80 Years Post-Pendergast, Kansas City Mayoral Hopefuls Wonder If Local Control Of Police Is Worth It

ReplyDeleteIf you can't manage pot holes, perhaps you shouldn't have the police. Basics matter.

ReplyDeleteAll police dept need to be under stare control. The mayors and city councils are the corrupt people.
