Kansas City's Democratic mayor has passed the buck to police
about his city's collapse into Mad Max-style lawlessness,
with gangs of thugs and bikers scaring locals to stay in
their homes after dark.
Speaking with the Daily Mail, Quinton Lucas slammed the
'reckless and foolish' street-racing gangs that terrify
locals, but rejected claims that he's personally responsible
for the collapse of law and order in his city.
Residents and business owners accuse Lucas of soft-on-crime
policies and failing to prosecute lawbreakers since the
George Floyd race riots of 2020, and of ignoring their
repeated pleas for public safety.
Despite these widespread concerns, Lucas said the problem
was under control, that Kansas City could 'handle this moment'
and that a police recruitment drive would get more officers
on the streets in the coming months.
He spoke as his terrified residents complain that downtown
Kansas City has become a hotspot for illegal street racing,
reckless ATV and dirt bike riders tearing through the
neighborhoods.
. . .
The little thugs have TAKEN OVER. The Mayor won't
touch them - defunding/disempowering the cops. Now
it's suddenly someone ELSE'S fault ........
But hey ... city residents kept VOTING for this
bullshit. The bill comes due. If YOU cause it
then you CAN'T BITCH.
