KCPD Crime Data

[shinatoo]

We are only 2 behind 2020 and homicides sky rocket in the summer. I get it this fourm really wants to sweep crime under the rug

I don't think you understand what "year to date" means.

I can do snark too.

Or snark.

Any downward trend is good news.

There is a saying: "Some people are determined not to be pleased with good news."

There were several shootings yesterday. This was your pathetic attempt to pretend crime isn't an issue many of you had done it for years until it became undeniable in 2020.

Nobody has posted anything close to saying crime isn't an issue in KC. Excited for a down trend in data doesn't mean anybody thinks its solved.

Any early reviews of the Jackson County candidates? I read that the assistant prosecutor is running on the anti-petty and violent crime agenda.

I've already received a flyer in the mail for Gromowsky.

Seems like a lot of downtown, especially crossroads, businesses are being broke into lately. Businesses that you wouldn't think as a "sane criminal" would have a lot to steal once you are inside. Not sure what the answer is, it almost feels like it's not mentally stable individual involved but that's just a guess, and I know KCPD is "too busy" to respond to any crime, so how do we protect our urban core small busineses?

Homelessness is rampant and getting worse in the core. I've seen no real solution or even talk about trying to fix it from representatives. Progressives seem to have a view that living houseless should be a right and we should allow it to continue, that living in public park space or under bridges is their given choice. Traditional liberals would say this is reckless and that we should be providing and demanding drug treatment, mental health care, housing options and removal of outside living. To me, the latter seems uncaring and ultra-idealistic fantasy. It's only going to get worse and crime like you mention will likely increase.
