Perfect man for the job. I have know Max for over 15 years.
Ok now....let’s hear it from all of the crybabies at MBN/DPS....
I don’t know Colonel Maxwell but now MBN has bonafide LEO in charge instead of that idiot John Dowdy who never graduated from any law enforcement academy. I hope Colonel Maxwell can clean up Dowdy’s mess.
Maxwell is a good pick. He was never ruined by Dowdy and has competence, job knowledge, sincerity, and humility. Necessary qualities when leading that rogue agency back to the light.
Not a word in all that regarding his stance regarding racial injustices committed by law enforcement. How will he be any different from the rest of the tentacles of institutional white supremacy?
1:24 - There's only one thing that breathes life into the theory of white supremacy - And that is the feeling of black inferiority that has been taught and coached for generations - and that is based on a lie. Nobody is inferior and those who have told you (in church, school, training, employment or the home) is either misleading you based on their ignorance or is outright lying to you for personal enrichment.
Did you bother to check the color of his skin or are you just being an internet tough guy?
@1:24, really? Not EVERYTHING is about race, this is simply and appointment announcement.
Give it a rest...and best of luck to Col. Maxwell.
Looks to me like the era of Feel B and his lackeys may be over; with this replacement at MBN, following the two great appointments to head DPS and MDOC, (not to mention the end of Feel's corruption at MDHS) it appears that Tater intends to clean up those messes and stop them for the future.
Wish him well, but I wonder exactly what good they have been doing lately.
Feel said, on Gallo, yesterday, "My job now is to stay out of the way, but, I used to be a deputy sheriff and it's a good thing I wasn't there when they harassed those people at the convention".
He's Bad-Ass, I'm tellin' y'all!
"He's Bad-Ass, I'm tellin' y'all!"
Don't underestimate the former Guv.
He caries two chainsaws in his truck.
One never knows when a tornado might touch down in Yazoo.
Or at least that's what he told Gallo back in 2009.
Lack of accountability, greed, corruption, incompetence, and generally-bad government seems to flourished mightily on Pheel's watch. Screw him and the horse he rode in on.
And yet Philbilly was given 8 years to govern, despite the "lack of accountability, greed, corruption, incompetence, and generally-bad government."
What does that say about us?
Isn't this the same guy that's been the acting director since Howdy Dowdys been gone? Isn't MBN a total shit show? Same director different day.
Does anyone think this is going to make any difference? Drugs run the County I live in, the 2 counties above, on each side and below. Every Sheriff knows what is going on in his county. Some dealers thrive, some keep getting hit, until they move on. The Tallahatchie Sheriff only got 6 years in a plea deal. Pretty good odds for how long he was in business...
2018
JACKSON, Miss. — Federal authorities say a Mississippi sheriff gave protection for years to a drug dealer who robbed other dealers and kicked back stolen money and drug profits to the lawman.
The illegal partnership began about 15 years ago when Tallahatchie County Sheriff William Brewer — who resigned Tuesday — began helping a then-teenage drug dealer, federal officials allege in a sworn statement .
smdh, col Maxwell won't even let agents work anabolic steroid cases because it will bust other cops. How does he know?
