Integrating neighborhoods and providing opptunities for children before they fall into the system is not a responsbility of the police dept...it is a socioeconomic problem that should be addressed by our local political leaders and city government....not the police..but unfortunately a majority of society ( you included) seem to think that is a police problem....troost is no more of a dividing line in our city than state line is between missouri and kansas..should we erase state line as well??....if you can afford to move west of troost then more power to you. If you cant then tough shit.. The majority of proposed public investment is not created to displace folks...its created to bring growth and revenue to the city...should the city build more food pantries? Homeless shelters? ..when people are on a payroll from the government can you actually blame them for not wanting to go out and get a 9-5? Hell no because they would probably be taking a pay cutt.. Its alot easier to collect free cash than it is to work for it. Its time people start taking responsibility for their own actions and choices in life....and not relying on the police to solve all their problems and for the government to feed them..
DeleteHEY STADLER LET'S BUILD A WALL AROUND THE INTER CITY - PRETTY GOOD IDEA HUH? THEY CAN PAY FOR IT TOO
DeleteOne sided WRONG homosexual faggots.
ReplyDeleteSJW's ????????
ReplyDeletemore like SJI's
Social Justice Idiots = FACT !!!!!!
I want to live in the neighborhood Obama integrates into when he leaves office. Ya just know in your heart he will be locating where he can help poor black families...any bets?
ReplyDeleteWhy can't black just admit that they got suckered by the Democratic Party again? Did they really believe Barrack baby was going to give a shit about them? So instead of making Obamy man up we are back to it being all white boy's fault.
