TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! BLOODY 2017 UNDERWAY!!! KANSAS CITY HOMICIDE COUNT NOW OUTPACING LAST YEAR'S HISTORIC MURDER TOTAL!!!
January 2017 has been an exceptionally violent and deadly month with homicides already outpacing the historic totals from last year.
Counting up a weekend of gunfire, domestic killings and local shootouts IN ADDITION to decaying bodies dredged up by search teams looking for missing women . . . The KCMO murder count for 2017 now stands at 14 compared with 11 at this point last year.
January is an important month for Kansas City crime stats because the cold weather keeps people inside and generally out of trouble. Early New Year's Day deadly shootings kicked off last year's murder spike and were blamed for the horrific body count that added up to 127 at the conclusion of 2016. The count was historic for many reasons but mostly because it was part of the biggest uptick in local murder in more than a generation.
As a response to the increasing carnage, The KCPD Chief is taking one on one meetings with community members regarding crime.
KCPD's most prolific anti-crime activist isn't impressed:
He's got a point.
After year-long meetings from the Citizens Task Force on Violence there is no new plan shared with the public to reduce the murder count that keeps trending upward.
To wit, the question goes out to our blog community . . .
IS KANSAS CITY CONFRONTING EVEN MORE 2017 BLOODSHED THAN LAST YEAR'S HISTORIC HOMICIDE COUNT???
You decide . . .
Welcome to SLie James vibrant Killa City!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the ride!
Detroit is cleaning things up better than Kansas City.
ReplyDeleteA lot of residents don't know that our rate of crime per 100,000 is actually just as bad as Chicago's.
Will the mayor and all these nice white ladies go protest crime on the east side?
ReplyDelete^^^ Please don't hold your breath waiting for that.
ReplyDelete136
ReplyDelete^^^ NOOOOO!
ReplyDeleteTrump Fires Acting Attorney General Who Defied Him
ReplyDeleteNow when can we fire Chief?
Hey Jolie Justus! Aren't you in charge of some kind of task force about crime? Not that anyone would notice....
ReplyDeleteHolding meetings with self appointed leaders does not resolve crime issues in a community. All for show...and to plan to waste some money into their pet programs.
ReplyDeleteTotal FAIL
ReplyDeleteMaybe we could all meet at Houston's on the Plaza today and discuss it.
ReplyDeleteKCMO is a mess. Brand new shiny el cheapo Market rate apartments popping up all over can't hide it.
ReplyDeleteThe chief wants input from people who might try to step up and save his job. He just doesn't want it from anyone north of the river, far south or on the west side. He is no better than the do nothing groups collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars for absolutely no results. His own department knows what to do, they tell us everyday how to fix it. Quit the promotions, get rid of NOVA, end the units that only pander to the public. Put officers back on the streets, demand that the city council provide officers to protect the city. This isn't that hard folks, but if the city continues to listen to this idiot we are in for another horrible year. When will anyone hold the chief to a result oriented job? If he doesn't reduce crime in the next quarter fire him.
ReplyDeleteI have told you people before tough law and order in the streets is the only answer. Better get it done or the President in office will see that it gets done.
ReplyDeleteI'd fire Forte in a second. Without even a second thought. He's not cutting it and crime is going through the roof here.
ReplyDeleteThugs don't care who the chief is.
DeleteHistoric Same old Shit, all year.
ReplyDeleteGuess it draws in readers.
Really need to work on getting people jobs and making income instead of blaming everything on the police. Where are the jobs? Hold the fat cats who run the large corporations responsible.
God forbid Westport, The Plaza, ect would be safe for families to visit after dark.
ReplyDeleteBeing safe areas would be bad for business!
9:33 are you ever a dumb fucking asshole. There are tons of jobs out there. But Obama made it to easy for these crooks to sit on their ass Like Byron for starters and collect a check every month.
ReplyDeleteJobs are everywhere, assholes willing to work isn't!
The Fix-Nothing Farce of SLIE JAMES Symbolic Politics
ReplyDeleteJezuz people wtf is wrong with you!
WAKE UP!
Rap moves on to the year 3000.
ReplyDeleteoverheard monkey man sly james this morning while trying to eat breakfast........ he was with out of town politico bragging about how he always has 2 plain clothes pd with him with really big guns...........what a fucking idiot .........he should have talking about how to stop the murders in this shithole city........What a fucking LAME DUCK
ReplyDeleteKCPD just can not get the job done.
ReplyDeleteFreeze jobs, and wages.
Why don't they host another march down Prospect where the protesters are so fat and overweight they have drive through the protest? Lol
ReplyDeleteC'mon _ Democrat Chi-town is bigger -- but -- KC East of Troost can still top their record 780 murders!! --Hey--the Royals did win the Series-- we can beat 'em!--
ReplyDeletejust keep it all east of Troost --thks
This is a billionaires wet dream!
ReplyDeleteA quick google search shows that the chief is against local control. He blogged about it and has made some statements. Hell, I would be against it too if I had 1800 hours stored up comp time that needs to be payed out, and not held accountable for the out of control crime problem.
ReplyDeletewe all want more east-side murders-- so -- we need to increase our gun control laws.
ReplyDeleteChi-town and D.C. have the strictest gun control laws in the nation...and they're WAAAY ahead of us in shootings!
must be a correlation.
How does one arrange a big rally to have Forte fired.
ReplyDeleteAre permits required?
Notice...
ReplyDeleteThe KANSAS CITY ATHEIST COALITION OF CLOWNS will have no relevant statement to make about any of this or any other matter of real concern.
Please do not bother them with your complaints.
Thank you for your attention.
wow.
ReplyDeleteleadership will be changing the subject anyway they can.
Now he wants the public to do his job? WTF
ReplyDeleteAw this will certainly fix it.

Since you seem to care so much, do YOU have a solution?
DeleteNormal human beings and the white people who are interested in spending money must avoid all of KILLA CITY , just not worth the extra risk of getting robbed , mugged , raped , car jacking by those AMISH BOYZ BITCHES punks !
ReplyDeleteyeah I guess since you're unwilling to admit the problem is black people, you're not confronting it eh Tony?
ReplyDeleteWhen does that realization kick in? Ever?
Know blacks? No peace.
No blacks? Know peace.
Fire the Mayor, and the police Chief.
ReplyDeleteWe got rid of Funkhouser for a whole lot less.
KCPD sucks.
ReplyDeletewhere are the demonstrations and outrage?
ReplyDeleteWhat benefit is it to YOU?
Deletewe'll be holding a rally to encourage blacks to continue their self-destructive behavior.
ReplyDeleteOnce they're all dead it'll turn into a PAR TAY!
