Protesters to Call for Kansas City Mayor’s Resignation in a 'Back the Blue' Rally

Several local civil rights groups renew their call for the removal of Kansas City, MO Police Chief Rick Smith, a national organization is coming to Kansas City to call for the removal of Mayor Quinton Lucas.

Protesters plan to call for Lucas’ resignation Wednesday night in a "Back the Blue" rally in Kansas City, Missouri.

The Washington, D.C.-based organization will hold a rally 6 p.m. at the Hodge Park Amphitheater to show their support for KCPD and to push for a recall of Lucas. The group’s push comes from what the organization called recent "defunding efforts made by the city council."

Lucas has been quick to punch back at those defunding remarks — pointing to the fact that the money hasn't been taken from the department but instead it would go into a separate fund controlled by both the board of police commissioners and the city manager that the police would still ultimately spend.

Lucas also accuses people who say this is defunding the police of stoking the flames of division.

On Tuesday, a Jackson County judge issued a stay order on the Kansas City Board of Police Commissioners' lawsuit against Lucas and the city council. Judge Kevin Harrell's order gives the city 14 days to answer the police department's call to block the budget ordinance.

The state-run board of police commissioners is suing Lucas and the city council after two ordinances passed on May 20 shifting $42 million from the police department's budget for community services and crime prevention.

The police board maintains that state law gives it exclusive control over the department, not the city.
