KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Detectives responded to a deadly shooting at an apartment complex near East 82nd Street and Troost Avenue Tuesday morning. When officers arrived, they found the body of a woman on the pavement near the entry. It was the 112th homicide the department investigated this year.

While it may seem like the city is plagued with shootings, and other crimes, the Kansas City Police Department said that if you look at the statistics, it’s actually safer than a year ago when it comes to gun violence. In fact, Kansas City’s homicide rate has dropped 24% over the past year, a trend that is not happening in other cities, according to police.

At this point in 2020, there had already been 147 homicides, 35 more than what the department is investigating in 2021.

“So far this year, across the country homicides are up another 12% above the 30% increase of last year,” Capt. Justin Cobalt, Kansas City Police Dept., said. “Here in Kansas City, … we’re down almost 25% this year compared to last year.”

The number of homicides aren’t the only crimes that are declining in Kansas City. The police department said the number of people injured in shootings this year has also declined.

So far in 2021, officers have responded to 387 shootings where the victim was injured, but was expected to survive. That’s compared to 485 people injured in shootings during the first 9 months of 2020, a difference of 98 people.

The police department told the Board of Police Commissioners Tuesday morning that it can’t credit just one thing for the drop in gun violence. Instead, the department said it’s because of a number of things underway in hopes of making Kansas City safer.

“I think the collaboration that we’re, we’re working with our federal partners, with the city, with the social services providers, has got to make a difference,” Deputy Chief Joseph Mabin, Kansas City, Mo. Police Dept., said. “We have to review every week where we go in depth on each shooting and homicide that occurred in the previous weekend and have actual steps to follow up on for the following week.”

But, the department did say that its gang unit and their risk for retaliation messaging is making a big impact.

“It is a message that we typically will give to the family and friends of a victim following a violent act that has occurred,” Sergeant Anita Harris, KCPD, said. “We’re going to ask them not to retaliate or take matters into their own hands. We typically ask them to cooperate with the investigation. And we try to offer them resources and services to get through a very difficult time that has occurred in their life.”

And one of the things addressed in the article that i mentioned in another one of yall little disaster-bation threads was that alot of these shootings happen in strings. Meaning 1 person get shot, then multiple other back and forth shootings happens, sometimes all in 1 night or weekend.

And I remember a few years ago the Police Chief at the time, Darrell Forte talked something to the effect of "there's only so much we (the police) can do, we can't stop the violent crime that happens inside people's homes".

And yes, it's still not how it was around here in the 90s. Yall talkin about 2 year increase after a 40 year consistent decrease.

But hey what do i know about my own city. Some of yall seem to know more it from hundreds of miles away.

You ignoring the fact that 2020 was worst than any year for them in the cities history, which is the point of this thread

What’s the difference? Blocks and gangs are the same shyt especially since gangs don’t even follow their scriptures

I'm going by when I was up there. It was all about who you knew and etc. The way its coming across nowadays like Philly on some set tripping shyt.

you brought up kansas city just speaking out of your ass. And again, you ignoring the fact violent crime decrease for multiple decades. Yall reacting to a one year spike.

Murder Rose by Almost 30% in 2020. It’s Rising at a Slower Rate in 2021.

Overall crime fell
Even with the rise in murders and a roughly 5 percent increase in violent crime, the new data shows that overall major crimes fell about 4 to 5 percent in 2020.

Murder, although it carries the highest societal cost, makes up a tiny portion of major crimes as defined by the F.B.I..

Some of the reduction in overall crime was clearly related to the pandemic. Theft made up around seven in 10 property crimes, and it’s hard to commit shoplifting when stores are closed. But overall crime was dropping long before the pandemic: 2020 was the 18th straight year of declining overall crime.

I moved from Philly close to 6 years ago, but since I left more and more people I know been murdered.

It's a clout game. Young nikkas with easy access to guns doing shyt for social media, and to put in their music, and no opportunities to make a decent living.

I'm glad I escaped that shyt. Graduated at the start of the recession and was making 8 dollars an hour. I might've been on that type time if I was in the same situation now.

Same here. Not only I graduated in 08 in the eve of the Recession, but lost my job to the shyt at the same time. I was making 12 dollars a hour but it all came to a end when the store I was working at closed down. After a while I noticed the changes to the city from youngins taking over the block, businesses shutting down, jobs running dry, and murders starting to rise. Once I left in 09 for good, it just became a domino effect with my step cousin getting killed, folks dying, and places I knew just turning into ghost towns.

There are times where I miss the place, but after a while I realize why I left in the first place...to avoid being another statistic

Philly can’t be big enough to justify that. My Goodness ​

I am not with mass incarceration but i remember back in 02' when mayor street had the streets on lock! Cops were literally on beach chairs just chilling on corners.....shyt was crazy but that year there were only like 288 murders and this was Philly's peak in everything music, fashion, sports etc. city was litty and yet not many murders.

 

[Louisville Slugz]

Two people were gunned down, including a 15-year-old boy, on Thanksgiving morning in Louisville.

The city of 600,000 residents saw its 174th and 175th homicides of the year in a span of six hours, breaking the all-time record of 173 set in 2020, according to Louisville Police Department crime statistics

Louisville eclipsed its deadliest year in the same week that Milwaukee, Wisconsin, (183 homicides) and Columbus, Ohio, (178 homicides), surpassed annual records.


Homicide record broken in Louisville with 2 slayings, including a teenager killed on Thanksgiving Day

Waste of money. Instead take all those people to therapy and teach them how to raise kids

If black people was in charge of that money, the problem would be halfway fixed. The problem is the white people thats in the background of these programs..

If W.S is supposed to be our problem, why are white people involved in critical programs created to fix it?

 

[I Really Mean It]

fukking monsters. I almost feel like the National Guard needs to be sent into these cities experiencing high levels of crime.

Put the city on curfew. Sweep the streets of anyone breaking it. Go door to door and detain anyone unlawfully possessing a firearm.

What other solutions are there?

Was pointing out these grim stats to @KingofthePenguins & @Dorian Breh in another thread. Told them that multiple cities were nearing crack era levels of homicides. It didn't fit the arguments they were making, so they ignored the facts.

 

[Consigliere]

This is news to me. I thought it was all blocks and etc. Not legit gangs

Things are changing. Only so long Philly, DC & Baltimore could hold out. Especially with New Jersey and NYC so heavily active.
