MothNot a surprising situation at all in MO given our laws. This young man was shot THROUGH the front door glass. I don’t see how or why the shooter was allowed to go free. Scratch that, I KNOW why he was.

So, if you're not aware, #KC does not have local control of its own police department. #KCPD is controlled, not by the mayor or the city council or anyone elected by the people who actually live here, but by a board of commissioners who are appointed by the governor of Missouri, who lives in Jefferson City, 160 miles away.
