Kansas City Mayor Q Responds To River Market Crime Crisis & Ice Cream Criticism

Check the exchange aftermath and what seems like social media flexing without any real impact on the situation from either side .  . . Still, this quote from Mayor Q is likely the most relevant update to the conversation:

(Mayor) Lucas responded to a string of comments on the post, speaking directly with the owner and answering a number of questions and concerns from other individuals on the platform. In one comment, he wrote:

“Being proactive does involve more patrols and some of what the ordinance you critiqued in the statement above and local news provides which is support for preventative measures to property crimes, allowing for better security at businesses. With steadier enforcement, I’d expect better deterrence of repeat players. That said, the young age of many of our assailants suggest that some may not be deterred in the same way most adults would be. It also suggests there may be a steady stream of new offenders. This is why people do look for ways to divert poor behaviors earlier with teens and preteens.”

Although Shatto has had conversations with Lucas, he told FOX4 reporter Kelli Peltier Monday that he has not heard any updates from the mayor nor the Kansas City Police Department about what they are doing to stop crime in River Market.
