Madison is so dangerous now

Great work as usual, MPD! Also, super-pumped you didn't get any rocks thrown at you upon crossing County Line.

Stokes et al haven't opposed chases for these types of crimes. They have always said they didn't have a problem with chases for violent crimes. They question the use of them for misdemeanors such as shoplifting.

It’s just so sad to me to watch Madison continue to decline. When will it reach rock bottom? With the opening of Costco?

Crime is everywhere. But y'all know this....

I just have to believe I could find and hire somebody to work the counter with a less volatile domestic ambiance that doesn't intrude upon the workplace.

Betcha for the UCR this will be re-categorized as non-violent. The reporting to the Feds from Madison (the city) is a joke, but I suppose the Chief and doll collector will do anything to maintain the "Mayberry" illusion. You can't be that close to Jackfranistan and not have significant criminal spillover.

There is something missing here. Were these thugs in Madison to rob the store or did they have a beef with the clerk?

What's savage is no bond for assault. Judge doesn't want to get out of his slippers on a holiday. Love it.

I can't imagine any of the rock throwers will wait first to ascertain if the chase is based on a violent or non-violent crime. An elected leader advocating vigilantism on any level is appalling and there is no defense for it.

Take a gander at the mugs and tell me these two live in Madison. Of course they don't. They were captured in the hood near where they stay. That would be in Jacktown.

There was also a whuppin' perpetrated upon a female employee of a pizza place in Gluckstadt or Madison about two months ago. Another domestic situation where the perps show up at a place of business and lay down a whuppin' on a woman. They ain't from round here naturally.

KF, thank you for clarifying what Stokes said about police chases. The truth can be so inconvenient for some people.

Tell me this Kingfish or Trion, when a citizen of Jackson sees a police car from another city chasing a car in Jackson, how do they know what crime the person committed? How do they know if they should throw rocks, bottles, and bricks?

This gas station and food facility is the nastiest business north of Jackson. the heath department should shut it down!

We need a moat around Madison to keep the Jacksonians out.

7:07....isn't 95% of Madison populated by former Jacksonians?

All that growth did not come from people migrating from out of state. Be more specific.

Madison is lost. Sell your stucco cookie cutter house now and leave while you can! Can’t even enjoy a meal at Applebee’s without worrying about these thugs!

So glad I live in a gated subdivision in Madison.

The crime is moving north into Ridgeland and Madison. Difficult to prevent. It’s already here.

You know what he meant.

5:37: true.

Gluckstadt has crime largely due to bordering Canton.

A resident of Jackson is not going to simply throw anything at police cars from the suburbs simply because Kenny Stokes said so.

They caught the airheads without incident. Move on to the next thing.

I heard the subways in New York were especially dangerous in the 80's and 90's. The chickens have finally come home to roost.

Jealousy is an ugly trait to have!

If a speeding police car or a speeding criminal's car hit my car in a high speed chase, I really don't give a crap if the crime is a felony or not. I'm going to be highly pissed.

10:33, if a criminal steals your car are you as willing to see the cops let him go?
If you would donate your car to a thug then you will not feel the need to be pissed.

537 - it's a relatively new technology. Called radios. The popo can actually talk with other popo whIle chasing someone.
