Blue Flu?

There is apparently an outbreak of Blue Flu at JPD today.  Officers were not too happy the City Council gave a raise to rookies while ignoring the veterans.  A dozen officers resigned last week in frustration. 

Community activist Napoleon Edwards announced the bluedemic this morning at a press conference in front of JPD headquarters. 



Will it actually happen? Stay tuned.

I wonder if Shad will recommend they all be fired for striking?

Is Blue Flu something like Swine Flu?

I don't blame them one dammed bit. Shame on that sorry-ass city counsel and the city's "leadership". They've lost their f***in' minds.

Who needs a strong police department when you are living in the most radical city on the planet?

I hope the Blue Flu isn't contagious like covid 19. I did hear the symptoms are a craving for donuts and coffee.

Let them pound sand.

Most JPD officers can’t even pass a GED test.

KingFish,

WAPT just posted at 1:30 PM about the Blue Flu.
You post at 11:36 AM.
You scooped a major newscasting company by 2 hours.
Way to go! Accolades all around.

11:55. he should. a strike is illegal in this state and it’s about time someone stood up to people who are upset with what their employer gives them. they can just find another job. it’s not that hard to do.

JPD officers don't work for the State.
They work for the city.
That moronic professor is a State employee.

Scooped WAPT? All they do is sit around browsing the internet for news. They've never not been scooped.

How much money would it take for one you posters to work at JPD?

I thought so.

Not a matter of what they’re given.... more like what they’re NOT given.

They prob tired of the corrupt Mayor and all his cronies. They should all quit and let Jackson run itself

One critical aspect the mayor and city council has overlooked is the rank-and-file JPD officers know they are not supported or backed by this administration. The pay increase will aid in hiring, but the "best and brightest" still won't want to work for an administration that doesn't support their officers. JPD will continue to languish.

A neighbor was robbed at gunpoint this morning in the parking lot of the Walmart on Hwy. 18 in South/West Jackson. She says JPD's response time was slow, makes sense when fewer officers are on duty.

Employees striking is NOT illegal in this state. Only for state employees. JPD and other municipal employees are under the PERS umbrella for retirement purposes, but, otherwise are not subject to the laws regulating state employees.

JPD LEO are not contract employees, therefore they can be fired for any reason or no reason at all (unless the reason is a violation of federal labor law since we have no state labor department). But, they have Baby Chock by the nut sack as he can't afford to fire anybody.

This world would be fucked without LEOs. You can treat them badly, defund them or indict them but without them every thug out there will be carjacking you and your loved ones or breaking into your home at night.

Thank you for those who serve. Those who don't see how hard it is to be in law enforcement are cowards who have never done shit in their lives.

My dad was a JPD officer back in the 60-70's. I can remember him getting a raise to $3.80 an hour. He also worked other jobs as well. Pumped gas and loaded trucks for the old Campbell 66 trucking company. He somehow managed to raise three boys in doing so. I have no answers for the problems facing JPD of today, most certainly maintaining morale is got to be a hard fought issue.

This policeman offices should come forward and tell the Jackson citizens what is the problem within the Department not coming work is not the answer. I though that ideal in budget was to increase paid for new office come in the never say that the were not going give senior office raises, but the money need to
been in budget.

Police officers speaking or posting to the public about internal issues, without authority, can be fired on the spot.

So was my Dad Mad Money .

There is no doubt in my mind that our Fathers not only knew each other, but worked together.

I'm also willing to bet that I met you and your brothers at the annual JPD Christmas party at the
"training center" ( aka Police Academy) on St. Charles . . . behind Westland Plaza.


Those were great times . . .

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.
