Mayor Q Regrets KCPD Hard Times Ahead Of Next Defund Lawsuit

Don't worry that headline wasn't supposed to make sense in much the same way that Mayor's Q social media stunt hopes to confuse locals about his standing on funding police.

First, let's pay credit to his tech confusion . . . Here are the basics from a social media open letter posted by Mayor Q today . . .

The officer states their coworkers are in the 1-5 year range with the department. Mayor Q posted it on his Facebook page Thursday morning.

They say poor starting pay, leadership, specifically deputy chiefs, and being overworked are the three reasons workers are leaving KCPD.

"I think more fundamentally the people of Kansas City have a fundamental right to say, 'Where's all the money going?' Lucas said in an interview Thursday.

Reality check . . .

MAYOR Q IS SOON TO START YET ANOTHER LAWSUIT AIMED AT DEFUNDING KANSAS CITY POLICE AFTER MISSOURI MANDATED MORE MONEY!!!

It's all pretty confusing and even the newspaper refuses to admit that Show-Me legislation is an overall increase in funding . . . Instead they piddle with Handcock Amendment concerns and share wild theories with readers about a funding decrease.

We like Fox4 reporting inasmuch as they at least offer the surface level of this story.
