Let's be real . . .

Even some of our most reliable street level citizen media denizens are pointing out daylight mini-riots at the QT . . . And so . . . The "solution" might not be taking hold despite the protestations of local politicos.

Kansas City, Missouri, has seen a nearly 22% decrease in homicides from 2025 and a 24% decrease in homicides compared to the 5-year-average, according to the Jackson County Prosecutor's Office.

KCPD has also seen a significant decrease in group-related violence homicides from 2024 to 2025. 

The decreases come nearly two years after Kansas City launched a coalition to bring violence down, known as SAVE KC.
