Former JPD Officers Indicted

 A Hinds County grand jury indicted three former Jackson police officers for second degree murder and manslaughter in the death of Keith Murriel. 

Flanked by Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba and the JPD brass, District Attorney Jody Owens announced the indictments at a press conference this afternoon.  

The grand jury indicted Avery Willis and Kenya McCarty for second degree murder and James Land for manslaughter.  This is not the first or second time McCarty has had a brush with The Law.

Just as every cop is a criminal

So basically JPD kept a known criminal with a badge on the force and a man died because of it?

JPD numbers will continue to drop. At some point the Capital Police will be the only viable law enforcement agency in Jackistan.

Count on it: This mayor will get tough on crime.... When his own police force is involved.

Jody and Antar continues to harass police while Robbers, Rapist, and Killer destroy Hinds County.
2 words, Jody Ownes SMART JUSTICE
Jody thanked the mayor for being transparent, while nothing has been done in the K. Sanders case by D.A. Ownes.

If you're talking about Keyshia Sanders she pled guilty back in January.

Total B.S., Does anybody know a good realtor in Rankin, or Madison county?

The JPD walk into unfriendly situations (like I did during the Viet Nam war), and we turn our backs on them. Bull Shit.

This is freaking wrong to be released before trial. To hell with Jackson who allows their Mayor a Free ride on water, sewage, crime with zero accountability. Why does he deserve 24 hr security at His gated community but yet others wait after crimes were committed on Brecon Hill Dr? Yes Chokweis full of his bloated ego and JODY too. When you have a BLUE OUT with no one to answer your calls call JODY and CHOKWE in their tax paid for cars!

Lying Lumumba answered the question as to whether this had to do with the timing of Chief Davis' retirement quite well; told his lie in a way that wouldn't have even recorded a blip on a pulse meter.

But at least he chose to wore a shirt and sober up for this news conference; guess the extra days following the big weekend at 4th Avenue had a chance to wear off.

Funny this all comes after Lumumba forced Davis out at Chief. Looks like the Chief was standing in the way of Lumumba getting the indictments he wanted on these offices.

Especially being the victim in this incident is related to Ward 4 Councilman Brian Grizzell and Vincent Grizzell who is with JPD and serves on the mayor’s personal detail squad. Lumumba has some "backs to scratch" and had a personal vendetta on these officers and made sure they got indicted.

How TF is he not in jail yet??????

This shocks all sensibilities said...

Tazing someone 80 times is shocking I tell you, shocking.

Anonymous said...

Wait a minute, how many officers were on scene? A Tazer battery won’t last beyond a few good sustained pops, they do carry backup batteries but still for for 80 pops

Look at the videos on WLBT.com. Police officers of average size were attempting to cuff a large, strong dude who resisted arrest and was evidently under the influence of something.

So does he want to be known as Mayor Chief Lamumba or Chief Mayor Lamumba?
Everyone knows that "Interim Chief" is just a prop man.

So let me get this straight. Lawyer Mayor holds a press conference following an indictment - where individuals are constitutionally innocent until proven guilty - to throw these officers under the bus, basically admit liability, and expose the City to lawsuits.

However, when a high school girl hits an open manhole and dies, it's complete crickets from Mr. Transparency who apparently is able to volunteer information and admit fault.

The agenda here is clear.

I am not typically pro-union, but JPD desperately needs a police union. These officers are getting trampled by this administration.

@8:35, I call BS on your serving in Vietnam. What was your unit, when, and where?

Nothing like the mayor influencing potential jurors. A real lawyer would not do that. Right?

Haven’t watched the video

Did he really get tased 80 times? Much less more than say 10?

Any idea if they did a toxicology test in him to see if he way on spice or something crazy?

Tell us how much meth or other drugs he had in his blood stream?
Tell us if he had any cardio problems?
Tell us why he didn't comply?
Tell us why the liberals are not held responsible for their rhetoric about being hostile & resisting the police.
Recall ChokeWay Lying Lumumba.

Why would anyone work for JPD? How many times has the city thrown then under the bus?

Anonymous said...

But according to Mayor Transparency, it's Capitol Police that has the problem with being too forceful.. right?

Where is Ben Crump?

Don't Tase me Bro' said...

"80 times" is absolute bull shit. This implies that he got hit with the probes 80 times. Tasers rapidly cycle with shocks, faster than you can count.

Shock-Way loves hammering the police.

The Mayor of Jackson must be getting kickbacks from the lawyers who represent
The family of the deceased because he saying the Officers are guilty without giving them a trial.
I be glad when the Feds place a pair of PINK handcuffs on his lying tail.

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.
