Jackson Jambalaya

This wont end well for hoodlums in coming days-

Here's an alternate headline:

The Nation of Jackson to be invaded by occupying forces of the state.

Will Antar make them all wear masks?

Lip Service for the masses. This does nothing about the actual trouble areas of the city. Also Capitol Police is where Police go to fatten their 13th check. Also, very interesting that no member of the city council was apart of this.

Also, this does nothing because if Jackson already doesn't have a jail, where are you going to put these people.

Just like I thought. No one was invited.

Depends. If they really work Hwy 80 and 51, that could help. That Cedars of Lebanon-Northside-Meadowbrook stretch is pretty rough.

2:34 Yes, Homeless white people walking around. This does nothing for the actuaal neighborhoods.

If they just work traffic patrol speeding etc, they would likely arrest half of Jackson. Nobody has a a valid license or insurance.

As this was announced a multi-jurisdictional force of Hinds, Rankin and Madison County law enforcement were investigating an incident on Dewitt Street off Bailey Avenue. Response with an overwhelming force is the key to reducing crime. It seems that JPS ride around in their cars and seldom get out to interact with citizens.

Receivership. Step Two.

2;34 ......cause all the black homeless folks make their bank downtown around the county , city and state offices. MHP will do very little to curb what's currently wrong in Jackson. We have 2 generations of kids both black and white who have ZERO give a fuggs about you me or anyone else.

So has anyone asked why the mayor and the city council clowns weren’t there?

If nothing else it will free up the few cops JPD has for those neighborhoods. Sounds like Lumumba hasn't agreed to any of this - not that it matters and not that he ever would.

By having the MHP and Capitol Police be able to ride rough shot over their jurisdiction which is the Ms. Hwys and Interstates that run thru the Capital and the Capital City improvement district (which they were not allowed to do before) will allow the depleted JPD to put more presence in the other areas instead of having to be in the above as much. that improvement area is pretty large. So i feel they fixing to kick some ass!

Clown Town.

"Depends. If they really work Hwy 80 and 51, that could help. That Cedars of Lebanon-Northside-Meadowbrook stretch is pretty rough."

I grew up there. worst thing you had to worry about was getting stung by a bumblebee. The problems are intractable. It will never get better. And will get much worse. See SA. We are racing to the cliff.

Can’t get more than 8 people to vaccinate in MS…..

Tate turns to something he knows is popular….law and order!

Now let the MHP arrest some hoodlums in jacktown …take them downtown and watch them get processed and released

Nice photo op though…..he looks really cool up there

You better find a place to put people once arrested. That's the problem right now, no room at the inn.

"MHP units will operate "saturation patrols" on all interstates and state highways in Jackson. MHP issued 87 traffic tickets and made 14 DUI arrests since July 1 in Jackson."

and THAT's ^^^ no solution at all.
Passing our speeding tickets to us doesnt help fix the crime problem...but thats surely what they'll do.

Love seeing the cops sit under I55 jxn bridges during commute time...gotta make sure to nail the people who actually work and therefore can pay the ticket.

Follow the money.

Doubt they will arrest many. Just write a ticket and give the folks their blue toilet paper. You don't really think they'll show up in Justice Court as all MHP Tickets go through the Justice Court not Municipal.

They can arrest as many people as they want and it will not change a thing until the activist clown judges are replaced with people that think murder is not a misdemeanor.

how is the remainder of the state gonna be protected. There are roughly 600 Troopers state wide. Gonna bring them all to Jackson? what?

Stop and Frisk can double down on Jackson shooters: take their illegal/stolen guns and arrest for felony possession.

No cop can intervene just in time to prevent hot headed homicide, but if a street savage is disarmed, unarmed, charged and either in jail or out on bond, the target of their wrath is safer.

So surprise these suspicious looking killers when they're carrying and strip their illegal/stolen pistols.

Personally I don't mind being wanded or patted down (usually at airports), especially if it deflates a cop's suspicions.

"you gonna have to do it the Chicago way! They send one of yours to the hospital you send one of theirs to the morgue!"

"Holy Drill Instructor hats Batman it the MHP."

downtown Jackson isn't the problem..

and 3:03 is right. its the 2nd step in multiple as the state moves in and solves the jackson problem

“All roads, all codes” (if you are White)
“That’s not our jurisdiction” (if you are black)

I going to detox from JJ, this shit is getting old

My goodness. My, my, my goodness.

Have we learned absolutely nothing about the leftist Democrat strategies?

Seriously; somebody please forward this post to the Governor.


Subjecting any White Mississippi Highway Patrol Officers to the risk of arresting black criminals is an absolute disaster waiting to happen; and everybody should know why.

There is absolutely no upside to making this move; and the downside risk is riots…and another George Floyd statue.

In a City of 20 Percent White want to guess what percent of Highway Patrol are Black and what percent of tickets are given to White people? 80/20 Rule must be in force here. Yes, to reduce crime, Black Highway Patrol are writing white people tickets. You can't make this up, unless I just did.

4:53 Stop and Frisk is an extremely easy way to catch a Civil Rights violation, especially since the Open Carry laws are so lax. Scale back open carry, and you can actually do that more. Until then, nada.

If the City of Jackson becomes “the ward of the state” do Baby Chok and “Big Stroke” keep their jobs?
I mean they should be fired for gross incompetence, right?

The MHP says every year that they are short staffed so how can they send men into help. There aren’t enough capital police to help much either.

This is nothing but a "WE CARE" publicity stunt to make it kook like the Gov. and the state care about Jackson's crime problems.

@6:21
MHP just added MDOT Law Enforcement to their roster by decree of the legislature and the very same governor.

Y’all are about to see, if you didn’t know already, that MHP isn’t in the business of real law enforcement. Tickets and wrecks aren’t going to help Jackson. If they get drugs they call MBN. MBN and Capitol Police can help but it’s the same judicial system. Unless of course MBN can get the cases to go federal. The problem is the judicial system and no jail space…. Carry on… nothing to see here.

MHP posturing to ask legislature for another "class" of troopers
That is all

The problem is not law enforcement. It is the mayor and derelict judges. Sadly, this will ultimately be futile window dressing.

I don't think you have any idea how the 13th check works, sport.

"The MHP says every year that they are short-staffed so how can they send men into help. There aren’t enough capital police to help much either."

Exactly!

So in other words, the state is sending help to only secure the section of town they have interest in. The rest of the city be damned. Just like drilling for well water at the fairgrounds when south Jxn is still on buckets. Oh, I got it.

This is ridiculous. I hope not one single penny of my tax dollars goes towards this. The best solution for Jackson is to move the state capital and let them just kill each other off. Other than lawyers and a few banks are there actually any businesses left in downtown anyway?

MHP is limited in jurisdiction. It's not a state police as in other states.

The Capitol police is limited to Capitol complex. It only arrested 20 people last year and half of those were at the fair. It arrested 6 in 2019. When you ask each agency why so few arrested, JPD and CP blame each other

David Archie was spot on re turning Metro Center into a jail, although his economic impact was somewhat skewed (bail bondsmen eating in area restaurants).
And JPD officers need to lay off the donuts. From the news videos, they couldn't outrun a turtle.

Capital Police covers JSU to 55 and to UMMC to the north.

1,000 extra LEOs won't help much if the progressive, bleeding-heart, racist, less-'em-loose Jackson judges won't perform their sworn duties.

I thought highway patrol had jurisdiction on any public road in Mississippi, at least that’s what I think statute says.

I’m not so sure that Chokwheat is going to like outside cops coming into his kingdom to harass his peeps. But it is a win-win situation for Reeves. He has let loose more police in the Jackson area to stop crime and the DPS will bring in revenue in the form of speeding tickets and DUI’s arrests. I kinda don’t understand just how having the MHP write more tickets and removing drinking drivers from the highway will reduce the violent crime that plague’s Jackson. Perhaps if enough tickets are written those that commit these crimes won’t be able to afford firearms. Yeah, that’s it.

Well I appreciate the governor for work with what he has to work with. Chockwe has avoided or refused help and we have got to do somethng. This is a start. Reclaim Jackson make people feel safe, work on the roads, and people will shop and come here again.

No mention of the unthankful press release from the mayor last night where he said more cops won’t solve the problem?

It's an interesting development. A little surprising, but it shouldn't be unexpected. The Gov had to do something. His hand was forced. MHP running radar inside the city limits will help, not much probably, but it will help. Giving the capitol police a real mission, beside security guard type work, will help as well. Having the CP deploy in numbers, inside the capitol district, could free JPD to work the outlining areas. IF it's coordinated properly. IF the HCSO is called in to assist as well, that will help. IF the feds could be dealt in this game, more will improve. IF all law enforcement works off the same arrest protocols, and has the same pursuit policies, this could actually work to improve life in Jackson.
That's a lot of IFs though.

If MHP aggressively works Hwy 80, that could help. There are probably quite a few people with warrants on that stretch. Roadblocks could help.

I was wrong about 51. Apparently Dale took it from the state when he was Mayor so Jackson is responsible for all of it within the city limits, including law enforcement.

Of course Antard had to release a sour grapes statement.

Don't worry.

Choke: The Governor is not addressing the root of the problem.

So mayor, what exactly is the "root of the problem?" and how should Tate make parents raise decent children with morals?

And why haven't you, as mayor, addressed this problematic "root" during your leadership?

Choke should just say, thank you.

Chokwe Lumumba = petulant child.

People bitch when nothing is done and now they bitch that this will not help. Anything is better than status quo. It's a start...shut up if you can't say anything constructive.

@9:08 as always with the Mayor, big government is the answer to all that ails society. if only they could have more money for this failed experiment or the next thing the narrative pushes.

Why can't he just graciously accept the help and form a partnership with the State? We all benefit with a thriving capital- Jackson residents and MS residents.

I recon the governor should have sent in the department of mental health crises prevention SWAT team. Their crack team of conflict resolution professionals will have this sorted out in no time. Maybe this would be more to the sultan of Jackson's liking.

The mayaah will take a massive PR hit if it appears the white governor has help a black mayor in Mississippi.

"I kinda don’t understand just how having the MHP write more tickets and removing drinking drivers from the highway will reduce the violent crime that plague’s Jackson. "

It won't. But thanks to the hoodrat jackwagons who thought it would be cool to shut I-55 North to a halt to pop wheelies in the damn freeway, now we all have to watch out for extra blue lights on our daily commutes within Jxn.

Here is a prediction....
The MHP which is staffed with some of the best LEOs in the country will not ignore crimes taking place. They will engage and will not be scared to defend themselves. This will lead to several shootings that will not doubt be addressed as a big bad mean Trooper killing poor little momma's boy that had a 9mm in his possession. I feel for these Troopers, damned if you do damned if you don't.

So patrolling working people on 55 is going to keep down crime? This is what happens when you make a bank teller a Governor!

WLBT - July 13
"It seems we may have to wait a while until Jackson city leaders reveal a complete crime plan to address rising violence in the Capital City. On Monday, Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba said he had “talked enough” when asked if any crime fighting tactics had been implemented in the last six months. Other city council members we talked to say they’ve been holding conversations on how to get a handle on the violence."

Violent crime should not be a recently-added topic to the agenda at council meetings. When does talk turn to action? They clearly have no idea what to do, but do not want outside help, either. Meanwhile, Rome burns...

Why would you slap the hand of those you asked to come in & help you unless you're a special kind of stupid?
Thanks LaDumba

I appreciate what the State is trying to do here and I hope it helps. I would have to add that highway crime and urban crime are two different things. Don't expect a miracle but I do appreciate the effort.

There may be a bigger plan in place here. Is it possible MHP is going to herd the crime back into the city and put it all back on the leaders of the city? If MHP is given the opportunity that is what will happen. It's an excellent idea even though some in the city would call it diabolical. If the mayor doesn't get to work the nation of Jackson may become the "state" of Jackson.

MHP blue lights were fully operational on the commute up 220 this morning. There were at least 4-5 vehicles pulled over. I will have to mean 10 minutes earlier now since traffic will be a little more packed.

The only benefit coming from this will be more tickets written to suburban drivers as they speed into and out of Jackson. We can't install toll booths but we can sure enforce speeding laws on tags that start with an M.

It looks like, as one bozo called him, governor bank teller, has out maneuvered the great sultan of Jackson. The optics of this move makes governor bank teller appear strong on crime, while simultaneously causing the great sultan to appear impotent. This is not expected to go over well in the newsroom. Word has leaked that the Clarion Ledger intends to call this one of the most racist moves in Mississippi history.

Jackson and Hinds County needs help! Why complain about help! No one will be abused, arrested or harassed. Any Law Abiding person will willingly accept assistance.

Stop playing the race card, act accordingly and abide by the law, end of discussion. Good work Governor Reeves.(I can’t believe I just said that).

Let's get the positives out in regards to this new initiative. First things first, with MHP kicking up patrol on I-55, I-20, and I-220 - along with MBN picking up investigations in the city, that's one less thing and place for JPD having to deal with and one less location they have to be at. It gives them the opportunity to focus on other areas that do not receive the same attention.

Here's where Tate f*cked up, as usual. How the hell do you have a press conference about kicking up law enforcement in Jackson, but don't even invite local law enforcement, the mayor, or city council to stand next to you!? It just sets a bad precedent, when we are already such a divided community.

The other thing that did not go over so well, was Tate's point about people getting bail? The other was Sean Tindall talking as if he was living in Virden Addition while he was a judge in Jackson.

I'll give Reeves credit for doing what Fordice, Barbour, and Bryant would NEVER do.

But he did a poor job in the presentation.

Tate had to do something ...if nothing except for political reasons.
(And he really did outsmart Antard)


This is not a job for the National Guard ... yet.

Anyway, this is not a long term solution.

I predict MSNBC & CNN will have trucks in Jackson covering
some kind of fantasy "systemic racism" arrest by the MHP within two weeks.

If they'll just help secure the areas occupied by State government and the hospitals it will be fine with me. There's nothing that can be done for the rest.

2:23 Fuck the presentation, let’s go to work! Get these habitual law breaking fools off the streets.

Disagree

Presentations for measures such as this set the tone, its where people buy in.

If messaging wasn't important - companies wouldn't have communications and/or marketing departments.

But if MHP/Capital Police steps up and flex's its new muscle. It will make a difference.

Begging your pardon sir, but it wouldn't have mattered who was used by governor bank teller, it will be turned into a racist event. It cannot appear that the white bank teller was making a move that would indicate racial harmony. That would really make the sultan appear weak. The sultan, of the most radical city, cannot, under no circumstances, appear to need the white man's assistance. Now, the white man's money is a different matter.

It really depends on the news cycle as to how the mockingbird media will broadcast it. At PMSNBC the peacock's feathers are always up to spread some juice racism. At the Communist News Network, they will have Brian Alka-Seltzer crying about the inhumanity of it all. Then we have our local journalist, I can't believe I typed that with a straight face.

1035… MHP know virtually nothing about real law enforcement, if it hurts it’s because it’s true. If they do anything they are likely to get prosecuted by the Hinds DA.. good luck
