    Doesn’t really matter what that person thinks. If asked, they wouldn’t be able to talk intelligently about what the coalition of leaders, staff and citizens did and accomplished in KC between 2011-2019. Just another C.A.V.E. Person who complains but doesn’t contribute.

    Thank you for your kind thoughts but I believe people can do a lot without being in office if they really want to. The reality is that most people just complain and blame others when they have done little or nothing themselves.

    There are idiots in both parties. Then again, who voted them in and keeps voting them in? will respectfully decline to respond to your first question. I don’t have time to argue with people on Twitter today.

    Listen to my conversation on Streetwise podcast from about how and I started the THE OPPORTUNITY AGENDA and why we believe the real needs of people have not yet been addressed.

    Wrong again. Autopsy report ruled “homicide” with cause of death being”cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual restraint and neck compression...”. You can also review the autopsy report on line if you’d like.

    Really? So the only thing you could point to about why you like Black folks is that they entertain you and you had a Black CO? And you don’t see a problem with that? I sorta know what I’m doing here because me actually being Black for 68 years sorta trumps 😜your “sorta know”.

    You mean this one? Please tell where in this video Floyd presented a threat of “grave bodily harm or death” to the officers that then justifies the use of deadly force. Leaked bodycam video shows new details of George Floyd's arrest via

    I agree and thank you but the discussion about race is one discussion and the discussion about looting etc is another.

    Like I said, with respect sir, you are woefully uninformed. Racism, by definition, CANNOT “come from all sides of the spectrum” . Now is you want to say there is prejudice from all spectrums, I will readily agree w/ u, but the 2 are not the same.

    What 3 cops are you talking about? Who was significantly resisting? The guy who was prone on the pavement with 1 cop’s knee on his neck while he was saying he could not breathe over and over for 8.5 minutes? Have you even watched the entire video?

    There was no booing at announcement of a moment of silence in the "fight for equality." About 10 seconds later, after political slogans like "End Police Brutality" and "Black Lives Matter" were flashed on board and the field was a disorganized mess, there was smattering of boos
