What a clown. This dumb SOB doesn’t care about safety in Jackson. He only cares about complaining about laws being enforced.
F that guy and his stupid mayor.
If you attend be sure to wear a pair of waders. Right?
Either attend and tell us facts or shut up.
5:43
Just go ahead and say it. You want a Jackson where there is no justice and no peace which is exactly what you've gotten.
No justice (see Tomie Green)
No peace (see social media and channel(s) 3, 12 and 16.
Agree with 5:31..
Only 3 hours notice of this supposed meeting ? I'll be interesting to see if representatives JPD, HCSO, and the CPD attend. Maybe they had notice earlier than just 3 hours ago.
I also wonder if Kenneth Stokes will appear and give his opinion. He's been advocating that the National Guard be called in to help with the rampant crime in Jackson, so I'm assuming he has no problem with the Capitol Police helping.
Presumably, he will talk about the story he posted on his social media where a bystander, Latasha Smith, was recently shot in her home by stray bullets from the capitol police. I haven’t seen the story reported anywhere so not sure about any further details. I’m surprised it didn’t make the news.
I can think of several people who do not know the difference between capitol and capital.
I also agree with @5:31 PM. Right?
How many times will they pass the plate and who will be the beneficiary of the collections?
5:54 proves my point
Was his buddy Polo invited? Maybe Capital Police can give him a ride.
Ah yes, nothing solves issues like forums and talking.
He also has UTube video voicing his complaints.
Looks like the 14 in attendance appreciated it
Just make sure the U-Hauls have security while people leave that crap J-town.
The worst I have to deal with in Madison is a random armadillo.
Sounds like the reverend and mayor are upset their enterprises are at threat.
Why not have a series of forums, a listening tour, during which Jackson residents tell the police which laws they want enforced in their neighborhoods and which they don’t?
Looked like a script right off Law and Order SVU.
Why is it every time people try to do something about the crime in Jackson they are met with so much resistance?
Fighting crime is racist.... didn't y'all know that?
@7:50am - Maybe it’s because they’re not actually doing anything but talking about doing something?
Doesn't the good REV live in Clinton?
Best thing to do is ignore them and continue doing your job. Doesn’t matter what you do, they’ll always complain.
He lives in Crystal Springs.

The only “thing” people can do is support law enforcement and not raise hell when they actually do their job. Your choice, let the police control crime or the criminals (this includes that sorry Rev who gets payoffs) it’s that simple. I was raised in Jackson and currently work downtown, I hope CP rids us of the soulless animals!
It seems the church would lose its non tax status if this were to happen
Pastor Pickett is a money-grubbing fake pastor who is aligned with the Mayor to make money on city contracts.
Pickett, Socrates, Crudup, Lumumba - all in one room. The four horsemen of Jackson's apocalypse.
The mayor's nickname should be "The Deflector."
Pastor Pickett, get with the Police Chief and the Jail Administrators and School Principals in your city. Provide them with names of these young fools committing all these acts of violence and pass along to the concerned pastors in the your Communities. Then let the pastors go talk to the PARENTs of the youth they are trying to save!
If not, when and if they commit a crime don’t cry foul!
Quit talking to the law abiding citizens wasting their time. Y’all are talking to the wrong party!
Pastor Pickett if you really want to make a positive change go out in the communities and talk to the people committing these crimes. Talking to the law abiding citizens ain’t gonna do shit. They are scared shitless!
Now when these fools start breaking into your house, stealing your property and harming your relatives do not call the police. Go and have a meeting. Do not call the Police!
Just saying, keep it 100
Remember the Police ain’t social workers or pastors in training!
The Police protect the all citizens, however the way they do it may not be to your liking. Keep on pastoring pastor Pickett, stay out or the business of policing.
Now I know the Governor can hire you as Chief of Capital Police since you all in their kool aide.
Pastor Pickett these young fools are out of control, they need you!
Pickett, Socrates, Crudup, Lumumba - all in one room. The four horsemen of Jackson's apocalypse
EXACTLY.
Pickett is just one more race hustling parasite, looking to feast off the rotting carcass of his decomposing community before it decomposes completely.
But "he got his"! For everyone else... sucks to be you.
A real 'Man of the People'.
Disgusting.
Pastor don’t live in Jackson! What is your motive Pastor? Go out in the streets and talk to the people without Police escorts.
You be the Police! You may get the results you want.
You just talk, talk and talk and then run back into your safe haven before the crazies come out to rob, steal and kill.
I’ll bet the Sheriff and Chief are sick and tired of your meddling. Governor Reaves ain’t going to listen to that nonsense.
Support the Police Pastor and stay out of their affairs respectfully.
Should the IRS and Dept of Revenue investigate if Pastor Pricket is still qualified as a religious organization or is acting as a Political Arm for Da Maya??
Why is it that everyone who is committing crime in Jackson has Antar’s cell phone and is related to a JPD officer. This goes all the way back to that drug dealer Melton.
Pickett is the worst!! He is the one that should investigated.
