It’s real, alright. Too bad the truth doesn’t seem to factor much for the folks over at One Struggle KC and MORE2: Metro Organization for Racial and Economic Equity, whatever that title is supposed to mean. This dog is of the school of thought that if you want economic equity, maybe you should go out and get a job, but that’s an argument for another day. We’ve charged before in this column that maybe Kansas City’s black community should police itself first, instead of pointing the finger at everyone and everything else as an excuse for violent crime in their respective communities.

Note to One Struggle KC, maybe if these criminals you advance as loving, caring misunderstood children hadn’t threatened police officers with weapons and were compliant to officers during the detainment procedure, they’d be alive and among us today.

Even the Kansas City Star got in on the act this past Sunday with yet another hit piece, this time against law enforcement noting that a number of the dead criminal’s guns weren’t loaded when police eliminated the suspect as a threat. How incredibly ridiculous is that? Like any police officer in that situation is going to stop and ask, “oh hey, is that thing loaded?” My father had a saying, there’s nothing as frightening as aggressive stupidity and the Star’s assertion that officers should have inquired whether or not the perp’s weapon was loaded is just that, aggressive stupidity.

This news-dog doesn’t expect those truth-bombs to resonate much, especially given this whole Black Lives Matter movement is predicated on the lie that the “gentle giant” Michael Brown actually surrendered peacefully.

Maybe if the folks over at One Struggle KC and the MORE2 put as much time into actually improving your communities at large as they do paintin’ signs and cryin’ foul, violent crime in the urban core wouldn’t be what it is. Once again, this news-writing pooch doesn’t expect that to get much traction, either, given it doesn’t fit the liberal media narrative. But then again, the truth rarely does.
