@Phil Titola , don't you work underneath 'slys desk? What's KCMO's crime rate like these days? We still ranked in the top 25 in the nation? 
sly titola: the mayor doesn’t control the police force therefore he cannot control crime in the city which he governs
Local control of PD (like every other city in the nation) would be a good step and would remove the excuse politicians have had for years for their failures with crime in this city....and is not going to magically fix it.
This is a problem decades in the making...but definitely sly should have resolved it all in his term.
great point, sly titola. the real victim of crime in kc is slyin james, it’s almost unfathomable what previous mayoral administrations have done to this poor man, bless his heart
the truth is that the percentage increase of violent crime during slyin’s tenure, when graphed out, looks like the biggest hockey stick that you’v ever seen. higher increases than any previous group of mayors combined. too bad for his fellow victims that he had no weapons at his disposal to help fix the trend oh well streetcar baby and airport too. now if we’re being honest the only credit that slyin deserves for those two things is that he ignored the will of his constituents, way to go slyin . but honesty and slyin just don’t mix
