TLDR: Kansas City has a weird setup where the police department is paid for by the city but reports to a committee that's mostly appointed by the state governor. A statewide ballot initiative passed that requires Kansas City to spend a certain % of their yearly budget on police, even though both the city mayor and the residence don't want to spend that.
