And the holiday season starts on a surprising note . . . Following a story that started FIRST on our blog . . .
REMEMBER that OUR KICK-ASS BLOG COMMUNITY talked resignation back in November along with Mayor Sly gathering votes to get rid of the Council dude . . .
KMBC: Kansas City councilman Michael Brooks has announced his resignation, effective after the first of the year.
Fox4KC: The resignation comes after an aide in Brooks’ office accused Brooks of assaulting her, specifically shoving and choking her.
KSHB: At Geary’s recommendation, council members would've adopted a resolution that laid out the process for that disciplinary hearing at a legislative meeting that would've been set for Thursday.
KCUR: "Former aide Tonia Titus has accused Brooks of choking, punching and slapping her in several different confrontations from March, 2012 to November, 2014. The Kansas City Police Department has investigated the allegations, and Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker has asked for a special prosecutor to be appointed to the case."
KCTV5: "In light of the resignation of Brooks, Kansas City Mayor Sly James will discuss the process for ensuring the 5th district's representation on the City Council at 4 p.m."
And here's his resignation letter . . .
December 17, 2014
Mayor/City Manager/Council,
I regret to inform you of my decision to resign from the Council. Due to the ongoing media circus, and out of concern for my family, loved ones, colleagues, church members, and citizens of Kansas City, as well as myself, I believe it is in everyone’s best interest to take this action at this time. Sometime ago, I made the decision to not to run for reelection, and based on all that has occurred, I feel it is not prudent for me to continue my duties at this time.
Therefore, I am offering my resignation today, to become effective January 2, 2015. There are a few projects with the Health Commission, Violence Free KC Committee, and Head Start Advisory Board I'd like to complete and pass on to their leadership. There are personnel issues I need to speak the Director of HR about. I will clear out my office over the holidays. If that is not desirable on your part please just let me know.
It has been an honor serving on the City Council and the citizens of the 5th District. Thank for the opportunity to serve and best wishes.
Sincerely,
Michael E. Brooks, City Councilman
5th District Kansas City, Mo.

Developing . . .
bout time.
ReplyDeleteIs he still working at the Church? Heard he was let go.
ReplyDeleteA cell phone is not this man's friend.
ReplyDeleteDoes this NIGGER now get the lifetime payments, that other former councilpersons are getting? This isn't bullshit, it's real.
ReplyDeleteGame time. Who will council pick to fill out his term?
ReplyDeleteLet's start a list.
Terry Riley?
Nobody cares what you broke or didn't break, but when you've been bullied you're whole life I guess it's fun to get revenge for every slight and insult and dismissal you suffered as a young boy by inflicting as much pain on your targets as you possibly can.
ReplyDeleteRock on with your hate I guess
I think for once, the councilman did the right thing.
ReplyDeleteMan, n-word guy, you are stupid.
ReplyDeleteRecent past council members no longer get these pensions. They were dropped when the city had to do some deep cutting.
So Brooks was never going to get that perk.
They need to cut these council salaries by half.
ReplyDeleteStill no $15K?
ReplyDeleteWell at least his tenure on the council wasn't a total bust. He got some nice trips on the KC taxpayer's dime and $15G for his buddies. Not too shabby.
ReplyDeleteHe thinks this gets him out of the lawsuit or criminal charges but it doesn't.
ReplyDeleteNow if city manager Schulte and the PW director would resign.
ReplyDeleteIf they only knew about half of the stuff the Sly has done. It's not violent but it's sleazy AT BEST!
ReplyDeleteThat resignation letter was written by some WHITE LAWYER.
ReplyDeleteB.S., Brooks wrote that letter. He blames the media and doesn't take responsibility. The letter will also come up in further litigation. Racists can't even get their insults right. Shame on you.
ReplyDeleteHe was a worthless politician and a horrible church leader. This is the biggest disappointment of the council and a sign that we need to change the elected process. They all need to be voted out from Glover on down. Get rid of the old council and get a new one.
ReplyDeleteBrooks will be able to devote more time to learning to use a new smartphone with a high res camera.
ReplyDeletegreat Christmas present now if he could take Circo with him it would be the best Christmas ever.
ReplyDeleteThank you Fanta (intentional sic) Claus!
ReplyDeletePastor Brooks did the right thing, he needs to get back to church and take some of his own advice. City Hall is not the right place for him, too much temptation.
ReplyDeleteNext to go is Glover !
ReplyDeleteThey need to get the guy out of KC. For a minister he is DIRTY and Tonia ain't the only one who knows it.
ReplyDeletewhy are ultra religious people always finding themselves in these odd situations?
ReplyDeleteGo to Lego land with Maddox and kick some ass!
ReplyDeleteNext up, John Miles. That down-low nigger has to go!
ReplyDeleteKC NoVA Op Ice Melt picked another Perp off the street!
ReplyDeleteThe air is so thick you could cut it with a knife, for the love of all things sacred Tony would you please post a new Rosie Jones pic?
ReplyDeleteWTF? We got assholes like this on all these committees?
ReplyDeleteIt's a tribute to the power of the Liberal Narrative in America, soup to nuts, local to national, that this fucking slug, hung in there after cell phone pictures of his dick, financial malfeasance, and choking out his paramour, who works for him, on city property, at city hall no fucking less, while the HR Dept (Laughing up our sleeves.), the Police Dept., the Mayor's office, the City Council and the entire metro area all looked away for as long as possible, because, "HEY, HE IS BLACK, SO WE BETTER TRED LIGHTLY HERE."
ReplyDeleteMaybe, if the fucker would have dug up Mother Theresa and ass raped her on the 50 yard line during half time at the Super Bowl, then an appropriate black person who understands the effects of "Institutional Racism" and "White Privilege" might have been able to broach the subject of a sexual predator, pervert, faux preacher, embezzler, woman beating puke fuck, who represents (And, would have no doubt been reelected.) a city district on the fuckin City Council, just maybe, just after a lot of discussion, just maybe, might have said, "Hey, you gotta quit raping Mother Theresa's dead corpse on the 50 yard line during the Super Bowl! And we are all really sorry about slavery and will give you a raise."
Brutal.
What the fuck ? Does this mean no more negro cock pics for the kale eaters to slurp on ?
ReplyDeleteSurely this can't be.
Nah....TKC will still post Brooks schlong pics.
once again Chuck nails it. Welcome to the Obamanation.
ReplyDeleteHere's the mistake that a lot of you are making. Councilman Brooks is a disgrace to the Black Community in Kansas City as well. He's not from here, he has few roots here, he's the new preacher in town who conned a lot of people. That's the real truth that TKC needs to report.
ReplyDeleteThis man has lied to everyone. It's not about black and white, it's about right and wrong and Council man Brooks has been wrong about everything and everyone. He has trusted the wrong people, spoken agianst the wrong people and done too many wrong things. I hope the he gets the help he needs and finds his way back to the Lord. For his sake and for the sake of those who he claim he has done them harm.
Bill, pretty sure the Lord isn't relevant to this at all. Maybe a little less bible beating would help.
DeleteSorry Bill you are wrong. He is from here born and raise. His mother and father (good people) lives right down the street. I grew up with him and his brothers. He is home grown kcmo.
DeleteSee you later nigger, don't let the door hit you where you dad never did then maybe you wouldn't have grown up so disrespectful.
ReplyDeleteHands Up my ass, just more nigger shines.
Now back to bitching about light rail, marathons, and any female under 30 contributing to the betterment of the community.
ReplyDeleteTKC-Never changes, always moans.
Now J Reed needs to go he did the same thing and sexually harrasses an employee it was settled out of court at AdHoc by the dirty Al Brooks and the board of directors
ReplyDeleteI had hoped that Pastor Brooks would fight those scurvy charges against him and have his day in court where a jury of his queers would excoriate him even thought I would not think a brother would get a fair shake from the very jewdissual system that has been keeping him down since the days of Jim Crow and the making of Old Crow. I have watched this blog and the media simonize this great man. I have never thought that he was guilty of any sexual armadillos. Pastor Brooks has always thought of others rather than himself and that is why he went into politics. He wants to fornicate and pontificate his community from one of weakness to one of strength. Someone should call Reverend Al or Brother Eric Holder to come to town to make right this victim of racism and this undercarriage of justice done to Pastor Brooks
ReplyDeleteKeep this up Mr. Tony simonizing Black men of the cloth and you are bound for Hell. Hell for a Mexican is doing Satan’s roof for eternity where the devil’s sun is always shinning and it is 200 degrees. Do I get an Amen?!?
Agree with Chuck, Bill B. and some of the other people here who aren't drinking the Kool Aid. It's time we clean up City Hall. This is a GOOD START!
ReplyDeleteFirst off Kingfish, you're an asshole. Second, your Lord and Savior Ronald Reagan was a racist and brought back the New Jim Crow. Third, you make light of Sexual Assault towards Women which make you a total bigoted idiot. Everything come down to banality with the feeble minded Kansas City Conservatives.
ReplyDelete+1
ReplyDeleteShame on our City if this the best we can do.
ReplyDeleteMONEYLINE = "It has been an honor preying on the City Council and the citizens of the 5th District."
ReplyDeleteNice find, what a horrible person. I hope people think before they run for office next time around.
ReplyDeleteHow many rapist you think Sly James let go when he was a JAG Lawyer?
ReplyDeleteThe Reverend Doctor Bishop Kingfish Jackson, Jr., III
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!
Always enjoy reading your sermons.
FUNK WINS!
ReplyDeleteHey Kingfish, I suppose those sexting pictures was "the man" keeping him down too?? Have him bring those photos when he has his day in court. Idiot.
ReplyDeleteKingfish is a cracker as if you couldn't tell
ReplyDeleteBrooks comes from a long line of poverty pimps
ReplyDeleteShame on this guy, not a single apology to the people who voted for him. He should be ashamed.
ReplyDelete3:24 PM is right. Sly James believes he's beyond reproach; as does Jermaine Reed. Black politicians leave a lot to be desired. Mr. Brooks should have ran without calling himself Pastor. He swindled lots of people by doing that - setting an expectation of excellence while deliver everything below that. It doesn't stop with Brooks. There's a litany of violations stemming from this horrid Mayor and the rest of the council and its just a matter of time before those scandals surface, too. Mr. Brooks isn't alone. There's enough scandal to raze City Hall.
ReplyDeleteGod will forgive him if he asks for it and does what he feels is right. People have done worse. God bless this man and I hope he can find his way through these challenges.
ReplyDeleteIf he's pilfered money, beat a woman in his office, taken advantage of a woman needing counseling, flopped his chicken on a jpeg and texted it. I feel safe we deconstructed enough information on the Rev that there are many things he's hoping doesn't come up in court?
ReplyDeleteWhat's the gripe. Brooks only did what every citizen wants to do damn near every time there is an encounter with one of those lazy, smart assed city bureaucrats.
ReplyDelete4:18 you have stated where the bar has been set for city bureaucrats. Missing money, no problem. Sending pixs of your junk, no problem. Chock holding a staff member..fine line due to further discovery of overlooked behavior. You can already hear the herd lining up to take his place. What other job can one hold and behave this way? Government jobs are the best thing going.
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of private sector jobs that are cherry positions. City Council approves many contracts the private sector clips fat cigars in celebration. You can pretend Corporate America doesn't run government at a time we are witnessing collapse of globalization but it doesn't change what everyone sees.
ReplyDeleteJust another grifting dueschbag!!
