Jackson Jambalaya

I didn't think these thugs got out until after midnight, at least that is when they typically kill each other.

thankfully cop was smart enough to lock the door if door had opened could have ended differently. No one knows whats in those water guns. I have seen people put bleach in them urine all kinds of nasty harmful stuff. If just water thats fine too but lot of expensive computer and radio equipment that would have been damaged too.

Time for JPD to issue vintage 90's Super Soakers to all officers.

The old school models could build up some serious pressure. Eye protection is a must.

Btw the original Super Soaker was patented by an African American entrepreneur.

Does every black male teenager look like a thug to you? It just looks like a group of high schoolers on summer break having a harmless water gun war like kids do everywhere in the summer.

Would you feel just as ngatively about the scene if it was a bunch of shirtless white male teens with shooting waterguns at Flowood PD in their gated neighborhood?

Smh

The JPD and especially this administration has adopted the concept of friendly "community policing" so the boys in the hood will not fear the police as an opposing force. The stuff sounds great and makes for good reading back at Harvard and Cal State whatever, but it don't work in Jackson Mississippi.

FEAR THE POLICE. It will help.

@10:05am Yes, behavior like that is thuggish. If they were white and shirtless acting like this, I'd say they were redneck trash thugs. There you have it.

10:05 Good point. The police car could have been Barnie Fyfe driving down the streets of Mayberry and Opie Taylor and his buddies having a little harmless fun. What's the difference? Jackson...Mayberry? Ha Ha Jeez.

@10:22

You sound like the most miserable party pooper on the planet. I had a neighbor like you once. Called the police on every birthday party and barbeque we ever had. We tried to invite them to the party. We now assume they couldn't stand to be around a diverse and inclusive group of successful people.

It looked to me like they were blocking a police car that had its blue lights on. It also looked like one of them tried to open the passenger door so they could make direct contact with the officer inside. In other words, obstruction of justice and assault on a police officer. Am I missing something? That someone thinks this is acceptable behavior from normal "highschoolers" is alarming, to me.

@9:37, I’m pretty sure the police come out well before midnight. They have shifts so that someone is on patrol 24 hours a day. Also, you really shouldn’t be calling the police thugs. They may not be perfect or even good in a lot of cases, but still try to show a little respect.

this site's rent must be due...he has to post pictures of black people and a cop car so we can get more clicks and more money.....what a sad state of affairs....when this site is gone....it will not be too soon.

If only you could burn calories doing the mental gymnastics people here use to justify racial prejudice. Mississippians might lose their title of the fattest state in the nation.

Yaaawwwnnnnnnn, Snnnnooorrreeee, ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz

"If only you could burn calories doing the mental gymnastics people here use to justify racial prejudice. Mississippians might lose their title of the fattest state in the nation."

So, those of us who think this video demonstrates unacceptable behavior are intellectually disingenuous, racist, and fat. Did I get that right?

I'm amazed at the current technology of squirt guns. Back in my day, you couldn't hold one sideways and make it squirt.

White, black, Jackson, Flowood . . . Doesn't matter. Thuggish behavior gets the label of thugs.

And though it hasn't been mentioned, what about the obvious disdain and disregard for authority demonstrated on the video. Yeah, that's an indicator of thugs.

SIDE NOTE: People who always want to cry racism seem (to me, at least) to be the biggest racists. Every comment that is posted on this cite does not necessarily have to have racial overtones in them just by use of the words thugs, etc. The sooner we all get past race, the better.

I’ve been to Jackson (“Jack-town”) 3 times. First time I was a witness to a murder. Second time I was a witness to a car jacking (almost got run over). Third time I spilled red wine all over me due to the pot/ sink holes throughout town. Complete hell hole. I’ll never go back.

@12:36

ha well as a guy who works in Jackson and lives in Rankin county, I think I can speak for all of us when I say if you were driving down the road drinking red wine......please keep your ass in whatever area you reside in. We have enough problems we don't need any judgment from some pretentious drunk.

12:36 PM - Two years ago, my son and I were at a Jackson restaurant and witnessed an "economically disadvantaged individual" being chased through the restaurant parking lot by the police and arrested. The waitress just looked at us and said, "Welcome to Jackson".

Yall take the cake. Yes, it could be some teens misbehaving and disrespecting a LEO. It just as easily could be an officer who they know and who has done a great job winning the trust of the community, and who knows, maybe he was giving them the business on over his intercom? It could have been one those kids brother or dad.

Of course, the same old blowhards on this board just jump to conclusions and start talking about making it a federal case. Yall really need to get a life.

@12:36
I know that you feel like you have to risk your life to drive into Jackson from whatever dry hick town you live. But do us a favor and please wait until you get home before you pop open the box wine and start guzzling it, you degenerate lush.

12:36, Jackson has enough problems dealing with just the true criticisms. The only thing in your post remotely true is the comment about your stupid drunk ass driving around with a bottle of wine in your lap, which you clearly are also doing now given the idiocy of your post.

Shouldn't they be playing midnight basketball, or tagging businesses, or something else constructive?

I'm appalled.

Jim Hood should investigate this blog for spreading hate speech.

How disgusting. They should all be arrested and put to work picking up trash on the sides of the roads. I don't care what color they are. They are acting like animals. Their behavior is disgusting and it shouldn't be tolerated.

I’m convinced this state is worthless. It’s either white nationalists or poor people. Shame.

I'm a fat white guy from Madison who thinks the teens are having fun. Looks like the police officer was having fun too. I didn't hear any cussing in the video. Looks innocent to me.

Um, no one has pointed out that groups of people, of whatever age or color, don't stand around on both sides of streets with filled water guns on the minuscule chance that a police car will happen to pass by at a slow speed and that the cop in the car will do nothing. I don't know what this is about, but I don't think JPD officers are in danger from it or similar water-gunnery.

Attempting to unlock the police cruiser isn't having fun. Also, notice the cop car speed off! Indicates they weren't comfortable with the situation. Fat man from Madison your obviously fine with surrounding of a police vehicle.
