The tragic reality is that there's nothing "new" about a recent crime prevention plan revealed by the Mayor, the Jackson County Prosecutor and chief of police today.
Moreover . . .
This "plan" isn't just bereft of new ideas, it's dishonest with the public inasmuch most residents realize that all of the politicos presenting this scheme are at war with one another behind the scenes.
The mayor was outed in his promise to join forces with groups working to oust the top cop. Meanwhile, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker has been feuding with KCPD for at least the past two years. Apropos for campaign season, she has recently added the fight against police brutality to her agenda.
Translation: These politicos can't cooperate with each other and so their ability to lead the public in reducing violence is suspect.
Worst of all, a close look at the news cycle today offers insiders a more realistic glimpse at the effort . . .
KANSAS CITY NEWSIES REGARD THE "NEW" CRIME PREVENTION PLAN AS NOTHING MORE THAN A BAD JOKE!!!
Covering this story was an assignment given to mostly rookie or no-name reporters and the media isn't putting a lot of energy into broadcasting it because viewers don't like hearing more empty promises. For the past few years, every time the murder count gets out of control a similar "new plan" is promoted and has little or no impact on the homicide rate.
The bloodiest year in Kansas City history is quickly becoming a reality and if this is the answer to the increased carnage then locals can reasonably expect the slaughter on local streets to persist.

KCUR: ‘Enough Is Enough': Kansas City Mayor Announces New Approach To Tackling Violent Crime
Deets:
"It targets things like better-lit neighborhoods, connecting with at-risk individuals, a higher crime clearance rate and stripping the city code of discriminatory policies . . . There will be a large community component to the plan.
City leaders will start going on walks around neighborhoods with their residents on Thursday to hear more about what they need in order to deter crime in their areas.
"Let's make the community the first part of it. Let's make neighborhoods the focus," Lucas said while emphasizing the need for officials and community leaders to listen to members of the community. "We're not just saying we don't care about your opinion because you got in trouble."
You decide . . .
But it's totally going to work. The mayor would never say one thing and then do another? Right?
ReplyDelete^^^ why not. Every other politician has done it.
DeleteBut I thought the violence was going to stop on day one of President Trump's term? That's what he said. Now it looks like the violence is worse than ever. I guess that's one more thing the president didn't deliver on, like his border wall.
DeleteOn pace for 200 homicides and cutting the PD manpower. Enjoy the future KC residents...200 homicides will be the norm. Go Kathryn Shields, your defund plan is great for the city. You’ve been in city government as long as Biden in Congress., How about moving on now?
DeleteSo the headline says it FAILS TO CONVINCE KANSAS CITY but the words don't really offer any supporting evidence to back that up.
ReplyDeleteIt's like Donald Trump had a blog.
^^^ You don't seem convinced.
DeleteSo I guess that means the post was correct.
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!
Come back a few more times to check on the progress. Bitch.
I know TKC occupies a big space in your mind but he ain't as important as Trump. And if you think KC crime is going to get better because of this plan, you're stupider than your shite comment.
I'm convinced that Kansas City is the next Detroit.
ReplyDelete6:01 it already is with Portland and Seattle mixed in for even more stupidity.
ReplyDeleteThe chief is the only one of the three with a totally functioning brain, lickass and Petersucker.... ewwww that’s disgusting. Are flaming libtards that If they get their way will totally kill the city and counties surrounding kc. Fact.
So how many times did que ball say “and frankly”.... when he says that, get ready for a string of lies coming out of his asshole.
ReplyDeleteI am curious about one thing, when Petersucker loses and the hot black conservative from blue springs wins what will happen to this grandiose plan? He’ll be out numbered two to one then.
ReplyDelete"stripping the city code of discriminatory policies" political speak for you're not going to hold minorities of any crimes they commit
Congratulations Q and JPB you've both proved once again you're nothing but activists and will further ruin this city
"connecting with at-risk individuals".
ReplyDeleteJust what in the fuck does that mean?
I know. I know. ......nothing.
^^^^
ReplyDeletelikely that it means more handouts to bums who have a minor political connection and can bring a few votes home.
Trump lied, people died.
ReplyDelete^^^
ReplyDeleteBiden is hiding.
Make sure you include dumbass Major Doug from East. I’m sure he will bring his 4 pastors he always references to that, you know, can handle everything. It’s worked so well for him. Fucking dumbass. Get someone there that will build relations with the community. He has been the worst thing for EPD since, fuck I can’t remember anyone worse in the past 25 years I have lived here and we have had some winners. How did he get that job? He must be a great fluffer. Sorry I should not say things like this, but I’m just fed up with my community and what has happened since his arrival.
ReplyDelete“Lucas fails to convince Kansas City”
ReplyDeleteHe’s failed at everything he’s touched so far so why would we evar think he could convince anyone other than blm/antifa, gibsme coalition and gopherkc because he’s a dumbass cocksucker who’ll do anything to keep that easy City paycheck coming but I digress. One huge failure after another with this loser.
Lickass lied and people died
ReplyDeleteNo city jail, low high school graduation rate in the inner city, cut police, and reward poor choices. What did you think was going to happen?
ReplyDeleteTotal bullshit as usual
ReplyDeleteHa Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!! LOL LOL LOL! A moron black mayor totally over his head in bullshit. A white moron prosecutor who is over her head in psychosis. A black County Sheriff who is over his head in hallucinations of competence. Remember when he became KCPD Chief and everyone was celebrating the new Police Jesus who would stop crime and cure a racist Dept.? How did that work out? Black local elites are a cancer that dissolves the bones and flesh of a once great town. Just wait till they let all those awful police officers go and see how that works out. KCMO voters will get everything they deserve, all 10" with no lube. Its called Detroitification.
ReplyDeleteNever let Jack Cashill forget that he assured people that the Mayor would be OK not to worry. Are you listening Jack? How'd that work out for KCMO?
ReplyDeleteMayor McDrinkerson still imagines thst citizens take him seriously after his pandering failure to govern.
ReplyDeleteThe WILD WILD WEST IN THE BANANA REPUBLIC. You have angry people and mental people with guns. Stay out of high crime areas.Let the criminals shoot each other. LIKE IN MOST BANANA REPUBLICS .REBELS WILL BE REBELS SINCE I DON'T know when .
ReplyDelete6:48. "Build relations with the community".
ReplyDeleteWhy does the Black community have to have their hands held to function in society? Why do they have to have authority kiss their ass to behave?
Seems a little dysfunctional, who else needs this coddling? Seems like stroking to keep from getting bit. Just goes to show how under developed the culture is. I guess it is my white privilege that I can go about my life without shooting hoops with the cops.
Crime prevention is a fantasy. Your best attempt would be to provide good jobs with good wages. Why don't you try that?
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to transform the city funded Linwood Grocery to an annex for the City Jail? Maybe the council should hire Jermaine Reed(MBA) to write a report on the feasibility of this. Maybe Mr Reed could travel to several other cities like Baltimore, Detroit and Atlanta to discuss this possible jail expansion with other urban leaders. Of course this travel would be on the City expense account.
ReplyDeleteMayor dumbass has been announcing his “snitch plan” in every neighborhood but where blacks live, why is he afraid to go to where the problem is? I’m tired of his dancing around the blacks and trying to make this look like it’s not a murderous black problem.
