Just think of how many times an officer is shot on what appears to be a routine traffic stop. Is it only because the officer has a gun or does the shooter have other issues with the law? A simple domestic dispute call can result in an officer being in a position to defend him or her self. If the of...

[quote="aknowledgeableperson"][quote]Your missing the simpler point. We had 408 people shot to death by police last year. [/quote] I am not missing that point. My comments are only concerning this shooting in Ferguson. What you wish to engage in is a whole different topic. But since you br...

And for some of us there is a valid question whether it is ever legitimate for an officer to unload six rounds into an unarmed citizen, no matter how menacing he may be. There has been one question that I have yet seen an answer to - why did the officer shoot? Was he just pissed off at Brown, did h...

So, what you are saying the truth was evident from the beginning with the witness statement that Brown was shot in the back. Many questions remain unanswered after some of the initial statements have been proven false or misleading or inaccurate. The media was quick to believe many of those initial...

So is a kick in the shin. Still not a good endorsement.

I have heard more than a few folks grumble about having one of the more celebrated BBQ restaurants in the capital of the bbq world, Kansas City, carry a name including the word "Oklahoma". They must have heard the grumbles too. That said I am rather surprised they would be willing to give ...

I wonder how the folks at RBI feel about seeing urban baseball diamonds bulldozed for soccer fields.

When I think of the dangers from crime around the work place my mind jumps to workplace shootings. Somehow I doubt either the burbs vs the city hold any monopolies on crazy, pissed off, armed employees.

Per Joyce Smith, MeMa's is expanding by moving into the yogurt store. The owner indicated she needed more dine in seating. Nice to see at least one local, independent tenant making out in the district.

This is going to be bad either way. If they charge and convict, Eric Holder and Obama take the heat for administering charges to placiate the rioters. If he isn't charged, then the riots will continue and get worse. Barring some sort of smoking gun evidence we haven't yet seen, I would put the odds...

Hasn't happened yet.

Prove it.

Where the hell are the mayor and city council in all of this? Why no city meetings to discuss the police response? Why no city meetings to discuss the ham handed police chief? It seems like the lack of a local political response has been a major contributor to the situation festering on for days on ...

I wonder if they wanted to go the sales tax route to justify spending money on transit. I would think the average highway user would cry foul if her gas tax money started going towards a streetcar instead of the highways she drives on. I'm also a little worried that this was the big shot for transi...

I had an experience earlier this week that illustrated the "efficiency" of MCI's design perfectly. Due to a last minute equipment issue they had to change my gate after all the passengers were already behind security. Apparently the only gate they could use was in another security area. Th...

Want to meet somewhere and fight pal???

Dude I get triple miles on my capital one. /Thread over.

Amendment 7 is a no brainer Nay vote for me. Too much highway pork funded through the wrong revenue mechanism.

At least cracker barrel doesn't have a drive through.

standalone developments haven't been wildly successful (see 1ParkPlace). I had to look up 1 park place. Just so we're on the same page, is this the One Park Place you're referring to? http://www.oneparkplacekc.com/index.php If so can you point me to where I can read more about the issues this prope...

I have always heard that Cerner has a bit of a rep for hiring the greenest devs they can find, chaining them to a desk and working them until they burn out and move on. Rinse, repeat.
