KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) The Kansas City police department has unveiled several new policies designed to improve community relationships after months of complaints arising from confrontations during last summer s racial injustice protests but some community activists immediately rejected the changes as insufficient and demanded stronger action.
The department s First Amendment policy emphasizes that officers should protect citizens rights to gather and protest. It lays out the chain of command for determining how officers should respond to the gatherings, and encourages efforts to communicate with organizers of the demonstrations.
