The deadly numbers for a bloody Friday night continue to rise.
The latest:
KSHB: A male was shot and killed at 55th & Paseo Friday night.
Deets . . .
"Police were called to the sound of shots fired shortly before 10:00 Friday night. Officers located a male suffering from a gunshot wound. He was transported to an area hospital where he died several hours later."
And once again we're AT THE SAME LEVEL OF HISTORIC LOCAL HOMICIDES that we were last year at this date on the calendar.
Developing . . .
I have an open question to the officers who work for KCPD. I have read over and over that you are losing officers, but the chief hasn't said it. I have read that your department wrote 40-50 thousand less tickets from the year before. Crime appears to be unchecked and rising. A lot has been written about the chief and his statements about his own officers.
ReplyDeleteSo, what has to be done to fix your department? We, the TAXPAYERS, need to hear what should be done. What can we do to help fix what appears to be completely broken? If we need to call the city council, what do we need to say?
Patrol numbers are down by half. Where rosters once had 16-18 officers per shift we are now sitting at 8-9 offficers per shift in urban divisions. OT is offered nightly. South/North/Shoal Creek Patrols all run 4-5 officers per shift. That's two police cars and an arrest wagon. In other words, one significant call decimates the entire watch. The PD is too heavy with admin positions and emphasis has been completely removed from the basic patrol function. Expect numbers to continue to climb as long as this philosophy continues.
DeleteKCPD is a do nothing police department. Most of the officers try to get desk jobs. Planning and research is a great example. Some of the Officers there have not made an arrest in 10 years. KCPD is a taxpayer boondoggle.
ReplyDeleteYou clearly know nothing about the PD. 15% of patrol has more than 15 years average on the streets. Another 25 % has over 10 years in patrol. Educate yourself a bit.
DeleteJust another young nigga dead. They out there killing each other
ReplyDeleteIf there were 10,000 cops on the streets of KC it wouldn't stop black people from killing other people.
ReplyDeleteif a KCPD officer dares to stop and question a suspiciuos black dude .. they scream --RAAAACISM!!
ReplyDeletetough times to be a cop.
11:33 is exactly right. It's called de-policing get used to it. Refer to Chicago and Ferguson and Baltimore. Either back your police and put up with the thugs being in control. Also blame the Obozo injustice department. Hopefully that will all change soon.
ReplyDeleteCorrection: either back your police OR put up with the thugs being in control.
ReplyDeleteSly obviously loves thugs.
ReplyDeleteThe thugs are already in control.
ReplyDeleteThe Kansas Shitty Police Department.
ReplyDeleteJolie Justus chubby little feet should be held to the fire about every single one. I mean, she's in charge of the task force right? She must have some ideas. Certainly it's not just an empty title that cynically capitalizes on murder and crime while not requiring any action, right?
ReplyDeleteShame.
Got to fix all the broken windows

ReplyDeleteThe NOVA program is working wonders along with shot spotter.
ReplyDeleteyes, it's carnage.
ReplyDeleteForte is useless, just look at his tweets. I guess he thinks inner-city youth follow his Twitter. Hopefully new governor will replace the do-nothing board of police commissioners, which will in turn drop Forte like a hot potato.
ReplyDeleteKCPD is a piece of shit police department.
ReplyDeleteThe Department started going down hill after Easley left.
ReplyDeleteHow are cops suppose to stop idiots from shooting each other? Hold everyone's hands?
ReplyDeleteShooting at 55th & Paseo...Cleaver's church sits right on the corner. Lots of violence happening around that church. Glad to his ministry is so compelling.
ReplyDeletethat's the most crooked house of God in the metro, aside from maybe Adam Hamilton. But at least AH hasn't tried to run for Congress yet.
ReplyDeleteThe cops need to get off their ass anywhere else you'd be fired for such bad performance.
