Police shoot and kill 2 on barney allis plaza. edit. No active shooter
 

Breaking

And in another incident in the Northland, police shot and killed a sword wielding woman after a stand off

Damn busy day

i have some extra ammo should they need it....

I’m in Olathe, I promise. 70 and sunny here.

Stupid bitch, bring a sword to a gunfight.

KC is a violent shithole

Probably the most I have ever agreed with a Billay post.

Glad I moved further away from the metro.

My favorite place to skate growing up. We tore those handrails up back in the day.

Police brutality! How dare they kill active shooters?!

Violent crime in Kansas City is definitely not trending in the right direction. Which is odd, being that violent crime around the USA has a whole has been declining since the 80s. Not a good sign.

Still doesn't hold a candle to St Louis

Which shooters were active?

Apparently the police

Huh, I work right across the street from that place. I wondered what all the cops and firetrucks were doing down there when I left at 5. Now I know.

Shouldn't bring a knife to a gun fight.

Even a really big knife. :D

The most dangerous/violent cities in the US.

2. St. Louis, Missouri

The violent crime rate in St. Louis is 1,913 per 100,000 people.

In 2016, 188 people were murdered in that city.

6. Kansas City, Missouri

In Kansas City, Missouri, the violent crime rate is 1,655 per 100,000 people.

In 2016, 129 people were murdered in that city.

13. Springfield, Missouri

The violent crime rate in Springfield, Missouri, is 1,337 per 100,000 residents.

Eight people were murdered in the city in 2016.

Any list that has Chicago 24th can't be right. 760 PLUS murders...

If you looked at all of it it mentions that but the other crimes that are also violent, rape, etc are lower so the total violent crime ranks them 24th.

I did and don't care. Lol.

I can't verify this, only relate what I was told. But years ago, the firm I worked for shared space with an insurance agency. One of the agents was a former coroner, and would on occasion be called in by Chicago if the number of bodies they had overwhelmed the staff. He told me that the official number of deaths, be they homicides or otherwise, was greatly under reported, and that if people knew the actual murder rate, it would scare the shit out of them.

Again, I can't corroborate this. Haven't seen the guy in the 25 years and don't even remember his last name. But considering how ****ed up Chicago is, I've never had any trouble believing it.

Forget just the homicides, someone gets shot in Chicago every 3hr 20min so far in 3018. Having been to Cook County hospital numerous times, there’s usually a waiting line of non-life threatening gun shot wounds, looking pitiful AF. FWIW it was every 2+ hours the previous couple years.

The ones that aren't anymore

Am I a 1000 years behind?

Ha. Oops. I mixed up my police shootings, Earth’s age threads.

It's based on per capita and violent crimes overall not just murders.

Even with the murders, KC had 149 last year with a 500k population. Chicago had 650 with a 2.7million population. Chicago has a better ratio.

Still no SB title.

That link said it was 765 in the year compared.

Thats dead. Not hurt. Dead.

That's too bad. I've always said if I relocated back to KC, I'd live cool-like, downtown.

Is that not an option anymore?

Must be old numbers. Chicago had 770 in 2016 but it's gone down to 650 last year and theyre on pace for 400-500 this year.

Compared to the amount of people, maybe not. Clearly a city with a much larger population than Kansas City is going to have more murders. How many murders out of 10,000 or 100,000 people sample is all that really matters.

The murder count for KC this year while not great is at least looking better than last year, when we almost broke the city record for most murders in a year. I think 1993 still has the KC record. You think people would have been chill that year, we had just gotten Joe Montana and Marcus Allen.

Quite honestly, 90% of all murders are gang or drug related. If you don't do either, you aren't really unsafe anywhere you go. The remaining 10% are murders of lust.

I feel like I'm in good shape. Ain't nobody going to be murdering me over my Bang Energy Drink & Swedish Fish habit.

Yet it was still half the murder rate of Washington DC from that era

KC has had crime but I don't think we've ever been murder capital

Some other cities are insane

Eh while yes, the gangbangers aren't necessarily taking marksmanship classes so just being around seems to be good enough.

Some guy from the future said the CHIEFS moved out of Kansas City in 2069 and that an astroid destroyed the Truman Sports Complex shortly there after. No one died or was injured.

Are the perps still killed?

Must be running out of people left to do the shooting...

Maybe the community organizer finally got through to some people? ROFL

Hardly. It was a cold spring. It's really that simple. I don't know if they tend to stay inside when it's cold, or if high temperatures/no air conditioning make them snap and start shooting, or some combination thereof, but when it's hot in Chicago, the streets run red with blood.

Supposed to be humid and in the 90s this weekend, so look for the hoodrats to be blasting the **** out of each other, along with the odd innocent bystander honor student. One of them got greased last night, too - some poor little girl who didn't even live here. She was visiting her father for the summer. :shake:

That is just awful to read.

But the Left doesn't give a crap about those victims. But they petition for illegals and criminals. Despicable.

^ they have people that love them too. They just need mentoring, any volunteers?

It's also Puerto Rican Fest in Chicago this weekend. This year featuring even more Puerto Ricans, plus triple digit heat indexes!

Can they not taze that person? Or shoot them with the 10 gauge bean bags?

So what you're saying is that Chicago's gonna party like it's Damascus this weekend?

The remaining residents are better learning how to serpentine.

This is the second thread in two days on a third local shooting in the area. So forgive me in advance or don't. But where are all of the Gun Ban Club members to condemn gun violence? Too bad that school's out. Guess they'll have to wait until August or September to get back on their soapbox. But it just shows that Chris Rock was right, and they only care when it fits nicely into their narrative, but not when it takes a daily toll in the part of town where they have the vote secured

It will be responsible celebrating. These are mature grown up adults after all.

In the heat, and with roughly half just moving here from an island that's a territory making it pretty much a foreign land after their home was destroyed by a natural disaster, and the leader on the mainland handled their issues half as well as Katrina was? I watched the second to last episode of Seinfeld. You can't fool me

I always forget that.

Couldn't tell ya . I wasn't there

Any autopsy results yet?

Cause of death was lead poisoning

Did you know if you have your gun holstered it's essentially impossible for you to draw and shoot a knife wielding person before getting stabbed if they're closer than 21 feet?

Kinda crazy. 21 feet away and a knife has an advantage over a holstered gun.

Yanno who's aware of this fact? Police.

Wait, what? Are we talking padlocked holsters here?

Seems like one should be able to unsnap and draw in a matter of 1-2 seconds. No one can run that fast.

I've heard this before too, and witnessed a demonstration on it. I thought that it was twenty feet

It's not as far as you think. If your arms are 3 feet long, you have to cover 18 feet. 6 foot strides, thats 3 steps. If it takes a step to determine that you're going to pull your gun I could see it.

I can draw from concealment and accurately fire an aimed shot in one second. I know because I've been timed doing it. And if some asshole is charging at me with a knife, I won't stop at one shot.

To be fair, I'm sure I'm far more skilled with a gun than most cops, and shoot far more often.

Yeah, I might get stabbed. But the other guy's going to have several expanded hollow point rounds in his chest. I like my survival odds better than his.

How quickly can the average man make eight steps? Not to mention if they have assistance from any number of substances. They're also not likely to stab once or twice. How easy is it to hold and fire a weapon while being stabbed repeatedly in the arm that's holding a firearm?

How many stabs do you think he'll get off with a shredded chunk of goo where his heart used to be?

Depends on how much meth they did

Again, I like my chances.

There's a reason why cops carry guns instead of knives.

And the same reason why they shoot when people don't listen after being asked to show their hands or to get on the ground and such

Oh, I agree with that. Our law enforcement officers have been backed into a dangerous and ridiculous corner because of politics.

Why not run away from the knife while getting out your gun and turn around and shoot them. That’s how did it in the Army Iraq. Seemed very effective. Then again we weren’t into getting stabbed by terrorist. We would rather shoot them.
