Dayumn. Jackson Ward 3 Councilman Kenneth Stokes went fourth and accused Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba of well, partaking in certain recreations. Watch the video.
The Mayor should have expected something like this from Mr. Stokes after he accused the Councilman of taking bribes on the garbage contract Monday. Mr. Stokes didn't just have something to say about that accusation but made a formal request to the Justice Department to investigate the garbage contract ordeal.

Go Kennuf!
I must concede, this may be my favorite comment he has ever made. Although telling Omari she wasn't "elected to shit" is just about as good.
In accusing council members of taking bribes, the mayor has totally lost it. Dude is in Donald Trump land. Drugs would at least be an excuse.
STOKES for MAYOR!!!!
Kenneth must have been in club with him.
Stokes should trademark his hat and make a nice income selling them.
Best Stokes comments:
1) booboo. Raw booboo
2) Nobody elected you to shit
3) The mayor is smokin too much dope
A brilliant moment in political public relations - hit the mayor where he ain't with a totally unexpected accusation that on the surface has more credibility than Stokes taking bribes. Changes the discussion & ballgame altogether.
Chowke prolly ain’t using drugs but maybe tangled up with the ones selling them! He ain’t ever worked this hard in his life! Like he’s scared of what happen if that garbage money don’t come through!!
No lies detected from the statement.
What Richards Disposal does next will be very telling.
I don’t care what anyone says (nor about the future of Jackson so, grain of salt) but I like this sumbitch
@11:14 AM - That's "Doctor" Omari to you. LOL.
Honk your horn if you've ever smoked dope with the mayor - or if you believe he should take a drug test.
So when will Detroit get here?
crickets from lumumba and his boot lockers now…
if the feds investigate…we might see the real connections
stokes is right. neighborhood man. born and raised in the same house. still lives there.
Oh boy. Lumumba lobbed a pinecone and Stokes responded with a handgrenade. My popcorn is ready.
12:03 is correct. If Richards throws their hands up, after Stokes asking for an investigation, it will tell all that needs to be told.
My favorite was, “is the mayor soft on crime because of his affiliations with dope boys? Or is the mayor soft on crime because he IS a dope boy?”
He need's it for his IOP. The state is just moving to slow with the Medical Marijuana
Kenny Stokes for Mayor
word on da skreet is richards has asked WM to subcontract for them IF richards manages to get contract.
i am starting to think stokes is the only one with half a brain. scary times
Stokes is no joke! Stokes lives and breathes in the hood. Da Mayor lives behind the gate. Street credibility: Stokes 100
Da Mayor .05
The alleged white devils of northeast Jackson live more among the people than the highfalutin mayor. We don't even need gates. What are you so scared of mayor??
Gotta say that any other mayor not named Marion Berry or that dude from Detroit, would be filling the airwaves with guarantees to sue Stokes for slander for those dope comments. The mayor's inaction is disturbing as Stokes sounds like he can back it up.
Jackson may be a lot of things, most of them bad, but one thing it ain't and that's DULL.
Who needs FLORIDA MAN when you have Jackson Govt.
If Stokes was taking bribes you would think he would buy some nicer suits or even a nicer hat not the trucker style hat.
3:40 Trucker hats are IN. Check your local boutiques. They need to stock the STOKES version!
Go Kenneth I.!
I need myself a "STOKES" hat. I might get some of these made. Anyone want to go in on a bulk order with me? It's time we do this.
If I get these made, will you all really buy them?
All we need is a RICO allegation or two to make this garbage dispute 100% lit af!
10:19 - I predict you would sell 1000 the first week, alone. I'd set the price between $17.50 and $22.50. Don't be surprised when some folks order by the box (12).
I can hear it now..."Gimme two! My momma want one!"
Just ask the most prominent dealer deep down Capitol St. who he has agreements with for kickbacks and protection (JPD).
A fed investigation could warrant Choke to submit a hair sample - which can detect up to 90 days any substance. That's why the silence...Stokes is priceless, but Choke knows this ain't no joke.
Macy, some [x] portion of hat sales should go to Stokes.
Hopefully someone will weed out the truth, otherwise this just cracks me up. Is Chowke a crystal Methodist? Regardless, he is all smoke and mirrors.
@ 10:19
I would buy one in a heartbeat. I actually looked for one recently because I thought SURELY this guy sells these things and he s not missing a golden merch opportunity.
Nope.......no dice
Stokes poor?
Between he and his wife, they probably make from 160k to 175k a year and no rent/mortgage.
He is a public figure. I think this is First Amendment political expression. We should be good on Operation #StokesHatReality.
Update forthcoming.
Does anyone remember the quote where Stokes, when addressing Sheriff Mac being appointed Chief of JPD, saying, in response to a reporter, who asked "should Mac be chief and sheriff?"
Stokes: "hell no, hell to the no, and hell naw."
News station must have pulled it and I have searched on end for it and can't find the video.
No video here at this link, but here's a WLBT story from 2007 quoting what Stokes said when he was asked if then Mayor Frank Melton should have appointed Malcolm McMillin to be the Chief of the Jackson Police Department: https://www.wlbt.com/story/7379679/stokes-mcmillin-shouldnt-be-chief/
He need to leave that dope alone!
