"The ordinance adopted by the Kansas City Council requires the department to report at least twice a year the number of arrests, the location and the race of those arrested. Blake said she believes that requirement led to her daughter and friend being cited because they would make the numbers not look so discriminatory.

KCTV5 asked the police department to define the portion of the ordinances defining "returning" and "entertainment," but did not get a response. The ordinance says the curfew does not apply if the teen is returning home from a school activity, entertainment, recreational activity or dance."

The don't really seem to be targeting white kids in Zona Rosa, and shouldn't 15 year olds be sneaking into R rated movies instead of Disney movies

1. If the community does not apply curfew ordinance for children returning home from

entertainment, why cite them for this and not noise disturbance per their fire cracker story? Very strange...

2. I am not sure whom to believe;

BUT the mom's quote "Blake said it was "chaotic, a zoo,"" gives me a pretty good idea of which side she falls on.

3. Wait....what?????...

.."Blake said it was "chaotic, a zoo," and she had trouble finding her daughter"...

..""I didn't see any disturbance outside when I was driving around. She (her daughter) was not aware of one inside," Blake said. "...


so which was it?

4. 9 pm curfew for under 16s. next time tell your kids to wait in the movie lobby.
