Thomas Wasmer IV, 39-years-old was a pedestrian victim of a hit-and-run case in Kansas City this month. Unfortunately, not only did the Police not investigate this incident, they didn’t even make a police report. What did Thomas Wasmer have going against him that resulted in this inhumane treatment? Thomas Wasmer was homeless. Paramedics arrived on the scene of the“hit-and-run” and took Wasmer to a hospital. Wasmer had multiple injuries and spent six days in the hospital before insisting that he be released so he could attend church and smoke a cigarette.
Wasmer attended church every Sunday. After the service church members helped pain-stricken Wasmer return to the hospital where he underwent surgery. Thomas Wasmer died several days later with fellow church members by his bedside. The Rev. Stan Runnels of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church sent an e-mail to church members to inform them of Wasmer’s death. A KC Star reporter who saw the e-mail made an inquiry with the police department to find out how the investigation was going. It was at that point the reporter discovered that no report had even been filed. Wasmer was an alcoholic and insisted on being homeless but he was loved and accepted at his church and regularly worked around the church grounds
The KC Police have not explained why a criminal report was not filled out and pursued.
