The Chief better get in gear, things are getting frisky.
Deceased and succumbed used in the same sentence, not to mention more than one hole too!
Fortunately it wasn't on Crestview Street or the body will still be lying in the street.
Next
Homicide is alive and well under the new COJ administration.
I'm sure all of this crime will stop when the new DEI chieftess of police starts, all Jackson needs is some equity and restorative justice.
Some people live in an alternate reality. No amount of law enforcement or laws can stop these types of people.
Will the new chiefette bring diversity, equity, and inclusiveness to Jackson's murders and attempted murders. Asking for Rukia.
