Voters approved a statewide measure requiring Kansas City to spend at least 25 percent of its general revenue on police. It’s the only city in the state with no control over how it’s policed.
Fuckin’ statewide vote for an issue that only affects one city…
And it’s not 25% of the city’s budget. It was a 25% increase in the police budget, bringing it to 38% of the city’s budget. Just enough that KC had to scrap plans for free bus fares.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the bus thing was the real goal all along
Fuck it. Hire bus drivers as police and have them drive buses.
