Some are more equal than others, according to George Orwell. Such a truism applies today, even in Jackson.
After roasting Kim Wade, I left and turned onto Spillway Road near Grant's Ferry Road and drove towards Madison County. What appeared in the rear-view mirror but several pairs of flashing blue lights that curiously were not speeding as if they were in pursuit. When I stopped at the red light where Spillway intersects Lakeshore, the whole caravan flew by with a JPD SUV in the lead followed by two blacked out SUV's, a blacked out large truck, and a JPD cruiser. They all had their hazard lights on as well.
They proceeded to drive through red lights as they repeatedly ignored the rules of the road. Yours truly caught up to them on Spillway and here we go.

TK-421, why aren't you at your post?
When you gotsta go, you gotsta go!
None other than baby Chok!!
You see this quite a bit on Friday nights during football season when HS Teams go to and from games in school buses.
I guess JPD has no shortage of officers if they can ride around Ridgeland and Flowood as shopping bag holders.
Thanks again for reaffirming my decision to not live in the most dangerous city in the USA.
This was a waste of a post. Unless you have more information to provide this was a complete waste.
Maybe JPD convoy was picking up the Mayor’s Detroit legal team!
I swear I do not understand why a mayor of a city the size of Jackson, MS, would need guards and a security detail?? Did Harvey Johnson and Yarber have all of this shit? This guy parades himself like he is a head of state or dignitary, hes the MAYOR or Jackson
11:34, maybe you just need to be more selective about what you read. I found the post interesting and it gave me a little more insight into a certain narcissistic public official.
Thank you for this post. Always nice to call questionable things like this out and very interesting.
If Chockwe thinks he is too big to serve time, he should talk to Ray Nagin.
In high school we would sneak up and stick a sign on the back of some poor boob saying "kick me". Why doesn't JPD understand that anything outside the city limits saying "Jackson" means the same thing. Move on.
Salty Chokbaby voter perhaps?
KF it would have been funnier if you'd been playing Men At Work's "Who Can It Be Now?" instead of color commentary.
Chowke is Christmas shopping. The pickup is needed to haul the presents.
Ridgeland you say? You know Chok doesn't "stay" at that house off Old Canton.
Damn! Who does the mayor think he is, one of Lane Kifffen's top tranfer recruits? Jeez.
If they are operating outside of their jurisdiction, then file a complaint.
If a certain someone takes that ride to federal prison, maybe they'll run the lights for him - one last time.
Chokwe on the Rez? Must have been looking for another yacht.
And yet a waste of a post is worth the time to comment. Most peculiar I say.
I'm going to say this to the "I don't give a fuck what you say, you're still wrong" crowd. As a police officer, there were times I blew lights with no emergency lights on. There were times when I exceeded the speed limit with no emergency lights on. There were police-business-related fucking reasons for them that the average civilian doesn't think about and / are aren't aware of. Unfortunately, there are officers that put themselves above the law, with which my previously mentioned reasons do not pertain to. The moral of the story is, y'all don't know which ones of them are applying the business rule or the "I'm above the law" rule but that's life. So mind your damned business and don't question circumstances that you aren't aware of. Busy bodies.
As a successful African American Civil Rights leader, this protection is required in Rankin and Madison. Nobody believed in the goon squad until they were exposed. Bailey is still in power. I wouldn’t expect any of you priviledged white boys to understand.
Prolly just the CEO of BCBS-MS
This implies that Lumumba attended the roast - probably not as a presenter since Kim Wade is running against Antar for mayor. But was the mayor there? What else would he have been doing in the vicinity at that time of night?
Sound like a JPD officer salty about being the mayor's bag boy.
The word on the street is, well my street, ok my driveway, is the Chowke was surveilling the roast to see who is supporting Kim Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaade.
"successful African American Civil Rights leader"
This is a fascinating statement. Please explain in detail and cite references.
Chockwe is no longer relevant and on the way to pay the price. Probably some other irrelevant figure with an equally large head.
Was Chowke on a yacht on the Rez meeting with some potential investors again? He is sharp as a marble, right?
When they hit and kill someone zooming through lights like they are rock stars, maybe you'll sing a different tune.
“As a successful African American Civil Rights leader.” That is comedy gold.
You want to see police officers breaking the law by speeding? Be around HWY 468 and Highway Patrol Academy on Monday mornings! I’ve lived in the area a long time. They apparently have a meeting on Monday mornings, and will pass you like you got engine trouble to get there. I’ve seen it many, many times. I’ve been passed on Bethal Road by Highway Patrol easily going 70 mph.

They certainly weren't headed back to Jackson turning north from Lake Harbor onto Rice Road and likely heading north on Old Canton. They certainly weren't headed to I-55.
@6:15 PM - No. You don’t own anyone anymore.
He missed his turn to the yacht club.
3:47 was probably reported several times for blowing through red lights in order to get to the donut store while the “hot” light was on. Now he’s got the redass for people like those who reported him.
3:47 never paid attention to legal instructions or in service refresher. There is no defense for operating recklessly and causing injury or death, especially without clear exigencies and lights AND siren. Maybe weak and corrupt Hinds prosecutors will not charge you but you probably will be terminated for violating department guidelines. And there are dozens of current and retired LEOs and attorneys on this blog. You ain’t special, son. Fools who confuse detail assignments with impunity find out. Ask some Goon Squad heroes or Bernie Keric. And KF this is not the first year this has happened in that area. Duly noted.
@December 14, 2024 at 1:11 AM - What a snappy comeback. I've never "owned" anyone and you've never been "owned" by anyone. Still waiting on those references, though.
Man you guys got more than trolled in these comments, more like "trotlined" given the reservoir setting of the story. Actually it was Chowke with the Kush Kapitol Koppers (I won't do the acronym for you) that had a "mole" wearing a "wire" attend the roast. Chowke and his operatives "listened in" via radio transceiver from the parking lot at the Sonic.
This is a common discourtesy that the Jackson administration displays in other jurisdictions. It's unrecognized privilege that is both unnecessary and dangerous. Not even the Governor of MS travels in this manner in routine. And to the civil rights attorney, law enforcement in these jurisdictions have every right and obligation to stop and cite this caravan, unless Jackson specifically asked for the courtesy of traveling in those jurisdictions in this manner. There is a park ranger that would have had fun with that detail.
Does not this apply?
