I truly believe this is a great choice for the city. Let great works begin with new beginnings for the city
This professor will teach "restorative justice'' to those on the force.
The Judges in Hinds County need no information on this topic.
lol
Didn't she sue her previous employer? Didn't she get fired for low morale?
Does she have any experience with youth crime and gangs?
We will see what we all suspect will happen. Nothing changes except for new people getting paid for the job.
Guess they had to pick the best of the worst. What's distressing is anyone desiring to be a chief here with all the problems for chump change salary has to be desperate for a job. We get what we pay for and that's not a lot.
Get out while you can.
She will fit right in here- https://www.phillytrib.com/news/across_america/charlottesville-hired-a-black-police-chief-to-heal-then-it-fired-her/article_c609eef3-c532-508a-a9f3-6a09789176aa.html
Horhn will continue to make poor choices. New boss same as old boss.
Did Lumumba make this pick?

Thanks for your comment, Mr. Horhn.
@9:48 AM thats what i've been sying. Hohrn had the exact same liberal ideology as Chokwe. Different person, same crap.
Old Crotch called it.
Fired from her last job and her lawsuit was thrown out. Makes no sense on this hiring. I was hoping the new mayor was going to change things but this is terrible
Their test is: Would she be acceptable in San Francisco? On the other hand, Jackson, Mississippi needs a kick-ass no bullshit street smart police boss. Or is it too late?
How do male LEOs feel about getting a female classroom ideologue with no street experience for a boss? She seems the type to travel the Convention circuit on Jackson's dime.
How do you not hire Wendell Watts? I mean it is clear as day.
Well SHE checks all the boxes. You also certainly need a phd.(From which online institution?)
Spare us the restorative justice BS mayor. Put the criminals in jail, not back on the streets. Say goodbye to attracting and sustaining new business investment with this liberal gibberish.
How does suing a previous employer make this person unqualified? Organizations with strong ethics are very rare, there may be legitimate reasons for the suing. A local court may have been protecting a local interest (sound familiar?)
Wish all the best, has good credentials but this will be a VERY tough job.
After reading the bio, already know how this will go. It will not.
We've seen this type before. With her arrival will come a flurry of media interviews where she'll exercise her gums and trot out repackaged soundbites in a new orgy of 'perception' management. Here comes the blame gaming of the citizenry (and the metro) that their expectations are too high and their own efforts too meager. No doubt she'll even try to convince that Jackson isn't the per capita leader in murder. (I'd be even willing to bet that she'll find some sort of fault, however strained, with LeMaster's murder tracker.)
Jackson is rising except that its not.
Sadly, qualified or otherwise, I would not be surprised if colorism comes into play here when the community responds.
"Officer Moore, maybe you'll tell us about your most important felony arrest.
I've never made a felony arrest.
Well, maybe you'll tell us about your best misdemeanor arrest, then.
I've never made a misdemeanor arrest either."
I wonder if "white flight" is in her repertoire of woke rhetoric? (Probably) "Race card?" (Probably)
I wonder if she has every put the cuffs on a perp while solo, or if at all? (Probably not)
The local lib media are guaranteed to be on her list of sycophants.
Horhn- this is really disappointing.
Sad, but very true.
Don’t walk run out of Jackson! Jackson is still not taking crime seriously
Are you on drugs??
Well, when you keep voting the same people in office either different names, what do you really expect?
In all fairness, JPD just isn’t necessarily a concern anymore. Let the people who vote for this kind of lady have her. Capitol PD will take care of the relevant areas. Hopefully they expand to county line. They’re doing a phenomenal job. In my opinion the state should run law enforcement in every larger city anyway.
9:22am, a sychophant of mayor, wants reparations, tolerance of carjackers and killers. Maybe approves 'tolerant' characteristics in a bureaucratic classroom cop because mayor is 100% impractical bureaucrat who thinks money comes from begging the federal presses to print him some. Dumbass mayor.
And she will live in Madison in a gated community with private security guards
She's a Doctor... that makes it all good!
Her most recent post on X:
"In a moment of nationwide protests over policing & expanded #ICE actions, join me at
@GeorgeMasonU
for a town hall on Policing Difference & Identity in a Racialized State.
Feb 11, 4:30–7:10 PM | Merten Hall 1201
Hosted w/ @GMU_NAACP @GeorgeMasonCHSS
@Mason_AAAS @NAACP #policing"
I don't think she will play well with Capital Police.
Should be entertaining to watch.
Terrible pick imo
Looking at her twitter account. She is a racist. She should fit in perfectly.
Queue an increase in racial strife. I tried to remain optimistic about Horne but damn.
If it's her - new chief same as old chief, including the current interim chief with the stupid looking goatee.
PhD holders who use Dr. are very vain. BS - we know what that means. MS = more of the same. PhD = piled higher and deeper.
Asst. Chief Watts is the best choice, but his skin pigment doesn't check off the DEI box.
Shhhhit, might as well let Tyree Jones continue his reign as both Sheriff and Police Chief! A new Chief ain’t gonna do shit in Jackson until the voters reign in these WEAK & SOFT on CRIME judges.
Come on Judges please send these habitual offenders away for a long time so the city can regroup! Make a damn Statement!
If you keep slapping these fools on the wrist it’s gonna hit home and they will crawl where you live!
Good one Harry.
Cuckservative KF at it again.
The Overton window is still so far to the left you can’t comment about the obvious red flags of why she will be terrible and ineffective.
So I will just ask this. Can anyone name any woman police chief who had any tangible, measurable success? Any success will suffice. Excluding “increasing diversity” because that is not any tangible, measurable, success.
Same question for woman military leaders as well while we are at it.
KF if you must censor this then perhaps you can just answer the question yourself instead.
Give the City of Jackson control of water and sewage, a new stadium for JSU, the choice of a police chief, and there is no doubt that the 2030 Olympics will be held in the city.
John, John, John. What are you doing, man?!?!?!?
At some point, we as a society need to collectively to acknowledge that all of the Marxist social experiments that boomer intellectuals cooked up on university campuses in the 60s have failed. Why do we keep repeating these failed social experiments? We will never get different results.
I can’t feel sorry for a population that chooses their own path to destruction. “Restorative justice” isn’t going to stop the population from being victimized and keep young black men from getting bagged up with bullets in their chests every weekend.
John Horhn if you're reading this. Please don't. We want Wendell Watts.
It really will not matter who the chief is. The people of Jackson like it the way it is.
Castoffs and retreads ie Burl Cain, way to go.
Female....bubblehaed......no street experience.......liberal. LOL.
What is the mayor thinking?
Her previous stops are Pittsburgh and Charlottesville, and she thinks she’ll handle/understand Jackson? Come on, now?
Why in the hell would she want to come to this dumpster fire?
What the hell is Horhn doing? Jackson needs a hardcore leader who believes in active policing and city wide saturation.... I won't be voting for Horhn again - he's pretended to be a reasonable Democrat who still has common sense while making this social justice warrior hire and opposing realistic but necessary water rate increases.
I don’t know maybe the six figure salary and the fact that she was fired from her last gig?
Thank God! I'm tired of that wannabe cowboy guy with that stupid-looking goatee stumbling over simple words everyday on the local news.
I’m sure there are a lot of thugs sitting around laughing their asses off at our new female police chief. Just plain genius move by Horhn. Right when things start looking better in this town, BAM that “D” next to Horhn’s name just slaps the shit out of you. Did Kamala ask him to appoint her when he gave her the key to city? (She really really helped this place out when she was VP)
I notice a theme with his hires.
He's three for three with DEI choices, and when things continue to go to shit we'll know why.
So. Unbelievably. Predictable.
DEI do or die. Go woke go broke.
You dumbasses that voted for Horhn deserve this shit.
I don't think this is a good choice. I think Jackson just took a step backwards here.....and these step backwards are just too common place. I expected better choices by the mayor. I hope she proves me wrong
Could not have made a worse choice. She espouses making crime victims meet with the criminals. Maybe she can organize a meet and greet at the drag races, or have Stokes round up the so called dope boys for a community chat.
Horhn is absolutely clueless. Anyone hoping he had an ounce managerial skill and foresight should know better now.
An exhibition with a shetland pony.
Her X timeline is exactly what you would expect.
Oh for God's sake. Probably not as bad as New Orleans old hag chief, but still.
I'm optimistic. Hubby had to come home to take care of parents so we might be getting a situational advantage. And remember, getting fired from certain idiots could be a badge of honor. I will give her the benefit of the doubt. After all, Jackson is not exactly an opportunity to improve your resume.
Maybe she could sit down with the Vice Lords and the Gangster Disciples.
They could have some Cocoa with the Po-Po and talk about their feelings.
Everybody on here has that clip going in their head, epic: https://youtu.be/JDh-JfZGQyY
Yet another worthless video edit.
This is 4:30 of the real scene:
Must see: Harry with his forehead on the pencil eraser.
Among others. ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k85TW4bxy4o
Wonder who will be driving her around and in her entourage?
An idea, hire an ex convicted felon that has life long ties to Jackson. May get good insight on getting crime under control
Guess Horhn didn't see how Chesa Boudin, George Gascon and Pamela Price got tossed in California.
Now boys just give her time. First on her agenda will be to find a house in Madison or Flowood, then we worry about Jackson.
A perfect example of a DEI career.
And she sued her last employer for wrongful termination— lol
Your next Jackistan
Since we have seemed to have lost our reputation for Southern hospitality and good manners that we were rebuilding ( thanks in part to Thalia Mara and the IBC), and because we seem to see those with higher educations as "uppity" no matter their color, we are lucky to get anyone to come. I suppose that's why we are relying so heavily on cheap land deals and cheap labor and are still competing with Louisiana for the highest poverty rates.
Mayor sent a message that he felt no one working in JPD was capable of being police chief.
Perpetual Top 10 murder per capita city hires police chief whose town hall lecture next week is "policing difference and identity in a racialized state". What could possibly go wrong?
Hey @Krusatyr (February 6, 2026 at 11:12 AM) i don't know if you think this is 2025 ,but Lumumba no longer the mayor John Horhn is now ! lol
I know you realize that every time you state someone was hired for DEI purposes then, you are playing the race card. Right? I would be willing to bet that it is more often played by you MAGA folk than any other group.
... you are playing the race card. Right?
Nope.
With irritating Hohrne beeps like this, the JJ crowd will soon be singing again the praises of Kenneth Stokes as the only sane choice to become Jackson’s next mayor.
In an October podcast, she [Brackney] discussed some of the changes she put in place during her time as Charlottesville Police Chief, including removing resource officers from schools, and doing away with the department’s SWAT team and specialized drug units, which she characterized as “violent.”
“They create a culture that’s insular... Typically are the groups that will violate intentionally rights. They start to believe in their own mission as being more important than the law or your outcomes,” she told listeners. “I disbanded them.”
All you Eastoverans, Belhavians and Fondrenites who thought Jackson had turned a page —THINK AGAIN !
What a horrible choice. Really?? she removed school resource officers, disbanded SWATteams and worked on a University campus as Chief? She’ll be swallowed up whole by the gangs and drug dealers here.
I cant wait to see what the city council will do, it going to be a hoot!
Her CV is a great example of a DEI career.
What could possibly go wrong in Jackson if she likely implements the same woke changes.
You can bet that she has a huge "golden parachute" built into her contract for when she ultimately gets fired. She will rent, not buy, as she knows that she won't last.
Officers resigning in 3, 2, 1. Asst. Chief Watts retiring in 3, 2, 1. Will Rukia be brought on as an advisor?
Fence the place in and let them have it
A Phd is a Phd becuase they can't do anything else.
She will be a catastrophic failure. They need a hardass man with a crew cut and a jaw like a bulldog. Some dude who has done a lot of boxing, Marine training , or martial arts. What a moronic pick.
He thought it might gain him favor at the ballot box, but it is political suicide for John Hohrne. Short-sighted, and unserious. May God help Jackson, MS.
Police personnel in all ranks are steeped in quasi-military culture and discipline. Many of them ARE retired/former military. The lack of respect for a FEMALE commanding officer is well documented. That is a fact based on research. They've usually never been in a fire-fight, pinned down in a ditch, nor much less ever smelled/laid eyes on a burn pit. Ranking female Captains/Majors/Colonels greatly struggle with operational commands because they for the most part have been sitting behind a desk or attending meetings most of their careers. Charlottesvile? Compared to Jacktown? Really Mayor? Welcome to the Machine RaShall.
Capital Police will be expanding again to take care of the increase in crime if the new chief follows her approach in Charlottesville with JPD.
Her socials are unapologetically racial. She can’t stand white people.
At this point it’s just a cliche.
She was terminated in 2021 by the city of Charlottesville and filed a $10 million lawsuit in 2022 against the city, city officials and police officials. Her major complaint was that her termination was motivated by race, color, gender discrimination, etc. In 2023, her lawsuit was dismissed by a federal judge that ruled that her complaint didn't have enough facts to support her claim.
Same ole same hole! Seriously
Tina Clay now wants to change her vote after the initial vote.
