To be fair to the journalist(s), it could be a budgetary issue. It’s a small town, and their 98-year-old mother was living with them.
Was.
The stress of the search killed her.
Meyer also blames the home raid for stressing his 98-year-old mother enough to cause her death on Saturday. Joan Meyer was the newspaper’s co-owner.
Oh… Fun Fact. I’m from KCMO where the Chief served for 24 years. Look up our gun violence rate (maybe you can’t, I tried, and it looks like news agencies just stopped counting due to the frequency - the last one was just on Saturday) and our homicide rate.
And Missouri just voted to mandate that KCMO gives KCPD 25% of our municipal budget… While not even having full control of the force. Nothing like Civil War relics fucking us over in the 21st century.
KCPD has only solved 32 murders this year (as of June 28). As we’re on pace for to make a new record for annual homicides
And, of course, Missouri has some of the loosest gun laws in the nation. And the State bans the city from passing firearm regulation.
So… yeah, 24 years of service to a PD that is known to be corrupt. And misogynistic. And Racist. Very Racist.
That could be from the buzzing.
