Apology

 Peleahatchie police officer Kendrell Canada and Mayor Ryshonda Beechem engaged in a screaming match Monday night at the regular Board of Aldermen meeting.  The Mayor's husband posted the exchange on Youtube.  However, Officer Canada stepped up to the plate and apologized today:


 

Unfortunately, the Mayor made no such apology even though she posted his apology on her Facebook page. 

Earlier post with video of incident.

Has the mayor apologized?

The other guy apologized, which means that I was right and I won (to a childish and screwed-up mind).

Bless her heart. I guess she published the only apology important to her. Doesn't surprise me at all.

He needs to find a new line of work. Officers with guns and uncontrollable anger are a really bad mix.

Her actions in every aspect of this situation show she is a terrible leader. You can be intelligent and educated and STILL not be leadership material. She is just not leadership material.

The fact that she continued to shriek over everyone else that spoke that night shows she’s the problem... not this officer. According to her and her husband, any human on Earth who speaks against her does so because she’s the first black and female mayor of Pelahatchie... (insert multiple eye rolls.)

I commend him for apologizing. I would not have apologized. She’s been stirring shit with the police department for years. SHE caused this outburst and she takes ZERO responsibility.

Everything I’ve read about this officer states he’s an upstanding guy. I’m sure his job with HCSO will be saved by this apology. I’m sure he has bills to pay and family to take care of. It’s too bad he’s taking the blame for her bad leadership.

Kudos to Daughtry for getting out. It’s just not worth it! Especially when she’s so hell-bent on turning it over to RCSO.

He got suspended by her. No he kissing up to get his job back.

I do not live it town, but outside town. I have had minor dealings with this young man and found him to be courteous and helpful. Proud we have this kind of young man serving our community. I have seen this young officer go out of his way to be helpful and do a good job as a public servant. He probably needed to apologize after this incident and he has done so. I bet we don't see an apology from the mayor, she isn't the type to apologize, just post someone else's apology to her FB page.

@6:17p- You are the epitome of someone with HORRIFIC comprehension skills.

SHE did NOTHING. It’s not her job or right to discipline him... that power lies with the Board. THE BOARD suspended him for 3 days without pay. He’s part-time... that’s basically a friendly compromise from the Board. The board also requested both the officer and mayor apologize to each other. The officer complied. Señorita Chaos has not.

People who speak out in support of her NEVER comprehend the reality of anything that happens in that town.

I thought the mayor posting his apology on FB was tacky and not the actions of a true leader. A total lack of class and humility on her part. I guess that explains why Pelahatchie has been through countless employees during her time in office. Does anyone know how many employees that have either quit or been fired by the mayor during her tenure?

Why was he suspended for three days?

Now I've had the time of my life said...

Maybe he got a 3 day all inclusive vacay at the Gold Coast Lagoon spa and resort? Spooner for sheriff, Canada for Mayor!

Anonymous said...

@8:22p- Because the mayor, after her posse got the Hinds SO to start an “investigation,” put a disciplinary action on the Town’s agenda. The Board holds the power to hire, fire, and discipline... and the mayor HATES IT! The Board went into executive session and chose 3 days suspension without pay. He’s part-time, so that’s kind of pointless and was meant to be pointless. They also requested each party apologize to the other. However, the first black female mayor of Pelahatchie has yet to, and likely won’t, apologize. According to her reality, everyone (blacks, whites, Hispanics) is against her because she’s a black woman of power. She’s absolutely delusional.

Wlbt reported that She accepted his apology and forgave him and they have moved on. The whole story and updates should be included in these type stories.

Why would Hinds S.O. get involved in a municipal matter in another county totally out of its jurisdiction? What kinda bullshit IS this anyway?

Anonymous said...

9:57 - That doesn't answer the question of why he was suspended in the first place. What the hell did he do to warrant disciplinary action? And since when are simple personnel matters aired out in a public meeting? That's odd.

@8:16a- Welcome to the stylings of the first black, female mayor of Pelahatchie. KF posted the video of their exchange. Basically, she doesn’t want anyone speaking against her and she shrieks over anyone who does. The issues go back WAY beyond this meeting. The officer’s frustrations didn’t just “happen”... she’s insufferable and essentially wants to strip the PD down and let RCSO take over. The Chief resigned this week to take head job at Natchez.

@7:17a- He’s full-time HCSO and part-time Pelahatchie PD. She had her posse complain to HCSO causing Sheriff to “investigate” the exchange at the Pelahatchie board meeting.

He is a time bomb. The video doesn’t lie. He has little restraint. If he stays in Law Enforcement he will hurt someone or get hurt! But the clapping of his hands tell another story. Hmmmmm.

The officer is just trying to save his job / career.

If he can't handle a nothing ass mayor without starting all that "respect" shit, he is not police material.

Kind of feel sorry for him because she is such a hateful bitch, but you have to be able to keep your cool. Even more so when you're empowered to enforce the law.

Visionary said...

Word on the skreet has it that the Mayor of Pelahatchie will be running for Mayor of Madison against Mary. She won't have to move because it no longer matters where you live when you run for municipal office. If she don't get elected in Madison, she will run for mayor of Canton. The woman is a playa and will be on the big stage for a long time.

Anonymous said...

Even though they both were supposed to apologized to each other, the word is out that she said that she wasn't going to apologize she didn't think that she needed to because SHE didn'tdo anything wrong. But she is the one that starts all the screaming matches during the board meetings if she doesn't want to listen to what is right. She doesn't care about anyone else except herself. And as for the officer he is full time with the town ever since he started.He has a good heart. He wouldn't hurt anyone.

10:05 "...all that "respect" shit..."

Yep, that is much of what is driving and killing the culture.

The schools, monuments, the kneelers in sports, disregard for police... the 120+ killed in Jxn so far ... all driven by the "You Disrespecting Me" crowd.

Anonymous said...

@11:10a- I’m going to guess you’re being sarcastic about Madison. That made me laugh out loud!! She’ll NEVER cut it there, but Canton is a different story. She runs in that circle of folks.

She’s going to be looking for a political position that pays a big salary. She took a $12k a year part time post, that was sliced to $3k due to town being BROKE and has moaned and bitched the whole time. I’m mean, she spews out one side of her mouth about loving the town and wanting to do good for the people and out the other side she’s suing the town for well over $50k (that’s an old number... I’m sure she’s increased it) in backpay because she wants it to be a full-time gig... makes absolutely NO SENSE!! I’m going to bet she’ll move out of her temp Pelahatchie home and go back to Jackson/Hinds Co. where she can scream racism and get her desired results.

Pelahatchie is lost.

Shit. Can we move along? This is nothing more than a classroom full of tenth graders arguing about who will climb out the bedroom windows on Friday night and who threw the first spit-ball from the back row of the classroom.

kingfish, Pelahatchie has lost it's way. In spirit and respect for each other. Show me how it has not gone by the wayside.

BOTH OF THEM NEEDS TO GO!!!!! He violated his code of ethics ( FIRED) she been violated her code of ethics

KF, you know you really piss me off when you block what I presume you must interpret as a racial comment. Far less caustic and pointed as most others, yet not posted. Questioning future contributions like you apparently question posts.

What's all this 'supposed to apologize' bullshit? Is this fifth grade where the teacher requires arguing students to apologize to each other or either stay after school?

None of these people and most of these posters would survive a week in the private sector. A bunch of Yo-Mama whiny babies.

11:10 AM If she does run for the Mayor of Canton, it better than that Bozo they have up there now.

"WLBT reported that She accepted his apology and forgave him and they have moved on."

Well good !

But I must have missed it.
I didn't see any WLBT footage of the two holding hands and singing Kumbaya.

And I get up early every morning to watch WLBT.

(Barbie is very good about letting me know how traffic slows down at "the stack" about 7:45 am).

The officer is rightfully kissed off. The week of thanksgiving I was in city hall and two Pelahatchie officers were in there to pick up their pay checks on Tuesday. Only the mayor can sign the checks. Apparently the mayor sent an email out that she wouldn't be in the office the rest of the week therefore couldn't issue their paychecks...the week of thanksgiving. Yeah, they have every right to give her hell.

Sometimes I can't remember if these threads are about Pelahatchie or Madison.

This is Captain Kangaroo stuff compared to the Town that is home of Last Chance U...all Board meetings are closed door, No Video allowed, even on public streets. Covid was a blessing for them, they haven't unlocked the door since. No CASH payments allowed since Audit began.

The Mayor the College installed is gone, the 15 Roster Police Force created to Qualify for Federal Grants (Including Chief, Assistant Chief, Lieutenant, Sergeants, Corporals, Criminal Investigators, Detective & Patrol Officers + part time Officers) all gone, the long time City Clerk gone, the Municipal Judge gone, the Court Clerk gone, the long time Water/billing Clerk gone, the City Water department Manager & Municipal Employees gone, the College interns gone. The City Prosecutor was also Board Attorney & was able to stay (1 meeting a month). All Police cars sold. & A 4 way stop worth $240k sitting unwatched. Every Police Officer had the same authority as a Deputy Court Clerk, sign Affidavits, levy Fines, Collect Fines, Levy Bond, Collect Bond...sometimes on the side of the road, & most of the records are now missing.

And still under State Audit Investigation since doors locked for 2 days on Feb 1, 2018.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
