Kansas City struggles with Missouri over police funding

Leaders in largely Democratic Kansas City, Mo., don't control the city's police department, hire the police chief or determine how the department spends its tax dollars. A 1930s-era law gives that power to a five-member board largely appointed by the Missouri governor, who since 2017 has been a Republican. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel)
