The obvious, and probably correct, answer to skeptiicsm about the current federal crackdown is that violence would be much worse without help from federal law enforcement.
However, there's no denying the rising level of gunfire, violent crime and murder on local streets no matter how many encouraging reports about recent arrests are broadcast.
And so we ask our blog community . . .
IS OPERATION LEGEND WORKING IN KANSAS CITY?!?!?

No. Everything Trump touches dies.
ReplyDeleteIf the dimwits are complying about it then it’s working perfectly, they can’t stand it when our great President Trump does something that works for the citizens. Dimwits arent called dimwits for nothing you know! Hahahahaha!
ReplyDelete1:35 is a perfect example of the dimwit stupidity that people like Nancy palooza, Chuck the schmuck shoomer and mayor mckneely want. Young and dumb!
^^^ “Complaining”, stupid spell check
ReplyDeleteLet’s use the liberal justification line: “if it can save one life, then it’s worth it”
ReplyDelete^^Or we could use the Conservative motto of "fuck everybody else, I'm getting mine"
ReplyDeleteYes. It’s working.
ReplyDeleteLong live the Chief...Trump2020
ReplyDeleteand yet he's no longer the Chiefs in 4 short months. Weird.
ReplyDeleteIt has gotten a bunch of guns away from felons, and gotten more than a few arrested. If that's within your definition of working, then yes it worked.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt the prosecutor's office does not enjoy being shown up like it has been. Maybe they will start trying harder. If so, chalk up another success to Operation LeGend.
^^and yet it hasn't done anything more than what the KCPD was already doing so...
ReplyDeleteIt has worked because the feds aren't afraid to arrest criminals. The Ferguson Effect, reinforced by any black man shot or harmed by cops, freezes law enforcement. Why would you arrest someone when you could look the other way and save yourself some trouble? I don't blame KCPD at all.
ReplyDelete^^I blame Trump. He said he would fix it, he hasn't.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Obama, in January 2016, say he was curing Cancer? How's that going?
Delete^^And thank you for your wise input.
ReplyDeleteBlame Trump, not the people committing the crime. Liberal talking point. Nice job, commie.
ReplyDeleteOnly surefire solution is to remove blacks from the population.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard a dimwit make a case for the violence they engage in other than “we hate
ReplyDeleteTrump”. Many of us hated Obama and didn’t tantrum for four years. The people aligned with BLM and other criminals are immature and can only blame Trump for everything.
