KC NoVA's impact on the Historic Northeast
Like many Kansas City residents, KCPD Captain Thad Seever didn't have a clear understanding of what the Kansas City No Violence Alliance (KC NoVA) was until he joined the organization as a commander a few months back. Seever had envisioned a squad of sorts, consisting mostly of police officers.
Face it, he’s just trying to prove he’s worth all that money he makes.
ReplyDeleteOf course it doesn’t work. Anyone who says it works is a lying cocksucker.

ReplyDelete“When we first started this initiative in the Northeast, we identified a group of eight individuals that we believed were causing the most disruption,” Seever said.

Really nice detail in this article but Summer has just started so it's easy to be optimistic.
ReplyDeleteThe only success NOVA has consists of pointing to Kansas City's horrific Crime Rates and saying...
ReplyDelete"You should see how bad it would be if we weren't working so hard. Now shut up and hand us money!"
The inner city needs a good guy vigilant group. What are cement blocks and the Missouri river and The MLK bridge for ?
