Jackson Jambalaya

At minimum, they should be able to recover the gas money for the trip and littering.

Failure to comply is what makes the difference between a Law abiding citizen & criminal.

All these liberal democrats feel(operative word is feel) they have the right to not comply if they feel (there it is again feel) the law is treating them unjustly (going to put my ass in jail).

The Jessie Jackson's & Al Sharptons of this nation has brought us to this point.

Go to any other nation & see how they treat failure to comply.

My gut reaction is “gee what a moron” but my cerebral afterthoughts wonder how dumb this will seem in 50 years when marijuana has long been legalized. Don’t forget people used to shoot tommy guns at each other over kegs of beer.

What's this got to do with the witch?

Since he had weed, will the cops get that new Ram?

By “democrats” you mean black people. Go ahead and say it and admit you are a racist. It’s easier.

Your grammar is terrible so I assume you may have nothing more than a high school education.

You are in essence an uneducated racist and you are a large part of the problem in MS. When Trump says he loves the uneducated he is talking to you.

And if you wish to admire other nations law enforcement tactics then move there.

WHAT IF THIS IDIOT HAD CRASHED INTO YOUR FAMILY?


THAT'S WHY HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SHOT AT UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED.

Hey 10:54, THINK! They were not attempting to pull him over for MJ. He was operating his vehicle illegally and decided not to pull over. At that point, all the officer KNOWS is that something bigger than traffic is going on. Could've been kidnapping, outstanding warrant for murder, possession of neatly anything illegal. To suggest that this was about MJ is revisionist and doesn't involve any critical thinking. From an officer perspective it had nothing to do with MJ until the guy fled. From the dude's perspective, he was knowingly breaking the law. If you love weed that much then man up and take the consequences. If it becomes legal one day, I would almost bet my net worth that this individual would be involved in something else illegal.

I don't much care about the legality of MJ, but I'm sick of the arguments that imply that those embedded in a criminal lifestyle will suddenly be boy scouts upon legalization. That's a stupid supposition. We will just be commenting on the next thing they get arrested for.

10:54, you can drink without getting drunk. You can't smoke marijuana without getting high. Fundamental difference in my mind.

Just wondering if the marijuana causes the aberrant thinking, or if it's aberrant thinking that causes the weed smoking? Chicken and egg?

Hats off to MPD for not mentioning that Corey is African American. Ooops!

Why is it that Jackson's has an apostrophe and Sharptons does not? Hmm?

Also quote: "At that point, all the officer KNOWS is that something bigger than traffic is going on."

Nope. Some people run for no other reason. The officer does not KNOW anything except that the suspect is running, but probably suspects something.

Oh, puhleeeze. "Some people run for no other reason." Sure, just for the fun of it. Harmless and cute. Bad ole Po Po.


Here's how Scalia let the air out of that crap excuse in Scott v Harris:

“Indeed, reading the lower court’s opinion, one gets the impression that respondent, rather than fleeing from police, was attempting to pass his driving test.”

9:56 "Some people run for no other reason..."

You may be correct but that person would be a total idiot to run from the police to avoid a traffic ticket. The officer may not KNOW, but if he assumes that the individual has an actual brain in their head, then it is pretty safe to assume that they have more going on than the traffic violation.

In the rare (if ever) case that it was just a random traffic violation that caused them to run, then they deserve a double dose of reality from the cops for being a complete idiot and burden on society.

Probably the cop looked like the Chief on In The Heat Of The Night and the perp, being AA, had a flash-back to a story his uncle told about being beat with a billy-club over at The Gold Coast sixty years ago. So, hell, he be runnin' for no other reason. Didn't want that club upside his head. The weed wuddin his.

I don't know what impresses my the most: the fact that I-55 was actually being policed or the grammatically-correct report. Both choke me up.

Maybe the officer could have wrote the ticket and went on with life. What was the command that the officer made which spoked him to run? Oh he is from Hattiesburg so he must have Shake Down experience.

The officer pursued the fleeing vehicle with his police vehicle. As the pursuit continued northbound the Madison County Sheriff’s Office was notified and assisted with the pursuit as it entered their jurisdiction. UH... I'M PRETTY SURE ALL OF "MADISON THE CITY" IS IN THE JURISDICTION OF MADISON COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.
