Jackson, MS does some stupid things, but they deserve some praise

Honestly, this surprises me.

Interesting how the whole BLM defund the police thing and lets the burn the city down only seems to take hold in cities that are lily white while Deep South majority black cities like Jackson and Memphis are quiet

They gave starting police officers a 20 percent raise today in an effort to recruit more.

Still not enough to police that place...

I interpret a 20% raise for the police in Jackson to be an attempt at hazard pay. And, obligatory Fingers Taylor: LINK

Jackson and Memphis are quiet

MEMPHIS, Tenn — In the month of July alone, there were 43 homicides which far surpassed the highest record of 29 in a single month. The record of 228 homicides in a year was set in 2016. “If we continue at the rate we are going now, we are gonna blow that out of the water,” Williams said.


Sep 11, 2020 - Jackson has more homicides this year than the last 20. It is pacing toward its highest year ever. Justin Vicory Keisha Rowe. Mississippi Clarion Ledger ... of Jackson officials say the city is seeing an historic rise in homicides ...

I'm pretty surprised Mayor Cheekwon Mutoboo actually did this.

Told my wife this yesterday, Memphis dont give a frick if you protest for black lives matter or any other bullshite. They will kill you too, then take your shite. People know this, that's why they do this shite in Milwaukee and Kenosha. If the police want to shoot black guys in Memphis they have to get in line behind the other black guys in Memphis. In conclusion Memphis is a shithole.
