Jackson Jambalaya

Oh goodness! What day is the hanging and will it interfere with the Christmas parade?

A young couple in a park smoking weed. What the hell have we become?

Oh No! A young couple in a park smoking weed. What the hell have we become? What day is the hanging and will it interfere with the Christmas parade? Who has the scaffold contract?

Even if it was legal, we don't allow alcohol in parks except for special events, nor should we with weed.

Aren't these two Jackson Police Officers ??

There were 5 that graduated in the most recent recruiting class. Are these 2 of those 5?

What a joke. If this is the best that Jackson can put on the streets to protect the city, then it is really looking bad for Jackson!

WAPT report they were both males. WAPT is such a storehouse of facts! LOL.
Below is what on WAPT website.

"Both Short and McCarty were taken into custody and charged with possession of marijuana and open container violation.

McMillan said the two men are rookie cops with JPD, just recently having graduated from the police academy. Jackson Police Chief James Davis confirmed the two officers are on administrative leave with pay."

Not sure that it’s appropriate to do a press release telling the world you have to LEOs in your holding pen.

Yet more evidence of an endemic crime culture which continues to pile higher than Mt Kilimanjaro.

Two guns and weed and booze. In a public park. If there were a death penalty for stupidity, they would get it. And, they are using while possessing the guns and have undoubtedly lied on their background as well. And they didn't walk there either, most likely, unless they have occupied the riff raff apartments across the street. AMF.

Why they coming to a Flowood park to smoke weed? Ain’t Smith Park in downtown Jackson more convenient?

It is what it is per Flowood PD- life with circumstances huh Jackson, wrong side of the River-

The JPD recruiters got the pick of the litter.

$500,000 for 5 recruits and they can't pick 5 people that can go a year without getting arrested.

6:59, you need to get with the WOKE culture. I'm sure you have just made an assumption from the mugshots about the gender identy of these two fine first responders (you know, that we always have to acknowledge and respect, just because they are part of the larger group). I would imagine that Chief Davis checked their gender identification preference before he talked with the WAPT reporter and properly he/shed them as was their preference. Now, it might be that they been consuming some of that open container contents or using some of that paraphanelia while filling out their personel forms upon joining the force and screwed it up.

But, you just cant be jumping to conclusions about one's gender identity these days because that is one of the serious crimes in our radical new city.

I’m not concerned about the MJ, small amounts shouldn’t be a crime. I’m not concerned about the guns. I am concerned that they were stupid enough to be doing it in a park in Flowood. Evidently critical thinking isn’t a requirement to be employed by the JPD.

Jackson please keep your thugs on your side of the Pearl River.

Should have gone to Battlefield Park where such activities are the norm.

From the ill fated and cancelled "coco with the popo" to
"popo go with the flo".

Looks like that $500,000 for the police academy is paying off!

Jesus Christ. They better not still have jobs. If the mayor would let his disdain of the police go and actually pay them what they deserve, we would have quality candidates applying for the job.

Naw, they must be going undercover!

Darn Flowood Cops. JPD had a lot of money invested in those two lawmen, and the n Flowood goes and ruins everything. Do they have any idea how hard it is to find good cops the patrol Jackson?

Tell me that JPD doesn't drug test without telling me JPD doesn't drug test.

Found the Jackson resident

Does it say whether the officers inhaled?

I think they are smart as hell. Had they done that in public in Jackson they may have gotten shot. They chose location well. They are safe; and now don’t have to go get shot at while on patrol as rookies with JPD. They probably got paid to go through training and a signing bonus and now don’t have to take the job. They will find a better higher paying safer more fulfilling job in two days. Smart as hell practical street move. Bravo.

Both officers were back at work last night… trying to see how that’s possible

Kingfish - What day is special-events-weed-day in the park?

Smells like a setup.

Lulz...wouldn’t this have been legal (decriminalized) back across the river?

Flowood PD just sent a mild but significant message to the LEOs of Jacktown: "We aren't the same blue that you guys are over there. Stay in your lane, or else."

...Was able to pass a drug test?......

...They said Santa Claus has some magic dust....

While I don’t feel that should be a crime, it is certainly stupid to do in Flowood.

The problem with our society today is the fact all of these comments on here & on the news channel's FB posts make it like Flowood PD is overreacting. Sure, I agree a little pot isn't a death sentence. I have smoked more than my fair share. The issue is they are high, with firearms(I assume just chilling on the table) at a park with kids. That's a serious issue. Take that stuff elsewhere. Not only is the devils lettuce still illegal(no matter your opinion of it), doing it in a kids park is not on par either.

Where we at on the murder count?

9:02 AM
149. Murder in NE Jackson last night.

@9:02 AM - 149. 150 is just a bullet away.

These two fine officers now qualify to be on baby chowke's security detail so his nibs won't have to roll his own joints.

7:27 -- I'm sure that's exactly what we want, law enforcement fighting amongst each other. Yes, there's a lot wrong with this situation, but to claim FPD wanted to send a message to JPD officers that they're "different" because 2 ppl screwed up is not the message they are sending. LEO needs to come together and work to ferret out this type of conduct before it turns into something worse, not be divisive and condescending. JPD and FPD literally put their lives on the line everyday for pay that most on here wouldn't have accepted at their first job. Blaming the rest of JPD for the F up of 2 individuals that never really made it onto the force is just simple minded, Neanderthal thinking.

Smoking dope and guns laying around, I think doing that in Flowood is dumb. I don't blame them for not doing it in Battlefield Park, that would be dangerous.

Reefer Madness - JPD style.

It is a misdemeanor charge 5:28AM. They will pay a fine in Flowood and nothing will happen at Jackson PD beyond them being told not to do that again.

SMDH.

If they had any sense they should have gone to Crystal Lake

Short appears to be 6'3". Shouldn't the other guy be called "Short"?

idiots. They could have sat in the middle of County Line Road and no one would have batted an eye. Tryin' to be uppity going to Rankin County. I swear County Line Road has a massive skunk population that is active at 8 AM.

Under federal law they are now prohibited from possessing firearms. It doesn't require a conviction. They are known illegal (under federal law) drugs users.

So. Brand new rookie JPD officers got caught testing product they likely were going to distribute and they are on paid leave ? Sounds about right for the new WOKE ways. Good lawd.

It may be a misdemeanor to possess in this case, but they may have committed a felon in the purchase.

Why? Because sales is a felony, and they would be accessories to the sales, which is a felony.

Flowood officers now ignoring the "thin blue line?" I would have expected the JPD officers to flash their badges, and FPD to send them on their way with no arrest.

Does this signal a free for all, cops vs cops, in central Mississippi? I know if I was JPD and I pulled over a Flowood cop for suspected dui, he's now gonna get the full workup, including torn apart car and drug dog search.

They can’t smoke in a Jackson park because they are too dangerous.

Anyone notice that the JPD chief refused to release their names and specifics/location of this incident? At the direction of Baby Chowke?

They are probationary employees - the arresting officers report/s are sufficient evident to fire them....right? None of this "suspended with pay" crap.

Nothing in the report (shown above) mentions their being JPD officers. Where you got that info KF?

At least they were busted BEFORE the under aged girls got there.

@4:29 PM - Please try to keep up. Did you actually read the press release? If you did, then you failed reading comprehension. Did you read KF's headline? Watch the news? It must be cold in mom's basement right now, right?

Forget about them having weed (which by the way is still illegal) having alcohol and guns. Them coming into Rankins County was just pure stupidity! If this is the caliber of people JPD is hiring for police officers then no wonder they can get the crime under control. Makes you wonder what was going on while they were on duty?

Not a drug user, still see no big deal in the crime, the location was dumb. Should have been 'battlefield park' in Jackson. Get in some impaired gunfighting experience.
