Complete disregard for human life and law enforcement. Jackson, we have some “Difficult Days” ahead of us.

YES!
Justice!
Glad the officer survived.
Too bad this one lived to burden the criminal justice system.
The only good armed robber/carjacker is a DEAD armed robber/carjacker!

Strange how long it took them to release this statement. Also, Why isn't shooting at someone attempted murder? What is the difference in potential prison time for attempted murder vs aggravated assault?

"The officer's name is being withheld for his safety"

That tells me all I need to know. Jackson needs a gang taskforce.

Whichever Dude picked the car to jack is probably no longer on good terms with his partner. Although I’m sure he didn’t know it was a PD vehicles it shows how brazen they have become

Over/under on finding out of either of the two carjackers had priors and was let out by one of our fine social justice judges?

Wow! Even the police are not safe in this town.

Thank you, JPD and thankful the officer was not seriously wounded.
This is what these thieves deserve. Sadly, this type of setup needs to be all over Jackson, especially in Highland Village and surrounding NE Jackson businesses and Fondren. There's just so much that private security can do. Keep it up and send the clear, strong message that there will be arrests and prosecution (if you survive!) Make sure the judicial system is on board in keeping repeat offenders LOCKED UP!

Let’s all remember that our legislature last year lowered the sentencing for carjacking. Since we have a super majority of Republicans in both Houses, the democrats didn’t have any say. Libertarians have taken over the Mississippi Republican led legislature and we all suffer.

As Kim Wade always says, Friday is when the Jackson Gun and Knife Club begins in earnest. Time to do the belt buckle crawl when 6pm strikes.

Tune into him at 103.9 WYAB FM.

These officers need to be armed with more powerful weapons. Not enough of these thugs succumbing.

uhhhh, here's your sign!

Dumb sumabitch tried to rob/jack a damn cop!

He got exactly what he deserved. BUT, let this serve as a prime example of why you need a gun.

That is all.

Great job JPD! Thanks for your service.

Interesting scenario: did perp see u.c.cop before opening door, was intent to jack the car, was it a hot ride to steal, what kept #2 perp from driving off, was arrest of both made by the single u.c.cop, will perps claim they were unfairly baited?

The daily perception of violent crime, right? Movers are coming next week and we are moving out of Jackson to a much safer area - Syria.

Great police work, which I assume included a call to the station as the officer saw what was unfolding. The officer could have taken the perp's head off immediately, but did not fire until fired upon. The officer came out physically unharmed. Other officers arrived and they nailed two criminals.

Man oh man, what we could get done to calm things down around here if we had another 150 cops. And more jail space.

This episode gives a new meaning to "situational awareness."

A Glock 20 in 10mm is an extremely powerful handgun. Most officers still prefer the more manageable recoil of 9mm in a Glock 17.

A friend living at old North Hill Square Apt next to Batte Furniture recently had her car & a neighbors car stolen the same night. Apartment Management was supposed to close security gates at nightfall but didn’t. Security cameras were not working. Management knew that young kids were roaming the apartments late at night but made no attempt to stop them. I guess the multi-million dollar renovation of this complex is down the drain as the teenage thief’s are allowed to move in and chase the law abiding tenants out. Not long before it’s thrashed or abandoned like south Jackson.h

Jacksonian Plaza...is that the Kroger on I-55?

Jacksonian Plaza, like the rest of Jackson, has gone to the thugs that inhabit that vile city.

This is the type operation Jackson needs.

The F150 is the perfect bait.

Some of you people are goin go head and say something negative about my comment but I’m my experience being a certain color in the country and specially with the police can get you killed bc your already a target. Doin nothing and they harass you
So let’s let it play out and hopefully the person shot didn’t die for being wrong color. It is Jackson and blacks are discriminated against non stop

Why not attempted murder and armed carjacking????

Anonymous said...

5:14 What an idiotic statement. The perp SHOULD have been shot for attempted carjacking regardless of skin color. What the hell does that have to do with anything when you're breaking the law?

Anonymous said...

The armed carjackers picked the right city and county! Do nothing Jackson and do nothing Hinds County! Attention criminals do not leave the Hinds County lines if you are thinking about committing a crime. If you even think about crossing the Hinds County line to commit a crime. You will not be going home to big mama! Your bond will be too high if you get one! You will not have fun in jail in another county! You will get convicted and sent away, I really mean away!


If Leadership doesn’t care about your safety I would suggest you immediately move to a more safer county where officials care about your welfare!

5:14. Please. Color wasn’t involved. It was opening a strangers car door and threatening them with a firearm. Unfortunately for him it happened to be a cop with a gun. Was he supposed to him him the keys an a couple of twenty for gas.

@ 3:36 (#1) - "The officer could have taken the perp's head off immediately, but did not fire until fired upon."

The law does not require that. You shoot when the threat is real and imminent ("ability, opportunity, jeopardy"), not necessarily after he shoots you dead. VERY poor idea.


@ 3:36 (#2) - "A Glock 20 in 10mm is an extremely powerful handgun."

Uhm, nope. It's a bit more than a .45 ACP and perhaps a bit more than the .357 Magnum, and pretty close to the .44 Special, but less than a big bore magnum like a .41 or .44. So it's "powerful" for a service-sized handgun, but not "extremely" powerful.


@ 5:25 - "Why not attempted murder and armed carjacking????"

Because Mississippi has no crime called attempted murder. There is a statute that covers armed carjacking and attempted armed carjacking. I'm guessing that there isn't enough evidence in this case to support a carjacking charge - perhaps the perp was unaware that the car was occupied, hence the burglary charge.

5:14 Please tell us your theory on WHY you believe police "target" and "harass" blacks in Jackson? Or, based on the tome of your comments, why you believe the police are wrong to do so.

Your response should be instructive.

Anonymous said...

5:14 has to be a troll. There are no whites in authority in Jackson, MS, and that's been the case for over 20 years. If you live here, you know this.

The dysfunction and victimization that's happening in Jackson is black on black. Period.

It seems that blacks consider this acceptable as long as no whites are involved.

When Leadership doesn’t care, why do you think the cops care? A never ending cycle!

With these words, the Mayor can stop this madness! “Enough is enough”!

Mr mayor, your dad would be in tears! You have fucked his name and the city of Jackson up!

It’s time to let a real Leader fight this battle on crime.

Please get out of the way before you get more Jacksonian’s killed with your lackadaisical crime stance!

Put these young fools on notice! And let the Police do their jobs.

According to WAPT certified weather the temperature will range between 90 & 94 during the next 10 days. You are going to see an unbelievable untick in killings. Stay inside. Stay safe. As my good friend Cockweed Lumumba says. Right. Right.

It’s a fact that police target people of color. Nationwide. Mississippi today had several articles on this locally after George Floyd lost his life to being a target for being a person of color. He died remember

The city of Jackson city council president is white republican from NE Jackson why would you say no whites are in charge
Belhaven and Fondren area white city council person Virgi was council president before that

7:14: Bruh I agree with your comment but are you stuck in a time warp?!?! The couple of $20s comment is out of line. The last time I put 40 in the rocket ship it barely got me off empty!! This isn’t 2020 anymore. I mean if we didn’t give up our energy independence last year the 2 20s would have been adequate for a full tank and a couple of 6 packs and still have change in your pocket but nooooo!!! Anyway peace man. Carry on.

I know this may be a stretch, but generally if someone fires a gun at you, unless of course they're trying to slow you down (rarely), isn't that attempted murder? I know, it's a stretch, but I think it should be more than aggravated assault.

Kingfish said...

Actually there is an attempted murder statute in Mississippi.

As an aside, I'd love to hear how increasing/decreasing the potential penalty of a crime deters the criminal behavior. I'll wait...

Anonymous said...

9:28 are you saying that the last 2 whites on city council are to blame for this? Seriously?? Virgi is a Chowke boot licker and the other one does nothing at al!! City council doesn’t have any authority to fight crime, that’s on the mayor and the police!!

Mayor is BLACK.
Police chief is BLACK.
The cops are BLACK.
The Sheriff is BLACK.
The judges are BLACK.
90% of the citizens are BLACK.

You are a troll. There is no way anyone is as idiotic as you sound right now.

Anonymous said...

It’s also a fact that most urban thugs, primarily young people of color, target other people of color to rob and kill. But keep allowing liberal rags like JFP and MT to be your excuse to only blame (white) cops for all the murders in the black community.

Please go read some books about systemic racism and institutional white supremacy.

5:14 City of Jackson is 88% African American so I think common sense that majority of crime in Jackson would be committed by the 88% majority race & law enforcement would police as such. Crime is out of control from murder, robbery & even lesser crimes of dumping thrash & running red lights, speeding & failure to follow other city ordinances.

5:14/9:27/9:28/7:58,

Quit trolling

The white Jacksonians and people of Jackson as a whole probably/hopefully don’t want to hear your arrogant bs.

A lot of people in this city do their own little bit to help this city without being all arrogant about it.

People in this city descend from WW2 vets who fought racist NAZIs and Union soldiers that freed the slaves. They don’t ask for much. They just don’t want to hear arrogant crap from people like you. I guess you enjoy lumping millions of people together based off the actions of .001 percent of them if you aren’t just some unhappy troll. I guess next you can compare all doctors to Dr. Death or some other twisted bs. Go move to some Communist or Socialist country and see how much you like it.

Anonymous said...

This is 7:47, and I stand corrected. There IS a statute covering attempted murder. It's in the generic conspiracy statutes (97-1) instead of in the crimes against the person statutes (97-3). My apologies.

That was a really close call! Glad to hear no officers were injured. We thank them for their service!

July 14, 2022 at 8:32 AM; it appears you're the racist cause you see racism everywhere you look. you tell someone to read some books about systemic racism and institutional white supremacy after they point out that with the exception of two, weak-ass white people on the city council, that the entire power structure in jackson and nearly the entire population of jackson is black. how, in the name of anything that is right, did anything they post come across as racist? did you actually type that with a straight face?

that person posted facts. facts aren't racist. facts are just inconvenient to racists.

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.
