Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk ... and more talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.
I wonder how open they would be to expanding the police presence, keeping violent inmates off bail and serving maximum sentences, and hunting down gang members like deer?
Can't wait to see this brain trust come up with some solid ideas, nope just a bunch of radicals eating free food
Gumflapper will be in his element.
Wonder what's for dinner.
Cratered streets, open sewers, poison water, business closures, embezzling grifters and collapsed bridges make folks mean. Y'all people give the marxist mayor a ringing earful!
I predict talk of gun control, more basketball courts, social workers, and the like.
Bet not one conversation about parents actually raising morally sound children.
Because if it does not come with "free" government cash or benefits, they really don't want to hear it.
And the ugly hard truth is, our society is inundated with unfit/absent parents.
That is why we have ended up with hoards of useless parasitic humans.
Real parenting is hard, and produces productive members of society.
this conversation should start and end with "families". If you have intact, caring, loving families the crime rate would decrease by 80% overnight. And everyone knows this.
Heh, They are going to get attendance by giving a meal to those who attend. Would love to see attendance figures for this meeting
In reality, the people embrace, nurture and excuse crime.
The first word says it all: Conversations. All this meeting will be is a lot of talk. A lot of talk about (a) why no one actually committing the violence / crime is responsible for the violence / crime, and (b) why white people should be blamed for everything wrong with Jackson.
That should be a very short discussion. That is if they are really interested in lowering crime in Jackson. It is simple. Just put the crooks in jail instead of letting them walk the streets and commit more crimes.
Somehow I doubt that subject will never come up.
So basically the National League of Cities is here to see how the $1 million dollar grant they awarded to Jackson for "safety and violence reduction strategies" is being put to use.
So far, it appears to be a lot of "conversation" and little action, unless you count protesting against HB 1020 and providing free meals and childcare during said "conversation" to drum up interest. Would love to know how much of the $1 million grant has been spent to date and on what, and obviously what % is benefitting friends and/or relatives of the mayor.
1. Gun show "loop-holes"
2. "Open carry" laws
3. "Common sense" gun control
4. Racist governor's office
5. Trump
6. Pursuits from Rankin, Warren, and Madison Counties
7. Yawn
8. Yawn, yawn
9. Oh wait, IT'S A PERCEPTION OF CRIME.
Now just wait a second! The mayor has already proclaimed that it's a PERCEPTION of CRIME, and THERE are NO GANGS in Jackson.
Right?
Right?

If it was a "perception of crime" after he took office, but now there is a crime problem, then that happened on HIS WATCH!
Right?
let me know when accountability and responsibility come up on the agenda ...
Second annual. What did the first one accomplish?
"The Public Safety Taskforce of the Mayor’s Office"? Who Knew?
But it is indeed a start to acknowledge victims of homicide are encountering a "public health issue".
Hmmm. I need to go back to the agenda/guest list and see if the Cap PoPo are invited to speak.
Talk is cheap and always a bunch of bullshit, especially when it comes to libbed up events like this. As long as they continue to talk about the problem and not actually do anything, then crime in Jacktown will continue to get worse. All liberals know how to do is talk; they are not known to be doers.......that would require too much effort.
They will never mention the need for more police, or changing the "culture" in Jackson. This is just the same tired old rhetoric that the mayor pushes around while he builds his new republic via the deterioration of Jackson.
Also, some consultant is probably getting paid through some grant for these meetings if I had to guess.
Jackson has a gang problem. Lumumba must acknowledge that first.
@10:48 Of course they weren't invited - if they were given the opportunity to be there to engage with the public and defend themselves against the narrative pushed by the mayor, the mayor would have no one to point fingers at during the "conversation". I'm sure he'll tell the people who show up that cap police was invited but chose not to attend. And continue to spout off figures about their "police-involved shootings" but fail to give the same stats on JPD. Or any relevant stats for that matter. Only those that suit his narrative.
It's sad so many of his followers can't seem to see through his bs, but it's getting harder to ignore now that the majority of the city council is standing up to him.
Never thought about violent crime being addressed "...from a public health perspective".
But then again, I suppose if you get shot, you'd be unhealthy.

Fuck all.
Like it’s some big mysterious secret and they just can’t put their finger on why crime is high? Pretend much?

Interesting article.
Is this press release a ploy to get Rukia TV time, LOL
10:27 The $1 million covers the dinner & guest speakers. Right?
Also will the audience Pledge Allegance to the US while the Mayor-who is receiving a check from US taxpayers steps up and leads the Pledge as opposed to leaving the room? Right! Let’s see how the media show this on National news!
Looks like 10:12 pretty much covered it.
Just offering a couple of fund-raiser ideas to the group for tomorrow night. 1) Sell a card for "over-under" on the number of times "Right" will be spoken by the Mayor, and 2) Have a perfecta card for the exact number of times "Right" will be spoken by the Mayor. $1.00 per card on the first and a $10.00 card on the second.
Will the have the pledge of allegiance?
Come for dinner…stay for the show 😂
JPD is reporting crime is down in Jackson. This meeting must be a celebration.
Racism, Chuck’s new world order and it’s the man’s fault. That should sum it up.
Please let there be a video of this meeting.
So, does this mean that non-violent crime is OK, or just not a priority?
So, it's been three days. Where's the follow from our local correspondent who tracks Chokwe like a hound dawg?
