Officer-Involved Shooting in Jackson

 The Mississippi Department of Public Safety issued the following statement. 

The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation (MBI) is investigating an officer-involved shooting involving a Mississippi State Capitol Police Officer that occurred on January 28th, 2024.

At approximately 4:00 p.m. in the area of Porter Street and University Boulevard, Capitol Police attempted to initiate a traffic stop on a vehicle. The driver then led the officers on a brief pursuit before getting out of his vehicle on Winter Street. The subject exited the vehicle with a weapon and the officers at the scene exchanged gunfire with the subject. The subject received injuries and was transported to a local hospital. The officers involved did not receive any serious physical injury. The officers involved were wearing body cameras and the footage is being preserved. The investigation is ongoing and any information is subject to change.

MBI is currently assessing this critical incident and gathering evidence. Upon completing the investigation, agents will share their findings with the Attorney General’s Office.

This has got to stop, capitol police are way to aggressive. I don’t blame the man for running and having to be ready to fight for his life. Capitol PD do nothing but profile and harrass black folks.

“Exchanged fire”. Sounds like there isn’t much to investigate for MBI. Shoot at police and he is still alive?

I am sure this was because of some racist cop yada yada.

If the Great Society would raise their children in stable homes with a family unit our crime situation would be almost none existent. And that’s just telling the truth.

Your a troll my brother is a Capital PD officer and I can tell you the force is over 75% black. Your a moron and read far much liberal media. Black citizens support the Capitol police
The naacp is on the wrong side here. Get back to your luxury life in NE Jackson and your spot in line at St Andrews drop off. The lower income single black moms overwhelming support the Capitol police. We can’t all live behind big expensive gates now can we.

@10:44.....is that sarcasm? Thank you to the Capitol Police for doing the job JPD should be doing. Seems like they profiled correctly in this case.

I think the lacksadasical attitude towards crime and those who commit crimes (black or white), has enabled the city to get in the shape its in now. I have said it a million times and I will say it a million more. I don't care about young people who allegedly have committed some type of heinous crimes. I care only about someones elderly grandmother on mill street, or roach street, who is unable to defend herself. We need SAFETY not social justice.

Whatever it takes to get to SAFETY within REASON is fine by me. I am not advocating for racism I am advocating for enforcing the laws we have without prejudice.

"This has got to stop, capitol police are way to (sp) aggressive."

Great idea -- let's make them as benign as the JPD! Can't blame racism, though. They can't see who is in the car because of the illegal window tint.

Not a fan of Tate.

The Capitol Police idea is a blessing for anyone living in Jackson.

The layer of judges idea? Won’t work practically as the appeal process will likely hinder the goal….but a valiant effort nonetheless.

I honestly think if the police could arrest 250-300 people - and keep them in jail - Jackson would start to rebound. The repeat offenders are the main source (not the only) of serious crime in Jackson.

WLBT's version of this story states the armed fugitive initiated the gunfire which sparked the return fire. Perhaps you'd prefer the cops to take a bullet in the interest of "equity", or shoot the gun out of the man's hand? Or were you being sarcastic?

Great job to the Capitol Police!!

Let's get those machine guns warmed up and in the vehicles so the officers will have a fighting chance against these criminals with 30 round fully automatic Glocks.

All you folks posting on here, let's see the video before we pass judgement for or against.

10:44, I agree, ‘this has got to stop’, thugs running from the police when getting pulled over and then shooting at them! This sorry POS should have been put down w a head or neck shot so the rest of us don’t have to support his sorry ass in prison the rest of his life. He was obviously guilty of something felonious otherwise he wouldn’t have fled. It’s dumbasses like you who defend criminals and blame police for doing their jobs that keep Jackson the 3rd world criminal shithole it is.

1) "You would think the bad guys would have learned by now."

Bad guys are too stupid to learn.

2) "Capitol PD do nothing but profile and harrass black folks"

Sorry, I missed it - please point put anywhere this report gave the race of the alleged criminal. Otherwise your own prejudice is showing.

@10:44 sounds like you and people with your mindset are half of the problem. Obey the officer's instructions, shut your mouth, and don't flee the scene. Three simple steps to not getting shot.
Oh, and don't fire a weapon at an officer. They tend to frown upon that.

Perp obviously has a record and was headed back to jail if caught. He decided to take the "death by cop" route and the cops (in this case) were bad shots. Next man up.

10:44, maybe if people wouldn't run from the cops or commit crime that would change. Sooner or later cops are going to hurt someones feelings in the process of an arrest or traffic stop. In 52 yrs of being on this Earth, not once have I been harassed by cops and I have been all over this world. Being a law abiding citizen is not a hard to do.

Though I concur with your sentiment, cops, though mostly reasonable, are largely unintelligent, uneducated brutes and can occasionally behave brutally. For example, I have been ticketed for riding a bicycle through a stop sign, for riding it outside of a "bike lane", for yielding a green light to an oncoming cop cruiser (who tried to get me in a fist fight afterwards). Fortunately, judges in court (eg:
Judge Jeff Weil) overturn stupid behavior of Neanderthal cops.

There are some less than bright police officers. However, that is true of many other lines of work. Regardless, I am thankful to have all of them and wish JPD had the money to upgrade quality and increase quantity.

Here's an idea. When you get stopped by the police, pull over immediately and be polite and cooperative. Works for me every time. Cop has never laid a hand on me, or much less had to shoot.

Anonymous said...

7:27, you're right. People do need to know the CCID boundaries.

This traffic stop happened a third of a mile outside it, and Capitol Police have zero jurisdiction there. Good luck bringing this case before a judge.

lol 10:44 trolled all you noobs. He was being sarcastic. Whoooooooooosh

10:27, I can agree with you that some cops should not have the power they do. Two things I learned from my time in the military, 1. Some people just want to watch society burn and 2. Some people should never be charge of other human beings.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
