Mississippi pushes more state policing in mostly Black city

[DrScholl]

We saw what happened with the emergency managers in Michigan. The Republican Attorney General had to bring charges against them it was so bad. This is just another boldly partisan power grab by the GOP that wants to rule over areas that don't vote for it. Like any city the crime problem effects the Black population more so than White legislators and visitors who don't venture into Black neighborhoods. There is data that shows that Black neighborhoods are over policed for more lesser offenses and under policed when it comes to crimes actually being solved or even prevented.

They should leave these black areas alone and let them fend for themselves. It's clear that they don't want the white establishment help, so why give them this help?

Most black residents, like most people, are law abiding citizens. And they want less crimes. But you have a very vocal minority who think all cops are racists and anyone who calls the police in black neighborhoods are uncle toms. They create a stigma aganist the police in black communtities. Yes, police brutality is real. But rare. Yes, there is a distrust of police in general in the black community. But the rise of crime these last few years is caused by this vocal minority (and COVIDresrictions but thats a seperate issue)

The state has to step in when this vocal minority take control of local cities. To protect the majority of residents. They might not come out and say it because of stigma, but I suspect the black residents of Jackson, MS would welcome more police.

Just pointing out some misspellings and grammar issues you might want to correct. Anyway the kind of policing the Republican majority wants is not going to help the city, but create more racial issues with the police. The police constantly over police on more minor issues and the idea of "suspicion" without cause. Meanwhile you have Black people go missing with very little support in finding them and violent crime not taken seriously. The GOP is just seeking power where it can't win it through elections, not trying to lower crime.

Instead of ignorantly assuming that Black people who call the police are labeled "Uncle Toms" by other Black people, let's discuss how some people react to calls in Black neighborhoods. They often will drag their feet and using language like "no humans involved" in response to those calls.
