EAST SIDE PRODUCTION UP OVER LAST YEAR


I just read on crimescenekc that KCMO has 13 more murders this year over last year at the All Star Break. Earlier this year when the city came out with its number saying that violent crime was down I told you not to pay any attention to it. Many of you said that I was blowing thing out of proportion and that the city is getting safer. REALLY? Safer? To Who?

The Mayor, Police Board, Police Chief and media have no clue as to what is going on it this city. When was the last time there was a press conference given to address all the shootings in this city? When was the last time you watched a story on the local news that covered the gang problem in this city? Yeah I can't remember it either.

This city hides its head in the sand when it comes to crimes and is reactive instead of proactive.

I want to turn on the news at night and see raids on stash houses, gang roundups, guns coming off the streets. The neighborhoods in which these crimes occur need to be put on notice not left alone.
