Downtown Kansas City Momentum: Dude Bashes Cop In Head At Grocery Store

There are a lot of people who witness the nice crowds, posh locations and fun times downtown and discount the worsening Kansas City crime problem.

However . . .

THE BRUTAL ATTACK AGAINST KCPD AT THE DOWNTOWN GROCERY STORE SIGNALS RISING PUBLIC SAFETY THREATS INSIDE THE LOOP!!!

Sorry . . .

But using half-year stats to claim it's safer on local streets actually serves to endanger locals and gives people a false sense of confidence.

This report is reality and signals horrific threats confronting officers . . .

The incident happened about 8:15 a.m. on Sunday, June 30 at Cosentino's Downtown Market, 10 E. 13th Street.

A police department sergeant in uniform was working off-duty at the store when he asked Jorge Arroyo to leave the store because Arroyo had been caught stealing before at the store, according to a news release from the Jackson County Prosecutor's Office.

He put Arroyo's belongings outside the store

Arroyo allegedly "became enraged," according to the news release, picked up a metal chair and hit the sergeant in the head with the chair.

Arroyo continued to beat the officer after the officer dropped to the floor, according to the news release.
