More examples of the perception of violent crime. Maybe a focus group will help, right Dr. Chief? Maybe hiring a progressive chief of staff from out west? Balloon release? Town hall?
I think we should organize a march against gun violence down Capitol Street....they always seem to be effective .
Ben, Rev Al, where are you. These are actual murders of black people.
Next
No white people with a positive net worth or municipal bank account involved to make it lucrative.
How many more today? It’s hot and folks will be drinking liquor.
WLBT has taken down their homicide tracker. Count getting too high?
Time for a balloon release.
Want to be Chief, karma is real. Degrading your police staff is certainly not cool. You got what you got and if you were all that and a bag of chips, you wouldn't be desperate for a job and most definitely in Jackson MS. Mayor Horhn reminder what has happened to Joedi and his bunch of followers. Don't take any kickbacks on those data center proposals not even a free meal or bottle of booze. Jackson won't rise until you clean up this filthy town.
Dang in 10 years if the killing keep going we won’t need JPD. The city will be patrolled by night watchman cause it won’t be feasible to pay Police for less that 1000 residents
If WLBT bailed on the tracker due to pressure from Horhn and/or RaShall then the WLBT news department isn't a journalistic effort worthy of its role as a member of the fourth estate.
Jackson Mississippi is lost!
When I went to Wlbt.com and clicked on Jackson homicides it came up password

Dr Chief is finding out she landed in a pile of felonious murdering crap.
Hope the lease on her gated house was 6 months.
Where is the media and Ben Crump for Camari Givens, Keyana and Erica Weathersby & these recent murders. No national outrage for these lives? Don’t all lives matter. No more Tyler Perry movies for me!
The truth is not poplar in the world we live in today. So much coverup and false narratives. We used to find some measures of truth and integrity in the church but it's almost none existent. The truth about the violence and homicide is what it is. It's sad and discouraging especially when things seemed to be improving. Delaying delivery makes you look bad when social media has already reported. Leadership is not for the faint at heart. Nor should it be a platform for bullying and self enrichment. Wlbt owners shame on you if you bow down to the pressure of assisting in hiding the truth. To the few loyal soldiers who try to bring good change don't give up but don't die trying either. Superintendent Green please get out of the way and allow someone who is serious about the business of caring about the welfare of the teachers and students. You get your big paycheck and go home to peace while some of the caring teachers who can barely afford gas to get to work struggle to provide basic needs for their students such as food, deodorant, and school supplies. If you weren't so selfish and self centered you'd know what was really going on. I wonder what fake words you spit out when teachers return this week. Lord please help us 🙏.
Tracker back on wlbt website.
But still removed from availability via the main menu.
Winner ^^^
The most recent data analysis of major U.S. cities highlighted the following rankings:
Jackson, MS: 53.02 homicides per 100,000 residents
St. Louis, MO: 50.05 homicides per 100,000 residents
Birmingham, AL: 43.80 homicides per 100,000 residents
Baton Rouge, LA: 42.55 homicides per 100,000 residents
Not to be proud, but at least we are good at something.
If that's supposed to represent this year, your math is completely wrong.
New JPD admin chart will be heavy female centric and accompanied with less masculine men. JPD is in a spin cycle of social justice and a self righteous political agenda . Kudos to Espy and Horhn. Dr. Chief will get her merit badge. Folks just got to make sure they do not offer insight from local years of experience or she will put her finger in your face and repeat herself and say “I know it’s Mississippi and yall alittle slow” Maybe Antar can do community service shining the Dr. Chief’s Ph.d labeled parking space.
Some things make these guys money on the national level, some don’t.
