Former KCPD Attorney Claims Retaliation Amid Fight For Law License

This is probably one of the most important stories in Kansas City right now for reasons that aren't reported in any local outlet. 

And so we'll start the conversation with an open question . . .

IS THIS KCPD WHISTLEBLOWER ARGUMENT REALLY ABOUT SO MANY FACTIONS FIGHTING WITH EACH OTHER WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT?!?!?

Talk to any cop and if they know about this story . . . Their opinions will be EXCEPTIONALLY revealing. 

For now . . .

Credit where it's due . . . Here is some EXCEPTIONAL reporting that we don't want to skip over:

"Ryan McCarty appeared before a three-member panel after the Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel opened a case against him alleging he violated client confidentiality rules. A former city councilwoman and former KCPD sergeant also appeared before the panel, among other witnesses.

"McCarty served as assistant general counsel for the police department for about six months — from June 2022 until he was fired on Dec. 7, 2022.

"When he was no longer an employee, McCarty sent out an 8-page letter unleashing allegations about malfeasance in the department’s Office of General Counsel, or OGC. He claimed his boss withheld public records and suppressed potentially exculpatory documents in criminal cases. He also alleged there was a toxic work environment where he was subjected to demeaning treatment. People of color were also targeted, he said.

"McCarty said he had a constitutional duty to raise the issues, which he considered to be at a higher level than the rules set out for attorney conduct. He also said he believed the action taken to have his law license potentially revoked was retaliation."
