Another Out Of Control Cop Story, But This Cop May Have Messed With The Wrong Kid

58. My only experience has been with KC police and some of the smaller

town police around here. They are all nice. I live North of the River in KC and we have very little crime here.

One big reason is that Platte and Clay counties don't have probation. Platte County has no probation at all. The result is that the criminal types stay away. They know they will do time.

Jackson county allows probation to even some really hardened criminals. The result is that the criminal types stay south of the river where they can get busted and then just get back out on the streets. There is a part of town in the east that can get very violent. The rest of us just don't go there. It's too dangerous. And every other car is a police car.

Kansas City had about 100 homicides last year. It's down this year. All of our violent crime is way down.
