While most are happy about the new Chief, here's a sentiment that many locals share . . .
“It was very clear they had made up their minds,” Humphrey said.

Finalist for KCPD chief says commissioners were 'not comfortable with an outsider'
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Kansas City has a new police chief, but the man who was passed up for the job told 41 Action News Friday he was surprised by the announcement. 41 Action News spoke with Norman, Oklahoma Police Chief Keith Humphrey, the other finalist for the police chief position, after the announcement that Major Rick Smith was named police chief.
His spite and sour grapes is a strong indication he was only in it for himself, not the city. This is proof he was not the right candidate.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteThe time it would have taken him to get acclimated to the department, city, and community would have been extensive. Add on his audit plans and any delayed implementation of programs or initiatives. We're talking 2 years. Chief Smith already has what is needed and will get to work on day 1. The right choice was made.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention his lack of experience in a large department in a violent city. They made the correct choice. Sore loser.
DeleteIt's obvious that Chief Humphrey isn't aware that decisions made by KCMO government have nothing to do with merit, common sense, best practices, careful thought and deliberation, cost, or taking the best interests of the public into account.
ReplyDeleteOf course the skids were greased and he was just window dressing for the charade.
Insider dealing, paying off contributors, kowtowing to the demands of special groups, backslapping, PR claims...
Now we're talking!
Now Humphrey can watch what happens in KCMO for the next couple years and be happy he came in second.
But, what isn't for the most part rigged in Kansas City?
ReplyDelete^^^ Dave has a point. A very good one. When corruption dominates the politics of a city. That trend has it's way of impacting every aspect of local governance.
ReplyDeletebutt hurt libtard loser and I guarantee sLIE put him up to it. Mayor bully don't like to lose, the police board actually listened to the citizens instead of his azz
ReplyDeletesLIE James International Airport is feeling the winds of change and it scares him. I'm guessing he's starting to finally realize people are on to his b.s. ways of scamming the citizens. He apparently thinks he's Barry obama jr and everybody will do whatever he says without question. Can you hear the winds of change sLIE?
ReplyDeleteYup 6:40 he also hears and smells his own breaking wind all day long. Stand back when the Magilla's nostrils flare and the bow-tie flutters.
ReplyDeleteKansas City loses again.
ReplyDeleteOr well it's fly over country anyway.
Like KC did not just get a royal fucking? Give me a break.
ReplyDeleteNIG CLAIMS RIG
ReplyDeleteHow bad do you think it could get with crybaby libtard butthurt loser from Oklahoma. I'm betting he was gonna be in bow ties back pocket had he got hired. He got both libtard votes, shurin and slime balls
ReplyDeleteHere goes another decade without a real police chief. Maybe someday KC will be as smart as Wichita and go to a major metro to find and new chief and increase the homicide solved rate by 20 points.
ReplyDeleteIt's gonna always be this way folks, we are the only po po dept. in the ENTIRE COUNTRY run by the state. Take a wild guess why?
ReplyDeleteThe main problem is junkies burglarizing,robbing in Midtown Westport the Plaza all over the metro area. They can't find a job because they can't pass a drug test.
ReplyDeleteWord is that the female from Detroit was the front runner but she took the Dallas job. This guy just proved the BOC right for not choosing him.
ReplyDeleteThe main problem is the bullhorn and Troy handcuffed the police dept's budget by limiting the amount of officers on the streets during a 24hr day. We gots to shift monies to the real portent shiot like Airport, toy train and new hotel. Then you got the worthless city attorneys holding them down. The bigger problem than petty theft by junkies is the blacks, just the truth and nothing but
ReplyDeleteCrime didn't used to be a problem for most of the city then bully bullhorn got in office and now nowhere in the city is safe, hell it's even spilled over into the Kansas side thanks to slimeball James lack of controlling his peeps
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea how close he was to being chief. The Governor appointed a police commissioner the day before the decision. That commissioner took Al Brooks place. Assuming Brooks would vote with the mayor along racial lines, the vote would have been 3-2 the other way. Thanks Gov, you saved the day!
ReplyDeleteRick Smith was the man for the job. If you're going to have a shitty chickenshit police department, you need to have a shitty chickenshit police chief. It will all work out this way.
ReplyDeleteCrime didn't used to be a problem for most of the city
ReplyDeleteWrong.
The negroes were always here, raping, killing and behaving like the subhuman animals they are.
How's about claiming that there was racist bias in KILLA CITY police chief decision ? It was definitely the best choice ! The guy BITCH from Oklahoma couldn't direct traffic in KILLA CITY , let alone be in charge of the cops . The new Chief has tons of experience in the areas that matter to get the department on the right track !
ReplyDeleteOf course he is pissed off. He was told the job was his, and sounds like he thought it was rigged in his favor. At the very last moment a 5th commissioner was added. That can't be an accident. That vote had to be in favor of Smith. If so, the governor finally made good on his promise of draining the swamp. The mayor must be pissed!!! Watch the video, the room cheered when Smith was announced. If the troops are happy with Smith they deserve it.
ReplyDeleteReal Question for Police Board...why did we end up with two mediocre candidates?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad there's finally a white city official again.
ReplyDeleteanother KCPD Epic Failure
ReplyDeleteWe ended up with two mediocre candidates because there is no sense is spending money to recruit when you already know how things were going to end. This process was nothing but a cover yer arse dog and pony show.
ReplyDeleteSmith will go down in flames as the libtards and boons turn into cannibals against him, make him out to be a black hating racist and run his ass out with a ritualistic race baited tar and feathering. Of course this crucifixion will serve as rationalization for local control of KCPD.
I got a QUESTION ???????
ReplyDeleteIs this new POLICE CHIEF related in any way to GOMER PYLE ????
I mean they got the same type of smile,,,,
Just wondering, they look very similar !!!!
