ESCALATION: KANSAS CITY ACTIVISTS DON'T JUST WANT TO DEFUND POLICE, NOW THEY HOPE TO ABOLISH KCPD!!!
Over the past few weeks we've been talking about the "Defund The Police" movement and its implications for Kansas City.
Whilst the slogan is derided and dismissed by conservatives, some of our progressive friends hoped to clarify the goals of the effort and explain that the move was really about "refocusing" on civic priorities like mental health and social welfare in order to prevent violence within the community.
Even if all of that is hopelessly naive, it seems really nice and clearly comes from a place of love and concern for humankind.
However . . .
LAST NIGHT KANSAS CITY PROTESTERS AMPED UP THEIR RHETORIC AND NOW MAKE THEIR GOALS CRYSTAL CLEAR: THEY WANT TO ABOLISH THE KCPD!!!
This effort isn't about transitions, it's revolutionary and deserves to be considered on its own merits without apologists attempting to water down the idea.
To that end, we grabbed a really informative meme in order to offer a clear vantage of the ABOLISH KCPD MOVEMENT that was on display last night in this town's premier entertainment district as police watch crowds take over on street after the next . . . Checkit:

ReplyDeleteAbolish them and then do what? HaHaHaHaHa These people are idiots and so are most of the people in Kansas City especially my special friends in Central Hyde Park.
Younger and dumber kids writing with chalk on the sidewalks.
DeleteThe entire institution has proven countless times it's a violent racist corrupt murderous tax sucking failure whose real propose is to hammer down all resistance to the poisonous oligarchy.
ReplyDeleteOh. calm down, young Che Guevara. It's nothing of the kind.
DeleteOk bootlicker.
DeleteExcellent! A new meme to replace 'ok boomer'.
DeleteThat's all it is. You're a tantrum-child.
Have you ever been the actual victim of a violent crime? I am guessing your lily white ass hasn't.
DeleteI have been and it was under a year ago. While, I am not a huge fan of the cops in general. Even I can see this idea is absolutely ludicrous.
Do not abolish the department.
ReplyDeleteEstablish a "police no-go zone" from Main St. from the river south to 75th st., from Main St. east to I-435.
Provide no police into that area under any circumstances.
The remainder of the city will be covered by the police.
Give them the Plaza as their "City Center". That will also have no police coverage.
They want the "grand experiment"? Let them have it.
Great! Just don't try to steal our taxes to pay for your fucking storm troopers. You can keep your army out of our autonomous zone too, and we'll keep our army taxes too. I guarantee you bootlicker, we'll find better ways to spend our billions than on your imperial militant thugs.
DeleteOh, 8:20. When you finish freshman sociology let us know. CHAZ is a warlord thug-failure that acts as its own parody.
DeleteMuch like you. Your 'zone', ignorant communist, would be much the same. Rape, robbery, extortion, murder. Much like the Rise of the Planet of the Apes meets Lord of the Flies, except both of those scenarios are great examples of government compared to the hilarious proposed adolescent failure-state you propose.
And when it's over, when you actually understand what autonomy means, you'll beg for law and order.
Billions? Please. You'll be knifing each other for bags of cheetos in a week.
Get a job.
Dude has never had a job and never will.
DeleteHe has also most likely never touched a live woman either.
DeleteYay! No more of those pesky 'laws' telling us what to do!
ReplyDeleteThey're called progressives for a reason. Progressively dumber with every demand. They've allready defunded the police by not having jobs and not paying taxes.
ReplyDeleteIt would make more sense to abolish to criminals than the local police department.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of something said by someone some thirty years ago on t.v. The saying was that the black man was going the way of an endangered species. I thought at the time like hows this going to play out.
Seems to be heading that way no matter who does the killing - disease, war, bullets etc.
Please show some consideration for your readers and stop typing until you have a coherent thought.
DeleteDont forget abortion...it eliminates a third of them before they are even born.
Delete“Progressively dumber with each passing second” fixed it for you!
ReplyDeleteIf they eliminate police watch your property values plummet 90 per cent.
ReplyDeleteCrime Free Zones is all we need.
ReplyDeleteDefund and abolish the public universities like UMKC because that is where all of this crazy communist manifesto comes from:
ReplyDelete1. Empty the Jails - Seriously, you do know there are murderers, rapists, and child molesters in prison ? You want these people roaming around in your autonomous zone?
2. Community Self Governing - You do know this will result in the biggest and most murderous gang taking over your neighborhood?
The Democrat Party has gone totally insance.
Trump sends out stupid tweets but at least he believes in law and order and the tenants of civilization, the Constition, and free enterprise that made our country the economic giant of the world.
Vote for Trump in 2020 to save our suburbs and countryside from this crazy Democrat Party ideology of criminals and gangs taking over our country, looting, arson and anarchy.
Hopefully both parties will have better candidates and platforms in 2024.
Trump is a fascist punk who believes in gangs of fascist bullies taking over society.
DeleteAmerica is/was the economic giant because of military imperialism.
insane
ReplyDeleteDemocrat Party has gone totally insane.
ReplyDeleteHerr Funkhouser says get rid of the police not needed they just kill black people.
ReplyDeleteRemove the police forces from the streets put law and order into the hands of the people. Then sit back and watch how many black bodies you see in the streets. Sure there will be some white folks but in about the same proportions as an Oreo cookie is when you look at what percentile of it's dark vs white.
What’s der fuhrer bLIEron have to say after the white got shot and killed by the police yesterday? Only kill blacks is the biggest lie blm and funkyshit tell.
ReplyDeleteBy the way bLIEron, one more thing you and you’re dumbass dimwit party didn’t think about while you try to abolish the police. The citizens will just arm and protect their selves so......
ReplyDeleteThe 2nd amendment rocks!
Insane is...... repeating the same thing time and time again and getting the same results.
ReplyDeleteStart with the homicide squad...let the Eastside delve into a bloodbath.
ReplyDeleteEvery city is an island that must import all food, medicine...everything needed to sustain life. Nothing comes in unless it's brought in by truck. CDLLIFE.com, a website for professional truckers took a poll asking who would be willing to make deliveries to cities that have defunded their police. 77% said no. Hey, maybe these lardass women that make up three-fourths of this well-funded shitshow will lose weight ! Oh well, none of this really matters to White people who were never naive enough to live within a mile of Browntown. We continue to not only live, but thrive. But that's no surprise is it ? We're White people. It's what we do.
ReplyDeleteAs a truck driver, I can attest to that. Twenty years ago a drive made a wrong turn and drove into Compton Ca. They found his truck broken into but never found the driver
DeleteToday, on the borders of Compton and the next city is miles of new warehouses. That’s where we deliver to. Nobody will go into compton
Defund UMKC and the other public universities and the protesting goes away.
ReplyDeleteUMKC is the nerve center for ANTIFA and BLM.
Mizzou's Columbia campus professors were behind closing the Mizzou campus five years ago and contributing to the Ferguson riots.
Tenured professors have become highly paid dangerous radicals.
"Tenured" Professors do not work and have time all day to forment radical revolution.
The problem is that in many parts of the city you could abolish the police and nobody would notice. They don's come anyway. Perpetrators are not prosecuted. The ones who ARE prosecuted are not incarcerated. So what's the point? Community justice? Oh yes, let's have Joe, who has little or no training or supervision, finish his six pack, get out his gun, and patrol the neighborhood. That'll work! Either that, or be like some of the South American and African countries, where middle class or better neighborhoods hire security at the neighborhood's expense to be adequately protected. It's kind of a bad look all around. I think I'll stay put in my suburban neighborhood and wallow in my white privilege -- and smile and wave at the police officers I see.
ReplyDeleteYou can’t blame the cops for lack of prosecution or incarceration. That blame goes to the Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker and the many liberal judges on the bench who won’t throw the book at anyone.
DeleteThe question people should be asking is whether there is a correlation between police funding and violent crime. Does violent crime go down when the police department funding goes down? Or is it the other way around? Even here in KCMO these numbers should be easy to produce and discuss publicly. Look at what the City Council allocated for the KCPD budget for the last 20 years, and compare those numbers to the number of total homicides for the same years. If the budget went up, did crime go up or down. If the budget went down, did the number of total homicides go up or down? The numbers will paint a clear picture.
ReplyDeletePlease, please, please keep this nonsense up into November!!! Please.
ReplyDeleteI concur with 8:05....
ReplyDeleteLet there only be GODS LAW!
The dumbing of America. Media giving the 0.5% idiots a voice like they speak for the majority. Welcome to another 4 years of Trump.
ReplyDeleteTOP PHOTO -- COWBOY'S FIRST RODEO
ReplyDeleteWhen someone stole his horse and saddle, the protest sign quickly came down and he felt like a BIG POSSE!!!
Abolish Idiots
ReplyDeleteAbolish The Police!
ReplyDeleteSo we can ruin and fuck everything up in sight daily without interference!
I knew 2020 was going to be a GREAT SHOW.BUT it is out of control. You have the Communists the Socialist The Far Left B.L.M.THE Conservatives Partying at the Lake. The Corrupt Politicians .RUBBER BAND MAN Q.FLIP FLIP FLOPPING. ect. And the NEW WORLD ORDER TAKING OVER PARTS OF AMERICA.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that a noticeable number of Kansas City residents are advocating a return to the Law Of The Jungle. What a nifty idea,... why not abolish 911 calls too? Hospitals should go too! When is there ever a hospital in the jungle? No need... just let all the people kill themselves.
ReplyDeleteIt's a Zoot,Suit Riot. Don't let the 30 Percent of the Crazy People Destroy your community.
ReplyDelete11:17 that’s just..... stupid
ReplyDeleteAt only 27% of the Kansas City's population (and under 13% of the Nation's), Black People are not going to be happy with the result if the Police are abolished.
ReplyDeleteIf they think being pulled over and ticketed for "driving while Black" is bad, how will they feel when their entire neighborhood is surrounded by armed vigilante groups that then start tightening the "ring", questioning and disarming everyone after any crime has been committed and executing anyone who resists.
Society has created the Legal System of Courts, Jails and Police to take care of the "dirty jobs" involved in keeping people safe, but if necessary, Society as a whole can deal with the situation.
A state of lawlessness would not be tolerated.
Call 911 on a Saturday night. You'll realize KCPD is already abolished. There's no one available for hours. These people are idiots.
ReplyDeleteName one thing the police have done for you that you couldn’t do yourself?
ReplyDeleteDid you need the police to make you go the speed limit the last time you drove?
Did you need the police to sit outside your house to make sure it didn’t get broke into?
Did you need the police to keep your car from being stolen?
Did you need the police to keep you from hitting your significant other?
Did you need the police to make you feel saver eating out, attending a sports game or concert?
You are just programmed to think you need controlled? People want the police to keep “Those people” out of their neighborhoods.
People want the police to have someone to call when their feelings get hurt like so many Karen’s of the world.
Folks stop being ignorant all your life and stop being mind controlled.
Well, I needed the police last year when I was almost murdered? Does that count? To take the psycho to jail where he belongs.
DeleteWho was fighting, kicking and screaming like a banshee. Who was rocking the paddy wagon back and forth.
I want to say the nice thing like I hope you are never a victim of a violent crime.
Since, you obviously a complete moron, I hope you are. Then come back here and let me know?
Would you like the police to arrest the drunk driver before he plows into your family?
DeleteYou both are stupid fucks!
DeleteLet's play what will happen with a no police or a very neutered down police.
ReplyDeleteEvery law abiding citizen that works, every business that is insured or has stakeholders will pull out pronto. I will also add in law abiding people that do not work for other reasons.
Protection rackets and organized gangs will fill the void.
The surrounding communities will put up walls and have heavily armed patrols.
You see what is already happening in Seattle. That is just a taste of what life would be like.
Ok stupid fuck let’s play
ReplyDeleteYou car get stolen and you call the police. The officer shows up 4 hours later and take a report. He tells you to call your insurance and leaves. Nobody looks for your car. A few weeks later, your car is found abandoned. The police do nothing to attempt to identify rhe thief. A typical call to police.
ReplyDeleteHow do you know the cops did nothing to look for your car thief? You are just a cop hater. Sucks to be you.
DeleteTypical call #2
ReplyDeleteYou come home from work and your house had been broken into. You call KCPD and are put on hold for 15 minutes. They tell you it’s going to be 4 hours to respond. The police come and take a report. They tell you to call your insurance company. They take no pictures and no fingerprints. They talk to no neighbors or retrieve video. How did the police help you?
If you live in KCMO, you live in the 5th most violent city. The 9-1-1 system and the cops are going to be busy! You will be waiting on hold for a response and hours for a cop for a home invasion that has happened. Have you ever had your house dusted for prints. It’s messy AF. And chances are the only prints they’ll find are yours. You got a report to turn in to your insurance company for your claim. That’s pretty much how it works.
DeleteTypical call #3
ReplyDeleteYou are driving in the city and a car hits your car and takes off. You only get a partial description of the fleeing car. You call the police. They tell you to walk the report into the station. You go to the station and they take a report. They tell you to call your insurance. They do no investigation. What did the police do for you?
Hey, are you a moron? There are hundreds of thousands of cars in the metro. You got a PARTIAL description of the car. You NEED a solid description of the driver. That’s why you have insurance. What did the police do for you? They provided you with the police report your insurance company will need to pay your claim. You should say “thank you” to them.
DeleteTypical call #4
ReplyDeleteYour intrusion alarm goes off and the police are called. They arrive 4 hours later and check the house. Nobody is home. The city sends you a bill for a false alarm.What did the police Do for you?
That’s the way it goes. And they don’t send bill until after 3 false alarms.
DeleteTypical call #5
ReplyDeleteYou love to date bad boys until they drink and slap on you. Your family and friends tell you to get rid of him but you love him. Every Friday he comes home and slaps the shit out of you and you call the police to scare him to leave. They arrive and he’s already gone. You don’t want to press charges. What did the police do for you.
If you’re too stupid to press charges against a guy who beats you up regularly, especially AFTER you call the cops, you are probably are getting what you deserve. What do you think would happen if BF HAD been there. You would still have to press charges. Don’t waste cops’ time.
Delete
ReplyDeleteWhen officers are no longer able to do their jobs and we lose all semblance of law and order the people of this country will be really sorry they encouraged this.
Typical call #6
ReplyDeleteYour son is off his meds and threatening to kill himself. You don’t want him to die. He’s a good kid when on his meds. You call the police and they arrive. He picks up a kitchen knife and approaches the officer. He shoots and kills your son. What did the police do for you?
What did you do for you? How did you let your dependent son get so sick and off his meds?
Delete^^^ that’s what the 2nd amendment is for
ReplyDeleteBingo! No police needed
Delete2:45 meant for 2:43
ReplyDeleteTypical call #6
ReplyDeleteYou trying to go to sleep at 10 pm and your neighbors still playing loud music/. You call the police and they never show up. You finally fall asleep. What did the police do for you?
We don’t have enough police to respond to nuisance calls in the middle of the night. You can: try talking to your neighbor the next day; fire a warning shot over his roof; start playing square dance music equally loud in an attempt to annoy him.
Delete
ReplyDeleteThe deification of George Floyd is part of the Left’s corrupt modus operandi. The horse-drawn carriage, the gold casket, the multiple funerals, the solemn obeisance of the politicians—this is more than they did for Lincoln. Obscene!
Stop using big words! Every police shooting of unarmed black men for crimes that amount to misdemeanors or less has brought us to this point. Stupid fuck!
DeleteTypical #7
ReplyDeleteYour neighbor’s tree is hanging over the property line. You get into it with your neighbor and he calls you a bitch. You call the police and they come out and tell you that it is a civil matter. They leave and in the car they tell their partner you was a bitch. What did the police do for you?
You shouldn’t be calling the police for this situation.
DeleteTypical call #8
ReplyDeleteA renter is behind on their rent. You call the police to have them evicted. They tell you that you have to go to court and get an order. They leave. What did the cops do for you?
If you’re a landlord and didn’t know you needed a court order to get an eviction , then you have no business being a landlord.
DeleteHire more cops as they are at less than 1968 staffing levels and the Calls for Service have increased five fold! Build a Certified City Jail to rehabilitate city misdemeanor offenders!
ReplyDeleteDumbass stop believing the propaganda. Technology allows for less officers than 1968. Stupid ass
DeleteYou’re the stupid ass. You don’t know what you’re talking about. There are more people living here, many more calls to service than in 1968c and it’s not robots driving to those calls. Figure out your facts before you start yakking, keyboard warrior.
DeleteTypical call #9
ReplyDeleteYou park downtown and rush into an appointment. You lose track of time and go outside to find your car has been towed away. You retrieve the car for $400. What did the police do for you?
Here’s a tip: wear a watch. Keep track of time. And you must have had a few parking tickets to get towed.
DeleteAfter this year’s widespread indulgences in anti-police rhetoric by politicians, the media, and race hustlers, how surprised should we be by the dramatic upsurge in murders after law enforcement had been undermined?
ReplyDeleteThat's not accurate 304! Get your facts straight! The K.C.P.D. answers five times the Calls with less than 1,300 officers than in 1968! If the private sector could get the kind of work out of their private sector workers as the K.C.P.D. gets out of its workers they'd layoff employees! Technology hasn't really progressed when it comes to solving personal problems with minutes to do it. Matter of fact the computers just made it easier to dump on stat work on the Patrol Officers so those office admin folks could work about two hours and then go workout and eat lunch! Read the book "Progress Trap" and educate yourself if you can!!!
ReplyDeleteTypical black mother of 5 kids with 5 different black men 911 call:deez mother fuckers tolt me dey don't have no mo chicken nuggets...dat s racist
ReplyDelete@4:55 You obviously don't live in KC's urban core. KCPD is only going to enter your license in a data base and from there its juts luck they run a tag. KCPD has some license recognition cameras that may find it but this is rare. So STFU
ReplyDelete@ 4:44, No dumbass, hit and run is against the law.
ReplyDelete@4:35 you are a bitch. KCPD will tow all cars on major routes in downtown from 7am to 9am and again from 4pm until 6pm. Shut up and keep riding your scooter.
ReplyDelete^^ No, Asshole, they don’t. Unless you are blocking the streetcar line or have amassed a few tickets, they don’t tow. You’re full of shit.
Delete@4:31 you get today's prize of being the biggest dumb fuck of the day. KCPD has enough manpower they just don't utilize it efficiently. So crawl back into your bitch cave and watch Dancing with the Stars.

ReplyDeleteYou see a negro walking down your mostly-white street. You call the police and ask them to shoot said negro. They come and shoot him and throw the body in a ditch. What did the police do for you? A PUBLIC SERVICE!!!
As a registered Democrat, I have to say the party has come unhinged. This is nuts.
ReplyDeleteJesus christ these police call scenarios are a window into the world of the negro. Absolutely hilarious. No wonder the cops just shoot them, fucking nuisance like a raccoon or possum constantly getting into the trash.

ReplyDeleteKathryn Shields is rummaging in your trash can looking for leftovers and you call the police. The police arrives four hours later and Kathryn has already cleaned out your garbage cans and moved on. Police advise you to leave 50 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on your deck and Kathryn will stay out of your garbage cans in the future. What did the police do for you ?
