Jackson Jambalaya

Is this a step toward restorative justice?

His skin is obviously the wrong color.

Watts was obviously the wrong color and gender perhaps

Couldn’t even use him for photos?

Maybe he told her what she was doing wrong.

Rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

@10:36 AM The left can identify genders?

If he felt like he was discriminated against he should sue.

It looks like the same people who complain about injecting race into everything are once again congregating on here to inject race into everything. What hypocritical morons yall are.

Good to see action taken. Not sure why all the negativity.

It really doesn't matter what they do. Nothing is going to change. Jackson especially south jackson is too far gone.

The city says it's broke just wait for all these wrongful termination lawsuits to start pouring in. This city is headed for catastrophic failure any day now.

Every once in a while, it really is race.

You people are never satisfied. Complain, complain, complain.

11:34 AM What action?

Don't know what Horhn was thinking when he hired Brackney. She's going to prove out to be one of his biggest mistakes.

It doesn't matter who the chief is anymore. No one will be able to fix Jackson. The inmates run the asylum.

You people? Who is you people?

Dr. Chief wilts under pressure and manufactures a scapegoat, apparently with Horhn's blessing. What a cluster.

I’m pulling for John, but I think he was pushed by white liberals with money to hire her with the promise of a cash infusion to the city.
Barksdales perhaps ?

She and they don’t want any “white” representation. They wanted a “yes” man and Wendell is not one.

I’ve known Wendell since 1989 as students at Hinds when he was in the criminal justice program. He is a good man and more experienced than the Dr chief.

Her leftie progressive chief of staff will become the asst. chief, even though she has no peace officer status/training/certification. Great hire mayor. Not.

Maybe what the JPD was doing wasn't working?

Exactly!

Hope he gets a good lawyer.

New boss, same as the old boss. They are about to run out of people to blame their incompetence on.

Going to be the worst Chief in JPD history. A lot of officers are looking for new jobs and over her. Mayor Horhn is a joke with this one

He was just to dang red for Ole Girl to handle. It doesn't matter who she fires and hires. Only God can fix these countrywide moral issues. And it is countrywide . We have let evil into everything.

Too many good officers overlooked for promotions because the Mayor felt he had to hire from the outside. Now it’s clean house! What bullshit! I surmise the bodyguard/driver will be the next assistant Chief!
Nothing will change except the hats. Chief whats next? Shave them damn beards! They look stupid and unprofessional. Pete Hegseth is on the way! Get rid of them bellies and them sissy wrapped vehicles.

Wendell was paid $82,000 in 2025. This leftist chief is paid $150,000. Go figure.

Have known Wendell for years . . . bad move Chief! He is what the City of Jackson needed!!!

Dr. Chief is not going to last. She hasn't been a success at anything other than getting a PhD. I'll bet her buddy she brought in from out West will move into Watts's office in the morning.

12:21 He was an at will employee.

Thanks for your opinion Rukia. What's your new grift?

Doesn’t matter if he was At Will employee or not. This is a BAD choice for JPD!

Lots of cronies posting on this one. Change is needed and change is hard, whether you are talking JPD or MHP.

Sue her and the city of Jackson. Also, I can’t wait to see the ACLU show up to defend this racial firing.

$85,000 annually? For the job of being a Deputy Police Chief in Jackson, MS? I'd have left a LOOOOOONG time age. I bet Wendell got a phone call from someone the second this broke. I can also bet from who.

It'll be even funnier when he hires on with the Capitol Po Po !

The street committee said he was just standing around doing nothing Saturday when the 3 people were murdered and it pissed her off.

What was he supposed to do? Look up big words from dictionary for the word salad?

What's the problem ? Other folks have been fired all over Jackson for no reason. Mississippi is an at will state(which is dumb) which applies to everyone

Sounds like Miss Chief is intimidated by anyone that knows more and has been around longer than her. She is the new kid on the block and has done absolutely nothing to help Jackson. A sad situation with a sad person and their useless doctorate in management.

She looked lost on the news. She was probably mad that Watts didn't get up there and do the talking for her.

Why he fired? What he dun did? He ain did nuthin, Bro !
