Every woke white woman's worst nightmare has occurred.

and dozens more that go a little further back
Shit, I would rather the city take the big leap of putting in a light rail system, at least that makes some sort of sense. Not building a road that hardly anybody will drive on because they are charging approx $50 per month for its usage and of course spite. People that didn't want this (almost everyone) will refuse to utilize it strictly due to spite and they are wanting it to fail so that this type of idea NEVER happens again.
All elections have consequences and we are seeing that in the city, county, judges, and school board now more than ever in JOCO. It seems that there is a major push in the county to create a political class of elites. Maybe they grew up watching too much West Wing. Political hipsters! Idiots that want to take what made JOCO great and turn it into some left coast shit hole.
Stop your crying and get a shot! Now having said that...
Notice that all of a sudden liberals are trying to say this is a Republican issue? Was it not the party of idiots that said that they wouldn't trust any "Trump vaccine" that is now saying that Republicans don't get shots? How many of these people pushing Covid shots are the same people that refused to get their kids shots for school? Trust me, I know these recent converts to woke liberalism that raise their kids on supplements, whole foods, and few vaccinations that are suddenly all pro-science because some idiot on MSNBC or celeb on Twitter said it was cool Weak-minded lost souls.
In the story, the idiots at the Star actually believe that "white meat" stands for white supremacy.... COME ON! Everyone in the world knows that PORK is the other white meat. Slang for cops is PIGS! HOW can they be confused about what this symbolizes to everyone and anyone that doesn't work for the Star (or KC city council). To read quotes from protest attendees is really kinda funny considering that they are coming from within a city that has some of the highest per capita black-on-black crime, murders, shootings, and rape in the nation. Also, this shit isn't new but blaming the PD for it is.
Calling white meat "white supremacy" is such a bad lie that you would expect someone that is supposed to be reporting on this issue would actually bring up the whole Pork/Pig white meat angle but noooooooooooo. They bought it.
I say that we pull the cops off the streets that folks claim to be getting slaughtered in on a daily basis by cops and reallocate them towards neighborhoods that would like to see an increase in officers to solve cases etc.. Once we do that, let's go back into those neighborhoods in 3 years and do a quality of life comparison. The results will not shock anyone with a brain.
If you were trafficking in illegal narcotics, prostitution, fencing goods, etc.. would you want more or less police on the streets? Where do you think a lot of the funding for these protests is coming from? Do you think that drug traffickers are stupid? One of the biggest expenses besides product in the drug game is legal fees. Fewer cops mean reduced legal fees, no time off the streets, and easier distribution of the product. Some of these protestors probably don't understand this and gladly take the $$$ for "the cause".
For decades there were already neighborhoods in the city that cops refused to patrol due to safety issues and with this increase in hate I do not expect that to change anytime soon. Don't believe me? Go ask a KCMO cop what Jurrasic Park is or what the "50's" signify.
It seems that people are sick and tired of being called racist and hearing about how corrupt the police are and how even more money is needed to fight "insert the flavor of the month cause". In the meantime, stories from the North & South of the city get ZERO coverage, sports are poorly covered and JOCO is slandered. To say that "The Star" has jumped the shark on racial issues in this town MIGHT be the biggest understatement I have ever made on this blog.
The local newspaper can't keep staff, hides articles behind a paywall, hides the names of authors of editorials behind the phrase "editorial board" and takes up political causes instead of trying to at least maintain some sort of charade of impartiality. It almost seems like they think that they are going to create change instead of reporting on it. Good luck, when your subscriptions have plummeted and people see your approach for what it is.
People are sick of being lectured and are ready for NEWS.
Now I know that most of the Star writers are new to the area BUT NKC has discussed leaving KCMO since the freaking 80s. This isn't news but it is a way to tie into their post-George Floyd narrative that all white people or people of any color that disagree with liberal talking points and socialist policies are either racist or self-hating people of color. Let us not forget that for close to a century the KC STAR was the chief racist in town. Ever speak to a reporter/writer of color that use to work there? There are LOTS of stories.
The KC Star then post a story that EVERYBODY in the city already knew about, the guy that Troost was named after was kinda a bad dude. Missouri was a slave state (those of us on the Kansas side know this well) and there is a lot about the city that was wrong. But let us not forget who has run KCMO for Generations, DEMOCRATS!
If KCMO is a racist city, then look no further than the Democrats that have run the city since my grandparents migrated here. The KC Star and elected officials need to take a long look in the mirror before pushing out false narratives but maybe this is part of their plan.
Democrats in KCMO are like the kid in class that farted and then proceeded to blame everyone around them that were just minding their own business.
