Our TKC perspective . . .
KANSAS CITY STAR TACITLY ADMITS NOBODY CARES ABOUT RECENT KCPD TAYLOR SWIFT MOONLIGHTING JOURNALISM!!!
A bit of reassurance about the public trust . . .
The circumstances around this football jaunt are still mostly unknown . . . From our vantage, all the newspaper did was ask a bunch of accusatory questions and very little JOURNALISM (lulz) was offered to readers.
Moreover . . .
One of many plausible scenarios . . . The KCPD captain could've been working a consulting gig for the Chiefs or the NFL that took him briefly into Green Bay for less than 4 hours and then required him to go back to KC on Swift's private plane.
And so we're basically talking about the newspaper haranguing people close to the KCPD Chief and concocting a story out of nearly NOTHING.
What we're certain of . . . As of this writing: The exposé hasn't garnered interest from ANYONE outside of the mayor's office.
In fairness, here's the justification from the newspaper that didn't really resonate ANYWHERE else in KCMO . . .
In itself, Daniel Graves working a second job for a security company isn’t that big of a deal. Off-duty work is the norm in law enforcement circles. The Kansas City Police Department personnel policy and the Missouri state policy state when and where police can perform this secondary security work. However, the KC policy talks about only working within the city limits, and, in addition, states members are forbidden “to act as private security personnel.”
We wonder if it’s the “where” that is at issue. Lots of questions, but no clear answers from officials. If there is there a loophole or reason why there is no violation, we ask the KCPD to be upfront about it. Why is that important? To continue building trust between police and the community by being open and transparent.

Why we must ask about KC police captain, security work and pop star Taylor Swift | Opinion
When we specifically asked the police to confirm whether Daniel Graves works security detail for Swift - they wouldn't. And therein lies the issue. From the Kansas City Star Editorial Board:
