TKC EXCLUSIVE AND BREAKING NEWS!!! ACTIVISTS RAGE AMID SPATE OF DEADLY OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTINGS!!! INSIDERS: IS KANSAS CITY AT THE TIPPING POINT OF FERGUSON-STYLE ANTI-POLICE UPRISING?!?
A trio of controversial and deadly officer-involved shootings have evoked the ire or Kansas City activists who have long criticized local law enforcement.
Over the past couple of weeks, here's a quick roundup of the most controversial cases . . .
- On Sunday there was a tense scene at 34th and Prospect as neighborhood denizens didn't think police should've killed a gunman who dropped his weapon then picked it back up and targeted cops before they were forced to fire on him.
- This week, a car chase that involved Kansas City & Independence, MO authorities ended with a vehicle crashing into a mobile home as the victim of a police shooting stole a cop car before his demise that shocked nearby onlookers.
- At the end of July on the 4300 block of Chestnut Avenue police were called to the scene of a domestic violence incident where a man with a gun yelled “shoot me” multiple times and KCPD fired and killed him in the midst of 20-minutes worth of negotiations as nearby residents witnessed the horrific scene.
Accordingly . . .
While these shootings might seem justified to some to others they are a rationale for growing anti-police sentiment among a increasingly large number of residents. Moreover, local activists are gearing up to make the recent spate of police officer-involved killings a rallying cry for local law enforcement reform.
And so . . .
AS ACTIVISTS VOICE GRASSROOTS FRUSTRATION WITH INCREASING POLICE OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTINGS . . . INSIDERS FEAR KANSAS CITY AND SURROUNDING MUNICIPALITIES STAND AT THE PRECIPICE OF "ANOTHER FERGUSON" ANTI-POLICE REVOLT!!!
Nowadays, in this social media connected era, it's important to see understand the narratives and perceptions that define our reality . . . Like it or not, it's better to consider and debate the perspectives that are frustrated with police then deny them their voice . . . Which is the point of this story.
You decide . . .
TKC, here's what you forgot to mention.
ReplyDeleteWhen police shootings are ruled justified. They do not count as part of the KC homicide totals.
So, KC is actually a much more violent place than most stats reveal.
Ferguson, oh, Ferguson,
ReplyDeleteI still hear your teargas blowing
I still see her dark eyes glowing
She was twenty one, when I left Ferguson
I would say no, Kansas City isn't there. The anti-police movement is relatively small here. Although crime is high, the criminals are lazy. They commit their crimes and party on the weekend. When I say party, I mean they try to destroy entertainment districts, but that's it. They aren't getting out Monday morning to do any anti-cop work.
ReplyDelete8:35 the discord is not organic, grass roots. It is stirred up by paid organizers who target certain cities, swoop in, organize whatever existing radicals they find, supplement with their boots on the ground, and try to create an armed fight.
ReplyDeleteRemember what happened with the tranny horse puncher? Same type of thing.
This is not new in American Radicalism.
The IWW (Wobblies) used to go around to stir up trouble in depression era america. Steinbeck wrote about them in In Dubious Battle.
The Weathermen would do the same thing. They stoked the fires of Kent State and Chicago by their own admission before anything had actually gone south.
" Moreover, local activists are gearing up to make the recent spate of police officer-involved killings a rallying cry for local law enforcement reform." In other words, they will be pushing for local control of the KCPD. Which his a great example why local control of the KCPD is a terrible idea that would only make the city more dangerous for its law abiding citizens and less dangerous for its thugs.
ReplyDeleteIf there is an "anti police revolt" (Translation= a George Soros sponsored, Media Matters funded riot where people are killed, assaulted, raped and intimidated, business' are wrecked and the Main Stream Media feasts on the bloodshed and dysfunction all the while blaming "Whitey" and "Slavery".), then this city, will do what Baltimore, another Democrat City did and "Give them room to destroy".
ReplyDeletePoliticians will stand in front of cameras, wring their hands and decry the violence, while secretly hoping for more, so that they can maintain power in office.
The police will be emasculated and derided as "racist" and the predictable results will look exactly like what happened in Baltimore, at MU and countless other cities who fell into the real time hell of an actual living Hieronymus Bosch painting that is the result of Progressive Power.
I couldn't agree more with you,Chuck. Now listen, this is REAL TALK : we here at T KC and just the general KC area are lucky to have you buddy .Very few of us can
ReplyDeletearticulate how we feel like you do. I'll go ahead and say it, you are, whether you like it or not,Da Man !!!!
Seriously, Thanks Chuck !!
Eventually businesses will DEMAND something be done about blacks. For a business to stay in the black, they have to stay away from blacks.
ReplyDeleteThe police are blameless.
The solution for law abiding citizens is to move elsewhere. Leave KCMO to the barbarians and move to Lees Summit, Blue Springs, or JoCo. Good citizens are not going to win this one. Just declare yourself a refugee and flee.
ReplyDeleteObey the law
ReplyDeleteDo as the officer says
End of story
Exactly! PS - Don't point guns at the police...or anyone else for that matter. What's so hard about that?
Deleteso much for the new police chief.
ReplyDeleteWho will be sworn in August 15th.
DeleteHuman flotsam and jetsam getting in it with officers
ReplyDeletePolice killings Have always caused the most violent Uprisings in US History. Killings were high before Donald Trump encouraged more violence.
ReplyDeleteWait a minute, wait a minute, let me get this straight!
ReplyDeleteSome dude is waiving a gun around, yelling "Kill Me", he points it at Police, they shoot him, start rendering Immediate Aid, nd "Bystanders are outraged"?
HEY, DUMBASSES! GO INSIDE! THERE'S A DUDE WAIVING A GUN AROUND OUT HERE!
In a second instance, an Idiot points a gun at Police, drops it when told to, picks it up again and points it at Police a second time, and gets shot! Once again "Bystanders are Outraged"
HET DUMBASSES! GO INSIDE!THERE'S A DUDE WAIVING A GUN AROUND OUT HERE!
Some of us still remember that SCLC Cleaver up here from someplace in Texas in 1967 so he could organize and prepare the stage managed 1968 Riots! Looks like some more "Concerned Activists" have been brought in to get out the "Rent-A-Mobs" that created Ferguson 1, in preparation for Ferguson 2 here in KC. Anyone have any idea if any of the "Bystanders" in both these instances were the same people?
ROCK ON, TONYS KC, THESE CLOWNS NEED YOUR SUPPORT AND ANOTHER FORUM!
Chuck is wrong, again.
ReplyDeleteHe always plays the conspiracy theory card, & the white man as victm card.
He's an animal; no better than 8:28 with his "human being" crap.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If some dude is waving a gun around in the hood, the "outraged bystanders" should handle the situation. DO NOT CALL THE POLICE. The family members and other bystanders are more than capable of diffusing the situation. Right?
ReplyDeleteByron Funkhouser, the perpetual player of the conspiracy theory and victim cards, accusing others of playing them? That's rich.
ReplyDeleteByron, good things can be said of virtually every group or civilization on earth. This is unsurprising, given the fact that everyone on earth is descended from the same small tribe that left Africa 100,000 years ago. East Asians are such decent, advanced people they are comparable to Whites. Unsurprisingly, they only diverged from the White race 40,000 years ago.
ReplyDeleteThere is only one group nothing good can be said about, there is only one group completely unrelated to the rest of the human race, and that is the Black African.
There is enough genetic variation between Blacks and non-Blacks that any objective scientist, classifying us like they would classify various animal species, would label us different species. On one side humans, on the other Blacks. There is enough phenotypic, common sense variation, that again it is an insult to categorize Blacks among the human race.
They are nothing like us and they never will be; they are worse in every way. Call them orcs, or trolls, devils, or whatever you like — they are not human.
Considering that two of the three examples were all but asking to be shot, and one was literally asking to be shot, any "frustration" is far from grass-roots in origin.
ReplyDeleteByron, Blacks are unique in that when humans arrived, they had no written language, no wheel, no architectural works, nothing at all that would indicate they live a human existence. Whereas literature and palaces and cities existed in almost every corner of the earth, from the Incas to the Indians to the Persians to the Chinese to Stonehenge to Ankar Wat in Cambodia — nothing existed in Africa.
ReplyDeleteFor the past 100,000 years non-Blacks have been spreading across the globe, building pyramids and cities, developing new technology, domesticating animals and crops, covering themselves in finely decorated clothing, and living essentially human lives.
Blacks, meanwhile, stayed nearly naked, self-mutilating, technology-less, with no domesticated animals, no written language, no wheel, no stone buildings, no metalworking, nothing.
Byron, look at Haiti if you need any proof. Haiti has been an all-Black, independent, free state since the Napoleonic wars, 200 years ago. Even so, its lifestyle and standard of living perfectly matches that of darkest Africa. In those 200 years it hasn’t progressed an inch. In fact it has probably regressed since that time. Their neighbors in the Dominican Republic have immensely better statistics than them in all fields. Instead of a failed state, the Dominican Republic takes care of its people, has a working government, and doesn’t need charity. The difference? Their population is non-Black. All of the old, tired excuses are refuted by geography and history.
ReplyDeleteOK? So this issue is settled. NOT human.
Chuck is too fucking stupid to know that 8:57AM is making fun of him. Further proof that chuck is a fucking moron.
ReplyDeleteAaawww, 1:31 "Yukky", go back and sit at the kiddie table where you eat your boogers and drool. When the other kiddies call ya "Yukky" go tattle like always, big crybaby.
ReplyDeleteOnly a loser ass like you is butt-hurt by some anonymous, supposed sarcasm.
1:01, you will be surprised to learn that there is likely to be greater genetic variation between two Africans picked at random than between, say, an Englishman and a Papua New Guinean.
ReplyDeleteWhen a criminal or thug is committing a crime they damn well know what they are doing is wrong and when they are caught by law enforcement they should understand the game is up they are caught and to go peacefully. To not do so is resistance to law and order and law and order at that point should have wide discretion on how the person or persons are dealt with.
ReplyDeleteIf a person is pointing a gun at anyone walking the streets and yelling all at the same time they are openly inviting their life as they know it to end.
Thinking that law enforcement should just stand around and wait on this person to stop acting dumb is ludicrous at best. A child might be across the street looking out the window and the idiot with the gun decides to take a pot shot at the kid and in doing so kills them. At that point you can bet the public will be screaming why didn't put this asshole down when you had the chance.
When told to put your gun down and refusing to is an invitation for you to meet the dude dressed in black carrying the sickle.
That isn't police brutality or unnecessary force, it's simply taking out the trash.
1:59PM-WTF are you even saying?? Your comment makes no sense. It's clear your a geriatric, quite likely stroking out. Did you even read the comment??? Get help geezer.
ReplyDeleteIt's clear "YOU'RE" not a pouty, petty doofus who is beyond childish. No, not at all. "YOU'RE" not foolish to assume what you say is an anonymous sarcasm in any way matters to Chuck or any other actual adults. Nope, it's absolutely sensible that "YOU'RE" asserting that there are such thin-skinned goofs who'd even give a rat's ass about what you say are gushing compliments to be intended as veiled insults.
Delete"YOU'RE" also quite the scholar knowing the proper use of "YOU'RE".
^^^ Geezer Hater pissed off that he got schooled again. Go dominate the old people at the bingo hall; they're the level that you can handle.
ReplyDeleteBaltimore at 215 homicides this year. Hug a thug! De-policing is a lovely thing!
ReplyDeleteYou live in Baltimore white- trash???
DeleteFACT :
ReplyDeleteThe Degenerate Democratic Commie Liberals, want the Police to offer the Criminals & Terrorists, Cookies & Milk - Wine & Cheese , instead of shooting them !
Anything other than that, why it must be Racist and Bigoted !
Meanwhile a car load of Degenerate low life scumbag Gangsta' thugs go on a Drive by shooting, killing 5 little innocent kids under the ages of 7 out playing in a yard !!
and that's OK,,, "NOT" 1 word out of all those Degenerate COMMIE Scumbag Criminal Terrorist Cockroach "supporters", Zilch, Notta, Zing !
So, what are you gonna do about it? All talk, no balls! You are a coward & a pussy!
DeleteI'm glad the Fraternal Order Of Police finally filed an official statement on this matter.
ReplyDeleteBottom Line: KCPD sucks
ReplyDeleteAs do you twink. As do you.
DeleteAnd the racist effluvium again rises from the sewer of reactions on TKC.
ReplyDeleteThey don't shoot 2% of the ones that deserve shot.
ReplyDeleteWhat a joke. There will be 20-30 people there, tops. That fat cunt McDonald from More2 should stick to what she knows...French fries. Shootings were justified, period. Supersize that shit, bitch.
ReplyDelete^^^^Redneck
Delete^^^^Hipster
ReplyDeleteI wish they would shoot more of them and we could have a riot like Ferguson. The difference would be, no cunt Jay Nixon deciding to let the negroes destroy shit. Greitens would respond swiftly and forcefully. They would then clearly understand once and for all, black lives do not fucking matter.
ReplyDeleteYou think Grieten can squash an uprising do ya?
ReplyDeleteNow that KCPD has a white chief you can be your ass it will be his Waterloo. The boons will tar and feather him for everything that ever happened for the last four decades and Sly will be driving the buss he gets tossed under.
