You mean the same department that BuyingLargeMansions had them believing should be defunded?
Kenneth freaking Stokes better not be one of them.. he is on record many times critical of police and even telling people to throw objects at police cars.
Hey black community…. How about getting out there on your own and cleaning this shite up you helped create?

Every election cycle after this, they’ll continue to put the same incompetent and corrupt types of people into office that got them into this 3rd world situation. So no, it won’t be a catalyst.
Eventually I believe the federal government will take direct action in Jackson and other cities, and even they don’t have the spine anymore to do what needs to be done.

The mayor isn't one of the defund the police type mayors, IIRC

"I guess they don’t want them defunded now?"
I am not aware of any Black community that wanted to defund the police. BLM activists and mostly-white progressives? Sure.

The police had nothing to do with this. Just whatever it takes not to face the real problem, huh?

Its only cured at the family level.
Humans need adults, their parents, with them in full upbringing.
A community can't, nor does care enough, to raise multitudes of young children.

Ok… then why were they allowed to dictate that to leftist city leaders with zero backlash from the community?
There was (is) no pushback. That doesn’t sound like stern disagreement with me.

Maybe they should speak up in support of police then rather than sit on their hands and wait for the cops to clean up areas they’re being told they aren’t welcome in.
Just a thought.

I'm not laughing at the story as it is sad and tragic in so many ways. I'm laughing at the idea that black leaders will finally denounce black on black violence and hip hop culture.

Change doesn't start with the police. Change doesn't start with political policy. Its the elephant in the room nobody wants to talk about....change for the black community starts WITHIN the black community. You can't make a law thats gonna make the gangs stop shooting at each other. You can't create a policing strategy that's going to make the gangs stop shooting at each other.
The black community at large has to look inwardly and reject the culture of acceptance of violence that plagues young black men. Its a circular cycle and you can jump in on any point and call it the root cause. A young black boy raised by a singe mother because his father ended up in jail, boy without a positive male influence in his life turns to street violence, ends up in and out of jail, gets a woman pregnant, not involved in his kids life and the cycle repeats.
Its a long term issue. It can't be solved today or tomorrow. The next generation of young black men, little boys today have to be nurtured and steered away from a culture that accepts and glamorizes drugs, gun violence and poor treatment of women. Thats the only way it can be done, thats the only way we save so many of the "forgotten" black lives that should have mattered. That's how you empower black lives...it starts at home, it starts with family, it starts within their own communities.

Nothing will be "fixed" until black people start vigilante-style policing of their own neighborhoods and taking responsibility for the actions of young black men.
That is not going to happen, unfortunately.

79.4% of the city population. Can’t help themselves. SMH

No.
I’m yet to see a community dominated by that demographic that improves by any notable metric unless they are replaced.

Huge lack of reverence for the sanctity of life in the Black community and they are all to blame. Every opportunity to build something has been handed to the Black community and it just gets passed away so they can continue blaming whitey for their troubles. So sick of this shite. Just year after year of this same bullshite. Rinse and repeat.
Sad. But why they rallying at police headquarters?
They need to go rally in front of city hall.

I doubt it. Jackson has gone hood rat mentality from the ghettos to city hall.
Her death is very tragic but I don’t see Jackson changing for the better any time soon
