TKC BREAKING NEWS!!! KANSAS CITY POLICE CRACKDOWN ON PROTESTERS AGAINST UPCOMING PREZ TRUMP VISIT!!! DEBATE RAGES OVER WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK DEMONSTRATIONS!!!



Police don't want protesters using Washington Square Park to stage demonstrations during the upcoming Prez Trump visit tomorrow.

Already, biz and drivers are getting warnings to stay away from Westin Crown Center area during the midday.

Right across the street, the Washington Square Park typically serves as a "free speech zone" and police usually don't bother all of the junkies and homeless who sleep there at night.

And so we ask our blog community . . .

SHOULD KCPD STOP PROTEST AGAINST PREZ TRUMP AT THIS OTHERWISE DESOLATE KANSAS CITY PARK???

We're hoping the mere mention of this behind the scenes ruckus will facilitate more discussion of 1st Amendment rights . . . Despite the fact that the cold & more snow might do a better job of preventing protest than authoritarian crackdowns.

Nevertheless . . .

Security is exceptionally tight for tomorrow's visit and at the very least protesters will be pushed back far away from the street if they're allowed to use the park at all.

So far there's been a few tense e-mail exchanges back and forth betwixt organizers and KCPD. We're waiting on a response from police as far as protester access that was pretty much shut down last time the Prez visited KCMO.

UPDATE: 

TALKED WITH KCPD & THEY CONFIRM PROTESTERS WILL BE ALLOWED AT WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK!!!

  2. We live in a free society. Stoping people from meeting at a park is a bridge too far. I don't agree with proteters one bit but if they are peaceful and not disruptive, they should be allowed to gather. Taking away their rights makes KC look fearful.

  3. Let em protest, but...

    Dalton: I want you to be nice... until it's time... to not be nice

    Bouncer: So, uh, how are we supposed to know when that is?

    Dalton: You won't. I'll let you know. You are the bouncers, I am the cooler. All you have to do is watch my back and each others... and take out the trash!

  4. ^^Of course we must allow them to protest. We are not Putin's America yet. This president is worthy of protest. Hell, I bet the cops would love to join in with them as he has not kept one of promises yet!

  7. Oh great just great. The Westport communists, feminists, and antifa will be out in force. You know, the people with wooden spools in their ears, and raggedy clothes waving red flags and rainbow flags. Probably a bunch of those stupid pink cat hats too.

  9. Last time Trump was here the protesters were barely noticeable. Our protesters here are so weak. Mostly just a bunch of faggots and lesbians that have nothing to do.

  10. Didn't anybody learn anything from Charlottesvile? Yes. The Constitution recognizes the God given rights of man for freedom of assembly and free speech. But there are some common sense limits. You can't call for violence. You can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater. And if somebody is holding an demonstration or event, you may counter-protest, BUT NOT AT THE SAME TIME AND SAME PLACE. You can counter-protest at the same time and a different place, or a different time and the same place. Fucking common sense.

    And masked protesters need to be warned and then arrested. The potential for violence would go down tenfold if that was the only thing the police did.

  11. What's worse than the protesters will be the collection of trash assembled to see the great grifter in person. My God, the horror show this is gonna be! You'll never see so many obese geezers in your life! This collection of retards, pants-shitters, and in-breds is a must see. Oh the horror!

  12. The key word is United as in United States. Like him or not back our president it is unbecoming and immature to do otherwise, grow up America.

  13. First were gonna take Mr. Trump for a ride on our Toy Train! Then it's over to our well managed and profitable 18th and Vine District. Then on to a tour of our bike lanes just east of main! After that it's drinks with Jolie Justus at the Tavern about transgender rights. Then it's onto talks about stealing more taxpayer money for the extension, and then a joint conference our amazing $1 billion dollar airport voters approved. Lastly a tour of our new Police Station in East KC and the new grocery store!

  14. @12:27 I recognize your voice, despite you constantly being anonymous. You criticize people for spending too much time here, but you are a Tony's keyboard warrior for sure.
    You always denigrate older, more experienced folks as geezers. Did you know that in antiquity elders were revered? It has only been in the modern era that youths feel free to disrespect the men and women who built the civilization they live in. As if you are somehow smarter or wiser. And you aren't.

    You should spend more time listening and less time talking. You are an infantile twerp, with too much free time because you don't have a career, a house, or a girlfriend. I bet you have a part time job and work less than 30 hours a week. You probably just turned 30, and are bitter about your prospects in life, and instead of attributing your plight to the poor decisions that you have made, you choose to blame your parents generation for not being even more generous than they have already been. The world doesn't owe you shit. Get over yourself and start respecting people who have good advice to give you, if you will just humble yourself and take it.

    Now go fuck off.

  15. Trump doesn't care about the protesters and neither do I. They are fat idiots with pink and blue hair, lesbians, and fags who think living under a dictatorship is the answer to life's struggles. They don't learn from history and have no clue about politics. They jump on Trump for things that other presidents have either done or put on the books that Trump had to follow. They support Hillary who defends child rape and Bill Clinton who is a hater of women and serial rapist, and Obama who is an ISIS sympathizer and Michelle who tried to start a black hate group in college.

    Let them protest it's really funny and helps our party!

  16. Is Jean Petersucker Baker going to be protesting? She is the leader of the Democratic Party in Missouri now. She can take a break from agreeing on pleas bargains and terms of probation for murderers to do some protesting.

  17. I heard there is a Matlock marathon on Friday, that will likely affect the turnout for the rally.

  18. @1:17, unfortunately your criticism of geezer-crap-eater will go in one ear, out the other. He will go through life blaming anyone but himself for any failures he experiences. It is da wae.

  22. Guarantee there will be protesters than attendees. The rally time coincides with nap time.

  23. While I personally think the best way to protest the Great Orange Collusioner is to ignore him entirely, I believe that the Constitution guarantees the right to gather in protest -- and that does not mean the right to protest where it is meaningless, hidden by distance from the President being protested.

    the KCPD is wrong.

  26. Hey Phil, once you get over Trump derangement syndrome can you tell us what you think about really important issues like the airport fiasco? I really would like to hear your thoughts on that?

  27. People are upset that they can’t use a park to protest the president but not about out of control crime and murder....... you people are idiots.

    He’s here in killa shitty because crime and murder is out of control and nobody in this city is doing a damn thing about, do you think it’s a coincidence that he’s here in a democrat run city that refuses to fix the problem? Petersucker are you listening?

  28. Why protest?

    Trump will soon be in PRISON as a LIAR, CHEAT and TRAITOR.

    That warrants a celebration!

  29. in my experience, most minorities assume every white person and cop is a racist idiotic 'unwoke' dipshit, until you look them in the eye and act like you going to beat their ass too. Why expect cops to have higher powers of discernment, why expect cops to show up for shot bodies or domestic violence.

  30. Direct your attention to politicians, cooperate with the police, and hopefully cops will eventually stop pulling you over for doing nothing except being black while driving.

  31. no one tell white citizens to be vigilant tho!

  32. Sly can do his plaza duck and cover routine for the Prez then the little jig he did for the GOP when he greets the president at the airport.

  35. Why don’t you protest the real things that affect killa shitty like crime, murder, affordable housing, outrageous water bills, you know, the stuff that really matters right? Noooooooo, you dumbass’s want to protest a president because he beat lyin, cheatin Hillary, you and you’re people are idiots.

    Besides, shouldn’t you really be embarrassed that the president has to come there, to the number 5 most dangerous city in the country and talk about how bad this shit hole town is, I’m glad I don’t live there, you people are the dumbest bastards I ever saw.

  37. It appears Wall Street investors are protesting Trump because he destabilized the global markets

  38. I love that those that protest act like local police have any say when it comes to state visits. Regardless who is coming from any administration the Secret Service creates the plans and local departments implements them. Don’t like it, call DC.
