At the Hinds County SO? I was watching WJTV and it appears she alledgedly hit a lady and gave het a black eye at the night club Couples over the weekend….
Apparently she had a history of this….it’s a story I’m following! Any leads?
Because of the water situation and because of my involvement with this HBCU stuff, the chief and I haven’t connected!
I’m going to reach out this week to schedule a lunch meeting with her and a time she can be on the show live….I know you have a ton of questions…. But you’ve got to be respectful!!!!
Working to set it up this week! I have noted all of your previous comments!
I was so busy with this HBCU stuff that I didn’t address this problem….
I want to give big thank you’d to Thelman Boyd and all of the city employees in the Public Works Department that worked around the clock to help restore our water and get us thru this!
I for one was very impressed with Mayor Johnson’s leadership during this period…I said the other day, God gives us who and what we need at the right time and for this season, Mayor Johnson has been a God-send!
Thanks to all of our neighboring cities and towns for pitching on!!!
And to those idiots that tried to take advantage of our situation by marketing your resturants and products off of us and blaming our leadership—- you will not prosper!!! You will suffer, you will go down!!!
To those idiots that are trying to blame Mayor Johnson for this problem, wake up and smell the coffee! How dumb????
On MLK Day, supporters, alumni, family and friends took to the streets!
A very peaceful non-violent march from the fairgrounds to the south steps of the Capitol!
Under beautiful sunny skies hundreds of supporters gathered to voice concern over a proposed merger of Alcorn and Mississippi Valley State Universities into Jackson State University.
This proposed merger was suggested by Governor Haley Barbour…allbeit, the governor isn’t that smart and didn’t just wake up the morning of Nov. 16 with this on his mind. Seeds were planted by politicans and college presidents!
As you know education has always Bern and continues to be the very fabric that lifts our people from poverty. I dare the governor suggests balancing the states budget on the backs of those with so little—minorities and women!
We say no to any idea of a merger. We believe the real issue here is funding! And, we demand adequate and equal finding now.
We want those people responsible for shaping the budget and approving the budget to consider our HBCU’s as equall partners!!
On the first day of this legislative session our elected officials approved $35 million dollars as an incentive for a new plant!! My question is where will you get an educated trainable work force since you suggest making access to higher education difficult?
Senator Doug Davis introduced a bill yesterday aligning himself with the governor!
This is war….we will not sit back and just let this happen.
A group known as the HBCU Alluance is working hard to stop any of this nonsense! We need you and your support!
Please join us in our efforts!
Forgive any typos posting this from my iPhone!
Saw this last night on the local news….don’t really have details, what are your thoughts?
As we move toward 2010, as promised we are holding our leaders/ elected officials accountable.
You’ve posted and I’ve listened!
You asked me to investigate the DA’s office about sexual misconduct/intimidation. I’m on it!
You’ve said city hall is status quo! I’m on it and we are creating a voting score-card/report card for council members and the mayor!
We will start however, with a hot subject! One that has caused this blog to explode and that is JPD!
You’ve got questions and I want to get answers.
You’ve said the changes and shake-ups are disturbing, I want to explain.
I’m having lunch next week with the chief and I want to address your concerns! I want to get answers to your questions!
Please share questions/comments/concerns and PRAISE here!
I want to give the chief an opportunity to speak!
This will alsobe our focus on The Othor Cain Show on Sunday, Jan, 10 at 3pm on WRBJ 97.7
Sound off:
So this is the third time I’ve heard this but the first time that I’ve heard Big Mac was meeting with advisors to get a real feel about his support and the probability of winning.
Big Mac is seriously contemplating a run for Lt. Governor!
Will he run as a republican or as a democrat?
Does he have any real juice outside of rural Hinds County?
So is it really over for him at the SO?
Who will be the big money contributor since Irby is engulfed with medical and legal bills?
Just a few questions as we move thru this process!
It’s ok to disagree…but that last thread was way too much. I have been working on several projects and have not had time to respond…but last night I got 3 texst msg, two telephone calls and a facebook post about that last JPD thread….
This blog isn’t intended to be mean spirited or to slander anyone. I undersstand that some of you think when I post a story that I’m attacking a person and putting them on front street…that is not the case….
Let’s try to make what’s wrong with/at JPD right…this blog can be that vehicle where your voices are heard and sentiments expressed….but come on let’s not cross the line….
As for what you say about me…I can care less..but at least respect your fellow officers….
A couple of new threads coming later today….
Based on a meeting today here’s what I know:
Pct. 1 and Pct 2 commanders will switch places. Jerimiah Jones goes to Pct 2 and Jessie Robinson goes to Pct 1.
Out from planet rock comes Ron Sampson and heads to Pct 3!
Eric Walls becomes Deputy Chief over Patrol while Brent Winstead goes to Deputy Chief over Investigations!
Rick Seavy becomes commander over Interal Affairs.
As reported earlier Gerald Jones goes to training still trying to confirm if this is as Deputy Chief and Tony Davis is demoted back down to Sgt!
The vote was taken today and it was done via racial lines.
In a 5-2 vote—all of tyhe black council men=mbers voted for the change and the two white ones voted no!
You might recall Lumumba received some pretty harsh words from Jackson Advocate then publisher Alice Tisdale earlier this year because of his position.
You might also recall Kenneth Stokes was a no show for the vote to confirm Rebecca Coleman and Raymond McNaulty as police and fire chiefs respectively. Why is Kenneth Stokes playing games?
Have you noticed that he is back up to his old antics now that Johnson is back ion office?
No press conference or loud outburtsts from Stokes the last four years under the Melton Administration…. Stokes is a joke at best and we need to hold him accountable and call him out!
The jury is still out on Yarber…so far under-impressed!
