REP. RIZZO URGES KANSAS CITY POLICE BOARD TO CHOOSE LOCAL!!!



Check the money quote from MO District 40 Rep. John Rizzo:

"As a State Representative who proudly represents the Northeast part of Kansas City, I am urging the police board to select a local candidate as the next Chief of Police . . . It is of the utmost importance to have a Chief of Police that understands the innter workings of the Kansas City Police Department and has a standing relationship with our brave officers on the street."

    Red Alert!! Red Alert!! Tony, your fellow Hispanic Mr. Ortega is in deep trouble!! He has outraged local versions of the Politically Correct Thought Police by saying something frightfully unPC--"Police officers deserve due process." To stay in the running he must take immediate remedial action!! I suggest he issue a press release saying that the late Dr. George Tiller was the greatest MD since Albert Schweitzer--that might give him a chance to get back in the running!! Sincerely and Respectfully, Ernest Evans

    It doesn't make any difference in who the chief of police is unless the culture of the police department is changed.

  7. Call me crazy... but why don't we try to find someone that has experience actually getting results instead of a bunch of professionals that have helped over see utter failure.

    Why replace the outgoing loser with the next loser in charge.

    Or maybe you can think of it this way:

    If Cassel sucks and finally calls it quits, do you really think Palko is the guy that should be counted on?

    Get an outsider to clean that whore house.

  9. We have tried outsiders before and it was a disaster let keep the new Chief local and hold him to some standards and if he does not work move on.

  11. Hire from the outside.

  12. Really do wish more local elected officials would get involved. This isn't a controversial statement. It's what most people want.

  13. State Representative ????

    Oh yeah. I get they're the ones getting the Capital Grille treatment.
    They don't want to miss out on the steak and lobster. Best keep things the way they are.

  14. The Capital Grille Gang wants their share of the Public Safety Sales Tax Dollars.

    Waiter! Champagne!

  15. We need to keep someone with experience you are talking about three officers in that mess , we have good local candidates that can be picked.

    ReplyDelete
  16. No we're talking about a culture of corruption.

    ReplyDelete
  17. We shouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water. I agree with Mr. Rizzo. I like it when our leaders lead.

  18. It is of the utmost importance to have a Chief of Police that understands the innter workings of the Kansas City Police Department

    Translation---- We need a person who knows who's dick to suck.

  19. "we're talking about a culture of corruption." - How did we get on the subject of Local 42?!?

    ReplyDelete
  20. If we're on the issue of real corruption, we should be talking about the KCFD take over of MAST!

    If, corruption is the concern, some people posting on this blog really need to do some more google searches or research into the two outside candidates. Neither is a model of integrity. The guy from NC was involved in "ticketgate" according to their local media. The guy from NY was involved in a cover-up of a gay bashing incident. Not exactly the kind of guys I want running the largest police department in the area!

    Compared to what?
    What we have now?
    Third most dangerous city in the USA?

    So what's your point.
    We never had it so good?

    ReplyDelete
  23. A pointless comment about something that Rizzo has absolutely no responsibility for or ability to influence.
    What is his position on local control of the police? Would he introduce legislation to make that happen?
    Let's hear some positions about some legislative issues.

    7:27 - The point is we should all hope for and demand a police chief with higher integrity than the two outside candidates appear to have exhibited with their current agencies.

    ReplyDelete
  25. And the inside candidates have what as far as integrity?

    ZERO. NADA.

    They supported the last Police Chief with zero integrity.

    Why support gingerbread men because their BLACK????? I think NOT !!!!!!

    You have a poorly supported argument when viewing the current state of affairs at KCPD and The current homicide rate in Kansas City.

    Maybe your one of the boys from the Capital Grille????

    ReplyDelete
  27. Holy Batshit, still with the third most dangerous city...do these stats include spider bites and death from heart disease, cause we're also third fattest. Use CRIME stats when referring to the PD they are the only things we can effect...we can't stop some dillrod from walking out in the street and getting hit by a car or some douch-bag from running a red light and taking out a bus full of KCMOSD, that now have to be bussed to Kansas to find the closest decent public school. Do you get paid to make a comment on everyone of TCK's stories to add it's the third most dangerous city? Must be one of the happily unemployed that's living off my tax dollars and bitches about what they don't get out of every public service that they don't pay for.

    ReplyDelete
  28. God forbid we have someone come in from the outside and ruin his career trying to clean up KCPD.

    ReplyDelete
  29. John RIZZO? Uh, yeah I bet he wants someone local. Like someone on the Rizzo payroll. Some things in KC never change.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Yea, we don't need some out of town guy with a learning curve. The local candidates already know where the Capitol Grille and all the other expensive restaurants in the city are and they certainly know that the police board are a bunch of wimps.
    They're ready on day one!

  31. Reward mediocrity. Hire local.

    ReplyDelete
  32. (continuation of quote) .."These reasons and more are why I am recommending my dad, Henry Rizzo, as the next Chief of Police." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    ReplyDelete
  33. 9:37 PM - "Must be one of the happily unemployed that's living off my tax dollars and bitches about what they don't get out of every public service that they don't pay for." - Pretty close! It is more likely KCFD union members sitting around the station with nothing better to do.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Even the local candidates are talking about listening tours and other nonsense. They have heard the gunshots for years and that's all they need to listen to to know we have an out of control problem in the black community. Why not do something drastic and forget political correctness for a change, build a jail and lock them up. Try the tent jail guy approach and make them wear pink jumpsuits and clean up their old neighborhoods instead of lift weights and watch big screens?
