Jackson Jambalaya

Always support your law enforcement until they are proven to be a "rotten apple". There are several investigations and questions they must face anytime they fire their gun. Trust the system to protect you until the system is proved wrong or involved in a cover up. You will see vigilantes appear as law enforcement is reduced or made impotent. You will see an increase in crime. Measures to tie the hands of law enforcement will not stop crime. You who are doing this are tearing at the fabric of what makes a strong community.

"By their fruits you will know them. . . . the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."

I am no COP lover but I assure you that without them doing what they do, life would not be lived as it is today. People do not like cops because of petty traffic and minor drug laws. If those two laws were changed, normal peoples attitude would follow.

I do not love my dog either but he will go apeshit if he sees or hears anything out of the ordinary. Lets me sleep easy.

The head of the city of Jackson does hate cops and wants chaos.

How does Minko still have a job? Unbelievable.

This is the very reason I LOVE the Lehigh Defense Extreme Penetrator bullets. Hide behind that door all you like Mr Criminal. It will go through it and you like warm butter. Kind of wonder why the officer didn't go for his riot gun. That 12 gauge would have ended that crap tout suite! Thank goodness the officer survived!

I sure hope that Adofo Minko and Pastor Dwayne Pickett were bright orange name tags identifying themselves. That way if they ever need a policeman to defend either of them then the policeman can say "Sorry, you don't think it's appropriate for police to shoot a scum bag that is trying to tale take the life of another." Minko, Pickett and their minions do not deserve the protection of the brave Men in Blue.

The mayor won't even stand up for his police force. Mayor Clackway Lubamba is disgraceful.

......." People do not like cops because of petty traffic and minor drug laws.".....

Yeah you're right. Those pesky stop signs and red traffic lights only cause delays when going somewhere.
AND, if you don't want to be charged with a minor drug offense, well, let me see how to say this....uhhh
DON'T FOOL WITH DRUGS!!
It has worked well for a number of law abiding citizens.

For Warm Butter @ 3:29 - Are you blind? Watch the video again and tell us how that police officer could have possibly gotten inside his car to retrieve his shotgun and what the hell difference a shotgun would have made.

Typically they are in the TRUNK on a rack that opens by REMOVE. If I have to tell you the advantages of a shotgun with literally TONS of muzzle energy, a long form and multi projectiles over a standard Glock service gun held at arms length you're too stupid to understand. The only thing that beats a 12 gauge other than an airstrike in a 100 foot tactical situation is a 10 gauge.I have personal knowledge they worked rather well in adverse social situations in Ramadi and Fallujah.

Thankfully, the officer lived to see his loved ones at the end of his shift. That's all that matters!

1:57, if I were your dog and read this I would pack my dog bowl and leave....that is if you feed him, which if you don’t like him as you say you more than likely dont feed him. You’re the type of person who people like us usually avoid because of your attitude. Go take your meds....or cut down on them but whatever at least the dog is better than you.

Mayor brain-dead would prefer that the JPD cops "take one for the team."

Because of the great abuses and terrorism of the past, the Black community still holds a general distrust of law enforcement and local political authority. However, the mayor and Black elected officials have made a concerted effort to let the public know that THEY now hold political authority and people should trust them. They do not seem to think it is worth their while to remind these same people that the police are now part of THEIR community and they should be extended some measure of trust too. Instead they play to the fears and apprehension so they can appear sympathetic and a part of the victim community when in fact they are part of the system. They don't mind throwing the police under the bus, especially when they are driving the bus.

Very glad he survived. As for the shotgun, how did the second guy respond to shots fired on officer without bringing more than his service pistol?

That officer is a hero in my book. He fought for his life and survived.

Tbh when video starts I felt a kick in the gut because I thought to myself “tubby turbo is forked” but man 3 seconds in my guy is cool as a cucumber. Focused son, eyes and bead on the ball. That cover fire he kept was mean and hot I’m sure to receive. Good old fashioned police work there. Too bad his society is so crumbled he should have been catting all the single ladies with a hero status. Instead they hate him for his service. Oh well God bless you sir glad your alive go find an area that will appreciate you, support you.

No doubt, officer should have surrendered his weapon and said, ok guys can we work this out? This looks as innocent as the Forest Hill bank performance.

God bless that police officer. He's a genuine hero. Too bad his own 'community' would rather he die than some some drug dealer..

If you served in Iraq, thank you, but you are being a little obtuse. Marines used shotguns as secondary weapons and, then, it's primary purpose was breaching, in Fallujah.

While there are some cool stories of a few Marines utilizing their shotguns in CQB, it was due to loss of use of their primaries or because trying to engage with a SAW inside a small room didn't work.

This cop did exactly what he was supposed to do. I once asked a cop that was in a very similar situation as this one. Why did you shoot him 10 times? He said "because I ran out of bullets".

I wish all members of the law enforcement community could strike for three days. The AHoles in this country would learn just how important these men and women truly are. Are there s few “bad” ones? Yes. But, overwhelmingly, they are good men and women. I am so tired of cop bashing especially from big, mouthed fools.

Mob Rule Leftist Totalitarians hate law and order.

Thankfully the officer survived and thankfully he is black or this “most radical city” in America “want to be” would be howling racism.

All white officers in majority black cities should quit.

1:57.. How the HELL can someone not love a dog? Mankind would be far worse without dogs to love and love them!

Mark Twain: " Never trust a man that does not like dogs. However, you can always trust a dog that does not like a man"

Mark Twain: "The only flaw in a dog is they seldom outlive their owners"

Folks, This what Democrats are about. Don't be fooled by any of them.

What is a Cop Supposed to Do?

If you are currently a member of JPD the answer is simple. Find another job. There are plenty of openings in other more supportive jurisdictions at a higher rate of pay.

7:58....Black people do not distrust the police now because of their prior experiences with abuse. As with slavery, no blacks (in the crime-committing age group) were alive during the days of which you speak. Blacks have been part of Mississippi Police Departments now for decades.

Black people who are committing crimes or who are part of the 'hate on cops' community are only playing out what they've been taught or told. It's common for this group to blame their personal situations on others and the cops are just part of 'others'....and a convenient 'target' for their blame.

You speak of 'the black community' as if it's a single group of common thought and mindset, huddled together in one large 'group think' room. That's no more true than to assume the same of some sort of 'white community'.

This would be a good time for one of those out of state recruiting teams (like Dallas) to do interviews here. Likely have a really strong turnout.

I don't see an issue with thoroughly investigating every government killing. Cops have gotten a free pass for far too long. The saying goes one bad apple can spoil the bunch and that seems to be the case in most departments. When is the last time you heard of a cop reporting one of their own. More often than not it's a department wide coverup when one of them is accused of anything including very serious crimes that would make organized crime families blush. Respect goes both ways and that type of corruption has led to the current climate. Cops have no one to blame but themselves for not policing their own.

Cops are awesome and I appreciate them so much. 99% are great and yes they make mistakes but who among us wouldn't when having to deal with spaced out gangsters all day walking into building not knowing if you will walk out.

These issues are not unique to Jackson.

Adofo Minka and his imported goons are very unique to Jackson.

12:20 - You've watched too many Eastwood movies. This is not to say ALL of your thought process is inaccurate. But when you type shit like that, while having zero experience with the subject, you come off as a loon, if not a parrot....both strange birds.

Ask Donna Ladd. She called for their names to be releases so they could be publicly shamed for doing what anyone else would do in the same situation.

I think JPD should just put blinders on and pull back on all crime except murders, just like the Baltimore cops did after the Freddie Gray debacle, and let the thugs run the streets. Maybe once the shootings and killings skyrockets as it did in Baltimore we might see some sanity in the demands from these so-called community leaders.

That backup officer should be the one on administrative duty.
