Once again, in Kansas City this weekend EVERYONE is on the campaign trail and looking to garner the support of those last few voters who might decide the election.
In the heated Jackson County race for Sheriff we were tagged with this note via social media . . .
Jackson County Sheriff's Candidate Dwon Littlejohn . . .
"I think my opponent is a little worried and threaten, what do you think? we have had this sign up for weeks now and went to check on it and what did we see.... what do you think we should do. Other than vote him out of office."
JaxCo Sheriff Communication Review . . .
Sheriff Mike Sharp struck first with an organized campaign buying spree focusing on signs and billboards dominating Jackson County early in the year.
Sheriff Sharp's campaign has been well funded with mailers, support from Democratic organizations and cooperation with mainstream media in releasing well-timed promotional stories regarding new develpments in the Sheriff's office. Example: The story regarding apps for Jackson County wasn't just informational but also reveals high tech work from Sheriff Sharp's office.
Mr. Littlejohn's sign campaign is competing with bigger, strategically placed signs throughout Jackson County that are catching attention. Note: Mr. Littlejohn is the only candidate focusing heavily on social media throughout his campaign and the effort at two-way communication is a bit of a pioneering move for a law enforcement office.
Finally, Mr. Poletis has started his campaign a bit late but has been going the traditional grassroots route and started attending public meetings and debates along with some law enforcement endorsements.
Here's a youtube video of an endorsement for Mr. Poletis:
(Retired) Sgt. JJ Barnes from the KCPD Tactical Operations speaks about REAL experience with Poletis (7-26-2012) - Interview
We're coming down to the wire and hope to hear more from all of the candidates in this race for one of the top law enforcement positions in Jackson County.
DEVELOPING . . .
As a supporter of Littlejohn's campaign, I want the public to know something before all the racist comments start and attacks on Littlejohn's character. First,I know that only two campaign workers put out Littlejohn signs and they only place signs on property with the owner's permission. Second,I know neither campaign worker has touched an opponent's sign. Third, I know that in places where an opponent's sign exists, caution has been used in the placement of Littlejohn's sign not to distract from the opponent's sign unfairly. I know that the Littlejohn campaign has done everything in its power to be fair in this race but the campaign keeps having signs taken down by the opponents and signs placed to cover up the Littlejohn signs as depicted in the photo. As a supporter, I really have a problem with a candidate can't control the abuses of their campaign workers. That tells me that can't run a department and explains why the Sheriff's department the last four years under Sharp has violated people's rights to drive without being profiled, had corrupt officers stealing federal funds and so forth. Sharp needs to be run out of office and so should his corrupt officers and staff. I'm voting Littlejohn on August 7th! Now you can start with the racist comments and attacks. I would tell people to consider the source.
ReplyDelete@Tony as far as your comment about Sharp implementing high tech stuff at the Sheriff's office, he stole the idea from Littlejohn! Without revealing too much information now, the ideas that Littlejohn has for the department in regards to social media far exceed a simple minded app that gives you basic information found on the internet already! Littlejohn plans real interaction between the public and police through social media. Sharp's attempts to put it out there now is too little too late and he's copying off of ideas Littlejohn has been speaking about since March. Littlejohn is a leader and Sharp is a follower signed A supporter
ReplyDeleteJust saw a video of Littlejohn destroying a Sharp sign, littlejohn did not have permission to put the signs up at several locations. Little John is a lying thief.
ReplyDeleteAsk the owner at that location?
ReplyDelete"We have had that sign up for weeks..."
ReplyDeleteYea. Duwon is gonna regret that comment...
Even with all the fucking bickering, the fact remains that Littlejohn is not qualified to be a Sheriff, he was fired from Gladstone for incompetence and fired from Jackson Co for incompetence, Poletis was fired from KC, Prairie Village and Lotawana!
ReplyDeleteFacts are facts!
Littlejohn is a liar
ReplyDeleteAccording to the latest Highway Patrol report, 15% of the sex offenders in Jackson County are NOT compliant with the terms of their release back into the community. This means that over 200 non-compliant sex offenders are possibly prowling our communities for their next victim. Maybe if our Sheriff had not been absent the past four years, that numbers would be less. Send the Sheriff a message on August 7th that you are not happy with his job performance. Vote Littlejohn for change!
ReplyDeleteWork diligently and run the campaigns, let the voters decide. Then there will be no need to criticize when the votes are in. Hopefully, those voters 18 years of age and above can be adult enough to accept the results and move on.
ReplyDeleteDon't believe the hype. Learn about the only Sheriff's candidate that is talking to the community about crime and violence. Like Littlejohnforsheriff on Facebook and vote August 7th
ReplyDeleteMurders are rampant in Jackson County. Home Invasions are on the rise! Carjackings every weekend! So while the Sheriff claims increased cooperation with local police departments in combating crime, the truth is he has done very little to address the violence in Jackson County. What he has done is allowed his officers to write thousands of traffic tickets in communities already hit hard with violence. On August 7th, send a message to the Sheriff that his services are no longer needed. Vote Littlejohn, first on the ballot.
ReplyDeleteSocial media means nothing. Look at KCMO. They've gone crazy with social media, yet their department is divided and crime is through the roof.
ReplyDeleteWeek arguement for Littlejohn's campaign and credentials...
Quote from article: "Mr. Littlejohn's sign campaign is competing with bigger, strategically placed signs throughout Johnson County that are catching attention."
ReplyDeleteJohnson County!!!!
I guess that would catch attention!
@5:49 KCPD has other morale issues that are effecting operations and progressive law enforcement means embracing social media as another communication channel between the police and public so I have to disagree with your opinion that it means nothing.
ReplyDeleteLet me clarify. KCMO is trying to use social media as a progressive selling point ( which I get), yet their moral issues have divided the police department. They might be progressive in media, but their moral is in the not progressive Bishop Era. That sir or mam is a failure.
DeleteLittlejohn needs more than a few pics at some political events and a cool Facebook page to show credibility and to garner respect.
There's more to winning the battle then progressive social media.
@5:51 LOL
ReplyDeleteSharp for Sheriff
ReplyDeleteHe knows what county he is in.
Sharp for Sheriff
ReplyDeleteHe's never run over Grandma's crossing the street or smacked a female officer.
Good afternoon, my client removed Mr. Littlejohn sign from location. We now support Sheriff Sharp, also my client donated to Sheriff Sharp's campaign. Last night I put up Sheriff Sharp's sign again... Our employee watched you removing Sharp and Polites signs and putting your sign up again... If you want you can come over and remove your sign or leave it up......your call......... Jeremy Ploeger
ReplyDeleteIf you have any question contact me or my client. Thanks
@6:02 somebody is confused and seems to be having some mental issues. Have you taken your medication today.
ReplyDelete@6:02 He has wasted time at work sending porn in emails so he doesn't have much room to talk.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this TKC. It makes me have no faith in all of the law enforcement officials in KC. They are insane.
ReplyDeleteinteresting interview, but what's with the pillows behind the couch?
ReplyDelete@6:30 I said the same thing. I appreciate the guy's service to the community but you think he would have at least dressed up a little and fixed the pillows.
ReplyDeleteHey Littlejohn, you sir just got schooled.
ReplyDelete@6:55 please don't be ignorant all your life!
ReplyDeleteIs that the Jeremy Ploeger who was used by Victor Callahan in 2010?
ReplyDeletemeh.
ReplyDeleteWhat is with this guy's right arm anyway?
ReplyDeleteLook folks plain and simple all voted in to office for the most part are idiots and only idiots appear to be running.
ReplyDeleteWhats the solution? Start finding good people to be in office and choke off the big money getting who they want in.
All three candidates for the Sheriff position are no good plain and simple. But the issue of finding a good replacement should have started a year ago. Now it's down to the wire and to late. So once again Jackson County loses.
Well I mean Whizzo had great social media but he would have sucked as sheriff.
ReplyDeleteLeast Whizzo was smart enough to know that.
Jackson County only loses when you keep voting the same people into office. Rotate them out every election and maybe something will get done.

I doubt it dwon littlejohn, But I bet you say yes warden in 2013?
ReplyDeleteWhat about the topic of Racial Profiling that escalated immediately following the 2008 election? Pay attention minorities - you're on candid camera and written documentation - and that's a FACT.
ReplyDeleteWas Dwon Littlejohn a candidate for Sheriff in 2008? The answer is "NO."
8:26 pay attention is right....
ReplyDeletehave grandma pay attention when walking so Dwon Littlejohn doesn't run her over.
@9:05 Don't be stupid all your life. You're beating a dead horse. Do a Google search of police car hits pedestrian, or better yet, KCPD hits pedestrian. You will see it happens and usually because the pedestrian was doing something stupid.
ReplyDelete@8:26 I agree with you. The numbers from the Missouri Attorney General's Office are very troubling. When Sharp took office, stops of minority drivers increased significantly while stops of other races significantly dropped.Proactive law enforcement means all numbers rise and discriminatory police work means only targeted groups rise. You are seeing discrimination at its finest and Sharp knew it was occurring and did nothing about it. Why?, because he hasn't ran his department in the last four years, his republican under-Sheriff has! So why do we want Sharp back another four years to do the same thing. That's why I support Litlejohn.
ReplyDelete@3:01 Not Dwon but are you implying that in 2013 if your candidate is re-elected that he will retaliate to all those that supported Littlejohn. I mean that is his thing right? retaliation? I think the citizens of Greenwood would attest to that. Your candidate has tried every single thing to get his opponents disqualified. So stop with the threats. If you could have done it by now you would have. Your candidate needs to run his campaign fairly and on his record. Oh, that right he has no record!
ReplyDeleteLooking at these horrible comments, obviously shills from all sides, I am glad I am voting "none of the above" for Jackson County Sheriff . Glad to say I moved a few months ago to another, obviously more sensible, county.
ReplyDeleteYou people are just embarassing yourselves.
Sorry you feel that way.
ReplyDelete"You people are just embarassing yourselves."
ReplyDelete90 percent of the comments on any post concerning the Jackson County Sheriff is put here by Jeff Jones, who thinks he is clever and effective when he is a rednecked moron.
It's not racial profiling or discrimination if in fact that black people are committing the crimes and they get stopped for it. Quit committing crimes and be an honest person and black people won't get stopped as much. Thug life don't pay idiot!
ReplyDelete@1:37 Don't be ignorant all your life. Go to the report yourself on the Missouri Attorney General's website and read it. You will find although minorities made up the biggest portion of car stops by officers, it was whites that had more contraband found on them that would result in arrest. Stopping a minority did not produce the same results as stopping a white who more likely than not had contraband.
ReplyDelete@11:52 The Sheriff made three mistakes. Using Jeff as his campaign consultant, allowing Hugh to run the department, and allowing Bill to chase pussy while on duty.
ReplyDeleteBill?
ReplyDeleteDon't forget his double dipping at BCBS.
ReplyDeleteTo blame Jeff Jones for all of these comments is false. Why? Because that is to first assume he has internet way the hell out where he lives. It would also imply that he's not busy cleaning Dwon and Poletis clock around town. Lets be real here, if Jones wasn't cleaning their clock, they wouldn't be stealing campaign signs in a COUNTY WIDE RACE. I mean really? The time to steal Sharp signs was last year when they were put up in every yard in Jackson County.
ReplyDelete@12:01 or Jeff, you really need to seek treatment for your mental disorder. Sharp signs are not coming up missing. The only signs coming up missing are Littlejohn's. My neighbor's Littlejohn sign has now been stolen three times. Each Sunday, I pit a new one out for her. Sharp is running a dirty campaign!
ReplyDeleteAnything said derogitory about Sgt. JJ Barnes speaking the truth is said by a fool. I suggest reviewing his record if poletis helped him early on then the public and the officers are missing an opportunity. Going for a porn sending sheriff or a community organizer hows that working ? Hey just saw it in the Star along with other unproffesional conduct that is tolerated. Not a Law Enforcement gency around operates like that.
ReplyDeleteHey! Wasn't Littlejohn one of Robin Hood's men? A thief running for sheriff (of Nottingham). WTF?
ReplyDeleteDwon, Sharp does not even pay attention to you. You are not even on Sharps radar. Sorry to disappoint you Dwon.
ReplyDeleteSharp and Littlejohn both sound like idiots here. I don't think I will support either. If those of you commenting are supporters of these guys, then their leadership sucks. Win the race with your message, not all the back and forth bull.
ReplyDeleteThe only idiot is Mike
ReplyDeleteSharp is not even involved, does not pay attention to this blog, and is not aware of Dwon Littlejohn or his campaign. Sharp is the Sheriff, doing Sheriff work, and running the public safety sector of the county. Sorry to disappoint you Dwon, but this blog is no more than a tool used by hacks like Jones to distract you. You are to wrapped up in your own ego to ever know what this means but its all the same in the end, you loose big.
ReplyDeleteDwon is a victim of his own self-destruction, it is sad that a young man with ambition can be so misguided and full of hate that he would ruin his own reputation by spreading unethical lies and putting out misguided information. The issue of slander will more than likely be addressed at the end of this election. Even more disturbing is Dwon's disregard for individuals that support him. Supporters that once had integrity but Dwon purposely misled them with lies and manipulation to harm thier reputations permanently. Dwon Littlejohn should be ashamed of his actions yet he continues to spread lies with no regard for the consequences.
ReplyDeletePoletis was not fired from Lotawana he stood up for his men when the fag city manager was harassing the officers I was there and I am a deputy. Poletis sued them and got $750,000. He just will not take shit and backs up his men. Unlike some other place. There are a lot more voting/praying for him than you know, JACOSO
