JPD Officer Screws Up

Suicide by cop?


Updated: JPD issued the following statement: 

 JPD says they received an armed robbery in process call around 4:00 p.m. Tuesday at the Shell Sprint Mart.

Once police arrived, the suspect, Solomon Jamison, began firing shots inside of the business and then proceeded to shoot at officers who were outside the premises.

Officers began to return fire, striking Jamison. He was transported to the University of Mississippi Medical Center, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Kingfish note: In most cities, the officer would be congratulated for stopping a robbery and potentially saving the life of the clerk.  However, this took place in Jackson, Mississippi where reality seldom meets logic.  This poor schmuck will be suspended with pay for one to two years.  It sucks but that is what the people of Jackson want while they hold their precious little crime rallies.   

Back to the crime.  Was this suicide by cop?

Not to mention the civil suit(s) that will be filed against him by the poor innocent perp's family.

Thank You Officer! I hope all works out well for you.

Reminds me of the sign a yut was holding.
"A person should not be shot just for trying to make a living"

Mayor to Chief of Police,” I want his head, I know good and damn well he did not shoot a robber, what in the hell are your officers doing”?

If the department truly sides with the criminal in this case, I hope what's remaining of the force WALKS.

The supporters of this criminal BETTER NOT start throwing around the line that he'd "be alive if not for the actions of this officer." Folks get shot at gas stations almost daily in Jackson. That logic no longer flies courtesy of their own behavior.

I cannot wait to hear how many chances this "victim" has already been afforded. It is unimaginable how self-destructive these people are.

The crowd you pander to will love it, when cops are placed on leave it’s for their benefit too. Even a cop needs consuling when he shoots someone.

Kingfish said...

BS. Where did I say such cops didn't need time off. There is a difference between recovery and punishment. Maybe you forgot the mayor saying a year or two ago that he thinks such cops should go through the grand jury not once but twice.

Of course, you'll defend suspending them for you a year or two.

Where's the Go Fund Me page? I'll donate to this hero!

Laugh at loud for your suggestion that this result (year or two paid) wouldn’t result in other cities of the same size. You and I both know better.

Jackson isn’t special in this regard.

If he did nothing wrong, what’s wrong with a grand jury looking into it.

Bad cops put good cops in this situation

We would build a statue to this brave officer in Madison.

No one said a grand jury shouldn't. That's standard procedure in most jurisdictions. Sitting them on the bench for a year or two is different.

Why would you title this "Officer screws up" ? Thats quite an assumption without having all the facts.

6:54, we could explain it to you, but we can't understand it for you. It is that simple, if you need it explained you can't understand it. I typed it slowly, let it sink in.

I am sick of this dipshit Mayor's loud and continual apologists. He phucking sucks in every way possible and you know it. You are protecting jobs period. He is god awful.

@6:54pm - You must be new.

I'd expect there is video and that it shows a LEO doing exactly what they are supposed to do. This should be a week to investigage it at most; give the cop a 2 week with pay vacation and a promotion.

WLBT gives a very different account from Kingfish.

According to the Jackson Police Department, a 28-year-old man was fatally shot on E. Northside Drive in Jackson.

JPD says they received an armed robbery in process call around 4:00 p.m. Tuesday at the Shell Sprint Mart.

Once police arrived, the suspect, Solomon Jamison, began firing shots inside of the business and then proceeded to shoot at officers who were outside the premises.

Officers began to return fire, striking Jamison. He was transported to the University of Mississippi Medical Center, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Calm down you are spot on. Thank Jesus this Officer had the guts to react as he did; otherwise, it could have cost him and the sales clerk both their lives! LEO’s do NOT go to work Wanting to Shoot or kill another person but if it is their life on the line Damn Skippy their families deserve to see them come home each night. One to two years on leave is simply punishment for a job well done! God Bless this Officer !

Look at all the Christians wishing a head shot had been fatal.

Well, when the real time crime center can't help you in real time and the credible messenger took the day off, JPD using the cranial messenger was probably the best option.

Right? Right! said...

It's now 8:08 p.m. and with what we know now in this incident it should be easy for Chowke to cue up the "mental health" card, right?

Anonymous said...

No 7:52 PM, we are all wishing these worthless thugs would stop their criminal ways. I dare say that if the Solomon Jamison had been in the store buying merchandise instead of robbing it while armed he would have walked out to live another day. Do stupid things and eventually you'll pay the price.

The officer should be commended for his actions, given a nice salary increase and all expense paid vacation.

7:52 Christians will be praying for non Christians.

8:19 You didn't just miss the point, you proved it. Of course the criminal is to blame -- but many of you Bible thumpers are genuinely disappointed he isn't dead. The title of this thread sums it up: an armchair bloodlust, at once flippant and depraved.

It's always sad when a life is taken, in this case the initial reports indicate it was a "good shooting" and the appropriate action. The deceased is someone's son, brother maybe father. He choose to commit this crime and has suffered the consequence's along with his family. No one is the winner here.

@7:05pm wins the internet for the week on that comment.

My daughter was in the store before police were called. In fact may have been the first call to 911. The robber shot a gun and told her to get out. I’m so thankful he let her leave and I’m sorry to hear he died, but I’m also thankful for police officers who run into dangerous situations with little or no information and make instant decisions that could cost them their jobs if not their lives in order to protect others. They aren’t perfect, but they deal with more than we, as civilians can ever know.

I got shot at in Jackson several years ago walking down the street. I moved 3 weeks later to Gluckstadt. Now I worry about deer eating my flowers and an occasional snake or turtle in the yard. I was born and raised in Jackson and have no idea how the city because so numb to the rampant crime. God bless all those without the means or the sense to get the hell out of there.

Suicide by cop? Yep, sure looks like it, and no damn foolin'.

Putting a cop on paid leave when he shoots a perp is not uncommon; in fact it is routine. It takes the pressure off the cop while the facts are sorted out and all the legalisms are exhausted, etc. I had a friend who was a New Orleans cop and shot and killed a perp in a similar situation. He was on paid leave for about five years as the case traveled up the state court system and then up the federal court system all the way to the US Supreme Court. He won all cases, but by that time he had lost all desire to be a cop and went into IT. This all happened in the 1990’s.

What a wonderful story! A criminal is dead, tax payers won’t have to fund his PD, trial, mental health treatment or his eventual incarceration. Maybe this will send a message to other Hinds Co hooligans. Praise Him!!

@6:39am - Haha, you serious?

8:45 sounds like he/she needs some of our Christian prayers because he clearing wants to join the Bible thumpers that he holds to such impossibly high standards of perfection.

Welcome brother.

Wow said...

Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on us, sinners. Please forgive us of our evils. Remember us, grant us your Grace. Please do not let our evils lead to more evils. We are in every moment always in need of you. We love you. Amen.

Suspended with pay for one or two years. What exactly does that mean? Is there any difference between this and paid vacation? Just wondering what the down side is for the officer if they were justified in their use of force.

Anonymous said...

Agree with 6:39... once they become rabid, this is the best outcome.

Kingfish said...

Because it effectively cuts their pay nearly in half. They can't get overtime. They can't work details, even private ones, because they are on suspension. There are multiple lawsuits by cops who have been cleared yet were forced to ride the pine.

@10:33 “ I was born and raised in Jackson and have no idea how the city because so numb to the rampant crime”

Because society has been indoctrinated to believe that racism is more abhorrent more than gang violence.

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.
