Assistant JPD Chief Vincent Grizzell is being forced out and is not too happy about it. WLBT reported:
After more than 32 years of service, the second-in-command of the Jackson Police Department said he’s being forced out, citing unnamed political reasons. Jackson Assistant Police Chief Vincent Grizzell confirmed to WLBT on Wednesday that he was stepping down, and that his last day would be on February 9. Had he chosen not to retire, Grizzell says he would have been demoted to the rank of lieutenant, his highest civil service-tested rank. “It’s a sad day because I can’t serve and protect the people of this city anymore,” he said. Grizzell believes he was being demoted for political reasons, despite having a clean record and uninterrupted years of service. He did not, however, elaborate on specifics related to the demotion. Police Chief Tyree Jones declined to comment, saying it was a personnel matter. However, he said that as of now, Grizzell is assistant chief. Article.
Kingfish note: Good move by the Horhn administration. Grizzell was a known Lumumba stooge. While he complains about his demotion, he seems to forget his bunch did the same thing to Sheriff/JPD Tyree Jones when Lumumba ran Chief Lee Vance out of JPD. Yup. Jones, White, McGowan were almost immediately demoted and replaced with the likes of Grizzell and Robinson.

Good riddance. You had long enough. Go complain to someone that cares
I’m glad he’s going.
Lumumba=bad juju.
Grizzell says he would have been demoted to the rank of lieutenant, his highest civil service-tested rank.
Big part of your problem right here. These people talk like uneducated fools plus they arent even qualified/certified for the jobs they are politically promoted into.
Sucks to suck.
I don't want to jinx it, but there hasn't been a homicide in Jackson in two weeks.
Is he related to the City Council president?
Can he take Pudgy with him?
So, despite all his hollow talk about wanting to serve and protect, he jams the exit. Maybe Rukia needs some help passing out bottled water.
It's called reaping what you sow. He needs to take his brother with him!
Thanks for the commentary KF.. very helpful to those of us who did not know!
Maybe in Jackson, Wyoming.
"Clean record and uninterrupted service" doesn't translate to competence, effectiveness, real leadership, and respect from the rank and file. AMF.
All that means is that the victims didn't die.
Brother man doesn't like cold weather!
So when did Watts stop being assistant chief?
What goes around, comes around. If I'm not mistaken, wasn't he on Lumumba's security detail? Aka he traveled with him while he was sleazin' around.
He still is. They have more than one.
Womp womp womp.
Yes, he was on security detail for the wanna be celebrity and probably participated in the "activities ." Sleeping with devil doesn't pay off. Grizzell, was losing your soul worth it?
Vincent Grizzell should have been gone years ago. He has attached himself to administration after administration to rise through the ranks. He was a lackey for Chokwe and used Hondo to her his way.This is addition by subtraction. Go have a Winekein with those French Cries.
Have to give you props for the Joe Dirt pull. Well played, sir.
Who the hell is "Brother man"? Always some racial bs.
Brothers
He needs to just take his PERS and shut the fuck up. Show him the door and lock it tight behind his ass.
