Headline: Kansas City Star,
Council members Kurt Knappen and Jacklynn Walters emailed Sunderman in June with their concerns, noting posts on the Shawnee Police Department social media pages that invited festival-goers to visit officers at their booth. Knappen called the posts, which showed pictures of officers smiling in front of a booth with LGBTQ pride flags and one where they were posing with children, “a bit of a head scratcher” and “potentially divisive content.” Walters asked who allowed the posts, after saying she heard concerns from constituents and told Sunderman the city needs “to stay out of the culture war on this.”
Apparently, Kurt and Jacklynn snoozed during the Human Resources presentation during the city council orientation.

And then there's this from Jacklynn.
“The activity that is taking place across the country at other Pride events is extremely vulgar,” she wrote. “I know we are not in LA, but I know some have reported similar activity was on display downtown this weekend. … I know that is not pictured, but a picture endorses the activity taking place there. The optics are bad.”
Bad optics? Take a look in the mirror, Jacklynn!
