KANSAS CITY STAR & LOCAL LEADERS ARE NOW TARGETING KCPD CHIEF GRAVES WITH FIERCE CRITICISM IN THE ONGOING PUSH FOR LOCAL CONTROL!!!

From our vantage . . .

Patrick Mahomes could be running the KCPD right now but local activists would still find a reason to call him racist and rage against his oppression amid a longstanding effort to gain money & power.

The answer is no.
