Welcome to downtown Jackson on the weekends. Downtown residents met with JPD several times only to receive empty promises of "there will be more patrols", "something will be done", and "we are going to do something." Of course, nothing ever happens.
Oh yes, the four-wheelers are appearing more and more on Old Canton Road by Precinct 4. So much for having a presence to reduce crime.

Ain’t different than white boys cruisin in hotrods and drag bikes in the 60s and 70s.
Just because y’all intimidated by black folks don’t make it no worse
I don't recall them taking over major streets in Jackson, riding illegal vehicles such as 4-wheelers on the streets, and terrorizing people. I seem to remember a drag race on waterworks and lakeland killing an innocent lawyer and injuring his brother as they drove down Lakeland minding their own business.
Governor needs to expand capitol police and their radius. Use them to address this. This is near the heart of the capitol. I'm not from Jackson (or live in the surrounding area) yet this kind of shit still affects me because it affects my state and fellow Mississippians. Unlike some of you, I want the state to do what it can to help.
@4:32 Your racist ignorance is showing.... Any color person 'cruising" slowly down a street to be seen is not a problem. Any color person driving vehicles that are not street legal, and racing/driving recklessly down a city street is a problem.
EZ solution. EZ Rider.
I don't think "intimidated by black people" is correct. Rather, I think working class folks of all races are intimidated by what seems to be a concentration of stupidity and even a total disregard for life, including their own, amongst a certain group of people from a certain part of Jackson.
Just wait until the food shortages start. Literally gonna see Mad Max Jackson.
This is occurring literally in the heart of the Capitol Complex Improvement District. Why don’t you diss on the state police, too? They have concurrent police jurisdiction over the entire District.
I mistakenly thought the Repubs. were the party of law and order, at least that’s what they say. What gives?
This makes me sick. Clinton has family movies downtown. We have this shit.
4:32, Were you born in the 60s and 70s, and did you actually witness such behavior?
Even if you were, and you did, it is 2022, not the 60s and 70s.
I live in Madison. After traveling, I landed at a Medgar Evers airport at about 9:30 P.M. I was driving home and got in the middle of a “drag race” which started about a quarter of a mile north of the Highway Patrol headquarters on I 55 north. Now don’t tell me that MHP is unaware of the sh*t going on within earshot of the state headquarters.
Whoever invested in the Walthall Lofts probably wants their money back. It amazes me that the city is letting a handful of punks dominate what amounts to 100s of millions of dollars in investment.
Jackson can no longer cry racism and inequality when investors refuse to put another dime into that hell hole. It's total lawlessness.
I don’t see how the King Edward survives.
Biggest lies, right?
-The check's in the mail
-I love you no shit
-It's a perception of crime
-We will deploy more officers immediately
-Right?
This is great. Eventually one of these criminal mess with the wrong person and be dead on the pavement.

I mean, at the end of the day.....JPD is doing nothing about it.....Capitol Police are doing nothing.....MHP is doing nothing....all this stuff about getting all involved after the I-55 shutdown doughnut bonanza, and location of funds and removal of the ordinance that prevented MHP from patrolling inside city limits, and nothing gets done.....who couldn't see this from the cheap seats on PLUTO!!!.....and all this republican / democrat junk (your a racist / no your a racist)....get real, we all are getting played by each and every single person elected to office......Prove me wrong
So embarrassing on so many levels.
4:32. That’s funny as hell. “Intimidated “ hahahaha try amused. Y’all can’t ride worth a damn. Don’t forget to keep your feet off the pegs when you go slow. Hahahhahahhahaš¤”
I grew up in Northpointe and live in Madison now. I drove down Old Canton yesterday and was appalled at what I saw. My old stomping grounds is now a slum and there is nothing to save it. It’s crazy. The bulk of the taxpayers have moved and it is a complete shitshow.
Where the Hell is all these cameras the police put out. Hundreds of thousands of dollars wasted. Someone got a sweet deal! The police said they could spot a tick on a thug ass. Waste, Waste, Waste.
Right Right.
The city with soul! Who the hell wants soul?
5:09, Clinton's Mayor is a former Marine, while Jackson's mayor is a, well uh, you fill in the blank.
Rumor has it that Jones Walker and most of Trustmark are exiting downtown Jackson.
Lumumba’s dad would have kicked their asses.
imagine thinking this is cool. what a bunch of fucking retards
WTF!!!! I finally realized why I moved to Madison County in 2008 after watching that video. Come on out and and try that.
Stokes gets the blame for a lot of shit...but I can guarantee you he's not on one of those four-wheelers or crotch-rockets.
This 'hold my beer' crowd knows you couldn't catch them if you tried.
Past time for a Snake Plissken to deliver Mr. Stokes from Chok's dope boys.
Hollywood couldn't have dreamed up a script that begins to approach the decline of the bold new city.
Guess these folk just like to relax after a hard day at work.
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
How is that "real time crime center" working out? Cameras provided by friends of the mayor, right? That aren't even hooked up, right?
But you bitches living in Jackistan keep voting for him, right?
Lumumba's dad couldn't kick his way out of a wet kleenex with both feet and a chainsaw.
In Capitol Police, that can't do nothing about it because they don't have the personal to handle the situation.They actually don't have the administration in place to handle it either. There's only a few Real Police officers that work there.
4:32 is a troll. If not, God help him.
It saddens me that this is the capitol city, the representation of the state, and yet watching the video I would not have been surprised to see a Tacoma going down the road with a pedestal mounted .50 in the bed. No water, no trash pickup, roads deteriorating, and now this shit show not in some out of the way neighborhood but right in downtown. Jackson's downtown is like four city blocks square. You're telling me you can't patrol that enough to deter this kind of crap? The fact that the city takes no action to me is just racism.
Muni court prosecutors and judges don't take car punks' street wildings seriously so cops ignore it.
Maybe if City towed and impounded vehicles for first offense, courts could deal with backlog of serious crimes.
Coming to a street near you - North Jackistan. But don't move to Madison County because we don't need any more liberals. (Liberals, because anyone who insists on remaining in Belhaven or The Fondren, for example, must be a friggin' liberal who keeps voting for the fool mayor and Virgi.)
4:32 : No one is worried about skinny runt pants on the ground wanna be thugs. They are lucky folks aren't going full on 70's on their punk asses. Bottom line is that MOST of Jacksons police force spend on the clock hours chilling in cul-de-sacs with local talent.......the new ride along program if you will.
It never ceases to amaze me that we have to bring race into this. Anyway there is about 2 percent of the citizens of Jackson who don't care about anything. They don't care who they kill hell they don't even care if they kill themselves riding a 4 wheeler down a busy street. I wish we could please ask any of these young people and i use that term loosley if they have jobs besides slinging dope. It's real simple JPD stop them give them a ticket and impound the 4 wheeler and motorcycle. My goodness the JPD headquarters is 2 blocks away. It's a disaster.
Why didn't Capital Police stop them? It's their jurisdiction... it's part of the Capital Complex.
And I'm sure all those four wheelers and bikes have been purchased legally. You can ask for the registration on them and the per.... uh owners can whip those suckers out.
At the 1:15 mark, aren't those blue lights at the top of the frame and the off-road bikes and four-wheelers are just allowed to leave?
Cops have no expectation to protect BUT they have the responsibility to take up any lawful problems you have. They are expected to take it from there and do something about it. Ex parte.
Thankfully, your twice elected leader is actively working to fix the crime and failing infrastructure and zealously encouraging gentrification!
Wait, umm...I am being told he is actually busy spending your money in a court room to ruin the only working service you had?
That cant be true?
Right?
I don't think JPD has the manpower for the patrols.
8:09 PM
The only thing I can confirm about Trustmark is that a Datacenter will be built somewhere in Madison county. No idea on time frame, but it's unique that it's servers are located in the main office building. A building that hasn't had it's electrical system upgraded since it was built.
9:31 : Sure they do. Problem is leadership !! Both with Capitol Police and JPD. JPD hiding in cul-de-sacs with their side lays and Capitol Police simply not there after the sun goes down.

Note section 6, not that it means shit around here.
The problem is the Federal Building, the State Government and most major hospitals and clinics are in Jackson. University Hospital, Baptist, St. Dominic, VA, and more can't pick up and leave. They are stuck there, so many thousands of people have to come into the city to work or get care. A bad situation.
THIS IS WHY investors for the downtown restoration projects backed out.
It's not about Republicans or Dummocrats. It's about thugs being allowed to get away with this with no police presence. The JPD officers I have seen are obese and out of shape. They can't risk getting out of their cars and foot chasing a suspect. Risk of coronary. That leaves common folk to disturb their calm. Where Mas'r Stokes "con-demmin'" these folk? Two words: spike strips. On Amazon.
Just walk away and let it fail.
There is just no helping Jackson while The Veto King is on the throne.
And he will be replaced (eventually) by an almost exact carbon copy.
May we hear from the folks who purchased units at the King Edward or Lamar Life?
Right?
It’s not just JPD. Downtown residents have met repeatedly with Capital Police, JPD, and Hinds SO. Every time we are told that something will be done. We have three law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction in the downtown district, but we rarely see a patrol car after dark.
"We have three law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction in the downtown district, but we rarely see a patrol car after dark."
I'd be very interested to know why that is so. I think it's a great question.
Now that’s what you call privilege.
