A coalition of faith leaders and community activists on Monday renewed their call for federal investigators to examine the practices of the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department.
Members of MORE2, the Metro Organization for Racial and Economic Equity, gathered outside the Robert J. Dole Federal Courthouse and said they plan to file an addendum to a request made about 90 days ago seeking the U.S. Department of Justice to review the police department’s patterns and practices.
“We are demanding justice for the people of Wyandotte County and justice for the people of Kansas City, Kansas,” said David Grummon, chair of the group’s Kansas Criminal Justice Task Force. “Justice can’t wait.”
