Jackson Jambalaya

Just trying to drive somewhere with running water. Can you blame him?

At least downtown was deserted so no one else was in danger...

Radical

Only in Lumumbaville!

He was probably hungry too. I hope he won't be thrown into the slam too late to be afforded some supper or a snack.

I thought Jackson didn’t chase nonviolent offenders.

Really makes me want to live downtown.

Throw a brick at that mofo!

Bingo 4:44!!!

@10:16 I needed that laugh.

I would hate to be the officer that had that patrol car. That’ll be a nice statement/report and people making fun of you at work.

At least he has a place to call home now.

What language was the guy speaking that was shooting the video

Was that pursuit approved by Chowke Lumbubbles? Oh wait, they tried to contact him but he was in Atlanta (or Miami).

Did Stokes try to stop him by throwing rocks?

He just wanted one last drive before Thanksgiving. The Jails have good thanksgiving meals and sleepovers. Let him go back to the streets cause JPD don’t chase!

Make your mind up, do you chase or don’t chase! Or you just don’t chase dope boys!

Where were the Capitol Police? That would have been a cool chase.

It's now official - They have changed their name to Keystone PD. For you millennials, etc., you will have to look that up.

Free the crown vic.

You can't blame the dude.......those police cars are mighty purty.

“The no-chase policy is based on trying to protect the life and property of individuals who come into contact with the chase,” Lumumba said at the council’s January 5 meeting. “We’ve seen chases from outside agencies, some of which have become deadly, and several of which have led to accidents taking place on private property.”...“Our roads aren’t conducive to high-speed chases to take place,” he said. “It’s very easy for a vehicle to lose control.”...“JPD has been able to review several components of evidence and information … and it is believed that based on the information they have received, there will be subsequent arrests in due time,”

I guess that only matters when the criminal commits the crime on the other side of the river and high tails it back to their safe haven. Chokwe, the laughing stock of Jackson and the majority of the United States.

Rocks, bricks, and stones....

Woop, woop, woop, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

Grand Theft Auto VI: Jackson

Because of the shelters and the train depot in the vicinity, the King Edward and other businesses will continue to be plagued by individuals with mental issues. Some of these people are beyond police control as they do not fear jail at all.

We need more Capitol police in Jackson. I can't picture something like this happening to them.

@8:42 AM - is a genius. As an internet shrink, he has already diagnosed the perp as mentally ill. Bravo!

So, no house arrest?

I think he needed a getaway car for hiding the missing decapitated head.

It would have been great if he had made it into Rankin County and the local authorities told JPD that they aren't allowed to conduct pursuits there.

Now we know why the JPD has orange patrol cars - so they are easier to pursue when stolen. Genius!

8:55 I too, assume the person stealing a police cruiser to have no fear of the police. That's a mental issue.

Dude was confused. Thought he would be safe if he could make it to Pearl.

was akroyd back in town to film the 2022 blues brothers?

I don't blame the man. If I was stuck in Jackson I would do just about anything to get out of the city.

while standing around a barrel fire " here hold my mad dog 20/20 and watch this"

Practicing to be one of the next JPD class of recruits!

Fortunately, most of our criminals are dumber than a post or high as a kite. They cause grief and get caught.

No charges. https://www.wapt.com/article/man-accused-of-stealing-jpd-car-leading-officers-on-chase/41934972

"The chief said it is a violation of standard operating procedure for an officer to get out of the car and leave the engine running."

I don't think this rookie is the only one to not get that memo.

Probably being paid to drive down the value of the King Edward so it can be acquired by Richard's Resorts.

So what exactly was the police officer doing when he left his cruiser running?

@1:53 PM - putting the arm on a business for free donuts.

He isn't "homeless" if he lives in a JPD patrol car.

Drive it like ya' stole it! Ohhh wait dang you sho did!!

@8:14pm
Maybe a 'Clown Vic' fake chase with trick slide drivers every fri night as a City sponsored event could bring crowds downtown.

What did the dude have to lose? Cold weather coming, he will have a warm dry place to sleep. Food, not gourmet cooking but he wasn’t exactly eating high on the hog. Evidently drugs are available in jail, so what’s the big deal.
