Activists Denounce 'Platt's Reign Of Terror' Against Black Workers After Verdict

This post from a local activist blog is incendiary and anybody else would confront a courtroom battle if they penned it . . . 

However, we're documenting the comment because it sparks an important question: 

HAS THE VERDICT AGAINST THE CITY MANAGER FORCE HIS DEPARTURE?!?!

UPDATE . . . He was just suspended. 

Over the years the guy has been at the razor's edge of getting fired at least three times. 

However . . . There's just no doubt that Platt is EXCEPTIONALLY smart and at every instance he has survived.

Still . . . This big money decision might be the last straw as council has always been close to sending him packing.

For more perspective we provide this quote and link from a newbie activist and then a longstanding leader of the local conversation . . . Check-it:

Among those who have refused to stay silent is Gwen Grant, President and CEO of the Urban League of Kansas City, who has been unequivocal in her condemnation of Platt’s reign of terror against Black city workers. In a statement to The Defender, she declared:

“Brian Platt operates with impunity… His long track record of discrimination, retaliation, and hostility toward Black employees—especially Black women—should have disqualified him from serving in this capacity long ago. The fact that he remains in power despite overwhelming evidence of his misconduct is a damning indictment of the political will in this city.”
