- In an effort to combat crime, lawmakers in Mississippi are introducing a pair of new laws, which would usher in changes that could have implications on racial representation. CNN's Omar Jimenez reports. #CNN #News
It would have been respectful for the state to have offered assistance… rather than taking over.
Knickers don't get respect they get a rope....a black one cause knickers are not good enough for a white rope
They probably warned of this multiple times . Just wasn’t reported .
@@AverageJoe483 Atlantic City fell under different state control for other reasons - they still can't do anything. It's not a slippery slope, it's deep dive into wtf
@@noneshere People need good paying jobs, they are in poverty, and that is the reason for crime, why they live there I just don’t understand it.
@@ow3wells too poor to move. To invest in a new home.
*They need you to forget about Brett Favre.*
THIS‼️
First they gerrymander the heck out of the place, then decide they still don't have enough control in the legislature, so they have to take over policing someone else's district? WTH?
Chaos and Order
Exactly. The gerrymandering around here is insane. Nothing is fair. And we live with this every day.
If the district would have curbed it's crime they wouldn't have had to take matters into their own hands.
Who is doing criminal acts? Talk about that
And that give people the right to just take over? And you act like whites don't commit crimes
No representation is never good.
Damn straight.
Have State Increase FUNDING for their city police. They dont need to take it over. WTH
It's happening in other blue cities.The state has to send law enforcement help because municipal police have been defunded and demoralized. NAACP needs to spend its time and money helping families that produce criminals.
Lmao are you kidding just give money lol
They tried that. The city received millions to fix the water. Later the entire water system failed and the money was long gone.
@@deer8341 Jackson didn't defund the police.
More money, yeah i'm sure that has worked out well before.
Everybody deserves equal protection and the right to be secure at home and walking to work.
But what if people voted to get rid of the protection? And demoralized the people who were suppose to do the protecting?
The primary duty of any government is to protect its citizens.
As a Mississippi native. I use to live in Jackson 2010: the crime wasn't that bad when I was living there...but Now 🤔I'm lost for words!!!
Someone is funding the weapons
The rate of crime is an indicator of the way a country, city, and counties problems. They keep trying to put bandaids on broken bones
and then there is the opportunity factor.
change your face, change your name, and try to survive there
This is a shame.
They’ll only make it worse.
Another part of the governors job is not blocking federal funding to the city....
Thank you! So many people don't get that part. 😊
Congress did this in DC in the 90s.
I feel sorry for the lady who owns the Beauty salon, but cannot keep her doors unlocked to serve customers because of the high crime rate. It will do no good for the NAACP to sue the state of Mississippi. It just drives people farther apart. Perhaps they should consider what people are committing the crimes. If the people of Jackson, Mississippi are living in fear or not, wasn’t there also, a problem with the water supply, not being fit for people to drink?
If America and the States were Constitutional, @NAACP, We The People could ensure that the changes needed for bringing our nation into a United People working together we would not have to be concerned about these matters. As a United Nation we would be working together Uniting ourselves into a Peaceful nation with a multi-ethnic population. That's how the Constitution reads and SHOULD BE how We The People DEMAND the nation to be Governed.
This is happening during the Biden administration. We recall that when Joe Biden was running for president he said he was the adult in the room and it was his job to bring people together and to unite Americans. Under the Biden administration, Americans have been more divided than ever before.
It is though.
Problem solved.
For man, yes,@@springerworks002,but YHVH has it already worked out as The Bible's Daniel 2:45, ch 3 & Rev 18 & ch 5 properly interpreted reveals the following.
Dan 2:45s feet is the multi-ethnics USA as Rev 5:5-12 is the Branch as Numbers 17:1-11s Rock. Ch. 3s furnace is Armageddon and the Bridechamber that will be in Rev 18s USAs destruction while ch 4s tree is her with Biden & Harris as the Iron and Brass bands respectively. So asked YHVH is the interpretation correct.
Yea! I see biden who ran on unity increasing the divide.Return to segregation.
We need a new crime bill and start holding parents accountable. Folks trust your eyes.
Projecting as usual....
How about holding racists accountable for creating the conditions where crime can take hold?
@@kenbob1071 so why do low income areas outside of the US not have this problem? Maybe take a look at how the community conducts itself…
@@ChocoModz34 nice try racist... Poverty and crime are everywhere, number of guns casualties are off the charts because of the amount of guns available. But you're too deep into the rabbit hole to realize that
Police yourselves
Wonder if the NAACP will do similar for St Louis Mo. Where a majority Republican White state government is trying to remove city prosecutor and take over control of the police department of a majority non white, Democratic city.
Just a few months before he was reelected, Mo. Governor Mike Parson said he'd help St Louis with the crime problem. St. louis Mayor accepted the offer and welcomed the states offer to help. But that help never happened. Now the republican run state wants to take over the city.
Doesn’t St. Louis have some of the worst crime in the country? How could the republicans make it any worse?
After what happened in Flint who can blame them.
They can’t even admit that they’ve failed their own people, and are using that same old excuse. Racism. Pathetic.
EXACTLY! That’s exactly what is happening 😡
I'm really sad.
Indeed, white people in the USA have failed from the very beginning, and if not for the Natives, would have starved to death.
Then these FAILURES who then stole the Natives land, went 2,000 miles to ENSLAVE people to work that stolen land, because they were failures at work.
They had to get workers from 3,500 miles in the other direction to construct their railways (The Chinese) because they were FAILURES at working.
At every turn the White majority has been shown to be a total failure, and often an EVIL failure.
BIPOC people built the USA, and BIPOC people sustain the USA.
Race hustling, and grifting is big money today. All about the $
do you understand how much the state already influences what a city can do for it's people? what can a city do about gun crime if the state congress creates lax gun laws and defunds education?
Ending poverty would go a long way.
But the State can’t make money on the poor that way.
They won't tax the people with money, their donors, so everything else is a loss to be blamed.
Damn straight.
"Ending poverty would go a long way.
But the State can’t make money on the poor that way."
That doesn't make sense because when someone is working a well-paying job, they pay taxes......they can then afford a home and pay even more taxes.......which in turn makes the State money.
@Mr. White I don't think anyone wants the State to be broke.
We just wish they understood how, in the long term, it might be better to use acquisitioned funds for general, and specific improvements in places that specifically affect us.
@@k.p.c7779 You're right. Our bought and paid for congress has given so much to the oligarchy over the decades that a larger portion than ever of the American people can't afford to live. Starving humans beings aren't just going to sit back and die of starvation on the streets. Instead, they will steal to survive. Which causes us to be at each-others' throats when the anger should be directed at the folks in government. In all likelihood, racism would fade away in the U.S., if folks could afford to live, afford to eat, had access to higher education and a good prospect in life for their children.
Any sentence that starts with Mississippi is troubling within itself. 🤦🏽♀️
Hello Queen long time no see.
The Gulf Coast of Mississippi is thriving now! People are flocking from all over the country to get here. Because wokeness doesn't fly here!
TRUMP IS MORE POPULAR THAT JOE .
You can fit the word Mississippi at least 100 times between that giant gap in your front teeth
Who was in charge of naming that state anyway?
*This is nothing new to the black community, but for some reason this feels like a distraction from something else.*
A bit torn about this one. The violent and property crimes are definitely out of control. Law and order are essential but ALSO the legacy of racism and decades of disinvestment, poor education, illegal (drug, gun) economies and toxic (rap) music must be addressed. Difficult conversations for sure with complex solutions but anything less begs for sustained problems.
white supremacist minion:
Brett Favre stole tens of millions from poor Mississippians, who are mostly black people. What should we do now, boss?
white supremacist supervisor:
You know the drill...
Blame blacks, whatever music they like, and blame drugs that we can use to criminalize them like we always do.
the only conclusion of yours i take issue with is rap. while certainly a great deal of it is toxic or self agrandizing, there are some legitimate raps that bring up true issues. gangsta's paradise comes quickly to mind as a socially conscious rap.
Jackson MS is a $hithole. My mom was robbed dropping off donations to the salvation army
Some black youths around America seem to be undoing all progress made by blacks in the past 50 or so years because of their total lawless behavior, which is being unjustly blamed on black law-makers. However, it's time that policies address the high crime rates in the inner-cities and for political correctness to be put aside. Criminals do not care about who are impacted by their criminal activities, including the race of the victims. In as much as its a social issue, it's also a crime issue and needs to be tackled by the local administration from both ends, but white people should not be allowed to come into black communities to brutalize black bodies regardless of whether there is high crimes in these communities or not. These communities need to tackle these issues on their own and to be provided with the required resources to do so.
You blame the ignorant young? 😂😂😂
Blacks?
Kids need opportunities and hope.
So white people should stay outta your communities but send you cash and other resources.... with all the illegal immigrants costing billions in tax revenue your communities don't have the resources you want whites to send are gonna drop year after year.
@@mikeb5664 They need discipline first of all.
Ah yeah, your city is falling apart.
The story never even broaches the reason for the uptick in crime! You’d think that would be an essential question in the report.
could it have anything to do with how republicans run states, loosening gun laws and tearing down education? how much economic support does the GOP controlled state congress allow?
if you remove the population maximums, (most studies default to large population areas for their comparison, ignoring the smaller counties) what happens?
well, mississippi is still high, but orleans parish in louisiana has 43 homocides per 100k, while coahoma county mississippi has 37. on a top ten list mississippi shows up twice, as does alabama, and macon county in alabama ties with DC at 27 per 100k.
if you want to investigate the causes, you can, but it's complicated, and non partisan. was there a recent economic downturn in mississippi? did the state pass laws that forced destitute people into pregnancy?
regardless of the reason, state usurping the autonomy of a city goes well against the "small government" approach that the GOP says they support.
Why would they? When their policies don’t work, and crime is allowed to run rampant, they will follow like the others…Chicago, Portland, Philadelphia and even NY. Stores will leave, no jobs, and more welfare thrown at them. Democratic policies destroy these places, that’s a well known documented cycle of degeneration happening everywhere they are in full leadership
The problem is that there isn't a uptake in crime they are ticketing and arresting people for J- walking and crap like that and saying there's a uptake.
@@sebcw1204 it's because of knickers you dummy
@@sebcw1204 interesting points!
Why wouldn’t you want to help with your crime? It doesn’t make any sense
Bc white people bad. Republican white people worse. 😂
And in reality, all politicians make money off crime. Look up all the recent politicians that have been caught in scams and crimes. Misappropriating funds. Have campaign meetings with correctional
Inmates. Etc.
Cuz they think its better to have more crimes than police in the neighborhoods.
@@notapenguin9354 Sounds like they also prefer crime over being told what to do by "white people" or republicans after having failed in properly governing the place
Jim Crow in 2023. Taxation without representation. Mississippi will never change
You know it's because of laziness and entitlement. Thats why Africans don't like knickers they can't be lazy or they die but cause you live in America you can get help from the government then spit out a kid or 2 and your set child support and more money from the government and still have the audacity to claim America is racist where there are billions of people around the world that would risk their lives to come over here
These poor black victims smdh
I remember when the NAACP was a reputable organization who stood up for the rights of all Americans. Those days are long gone.
It has always been a grift run by Jews
what? they have always been focused on the advancement of colored people. right there in the title.
oh stfu. they even defended weirdos like candace owens.
THANKS BRETT FARVRA
The state only cared to take over when the mayor got millions in federal funding. Tell the whole story.
So, why couldn't they just approve more finding for the city police? Stretching the state police jurisdiction and appointing state controlled judges does seem like they're blaming city police and city officials for the crime problem (and can't trust them).
Exactly and rightfully so..
We have no hate crime bill....No Reparations...But you want our help?

I saw in action what is called a "Community Police". 1st, they walk on foot, know the people who work in the different businesses. They enter then ask if everything is fine, if "Yes" they move on to the next one. while 2 policemen are heading down town, two others are going up the street... A bit like the "Bobbies"...That's why I like the interview between the Journalist and the Policeman doing his round..
Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York are the only states in the country that allow cities to have their own gun laws. Those 5 states also have the lowest levels of gun violence in the country. And it's no surprise that Republican states have the highest levels of gun violence.
*thumbnail shows black cop* 😂
Ok and…?
No one can expect Mississippi to be fair when dealing with minorities. They've never been fair. This is Amerikkka, people. They want people to do better on one hand, but won't offer a way to do so on the other hand Oppression and control, has always been the mentality of the powers . However, people have to do and be better. A few people EFF it up for everyone.

Good, between the bad water, Brett Farve scandal & generally poor state of the entire state, it’s time. 🙏🏻
Jackson MS has a population of about 150,000 with 80 percent Black and all residing in a combat zone. The Capital of Mississippi has been overrun by crime, and the State Legislature and Governor Reeves have stepped in to assist Mayor Lumumba in taking back control of the City he swore to keep safe. Of course, the NAACP as well as Mayor Lumumba view this encroachment as a move by the White Supremist legislature and Governor to control Jackson and its residents. Instead, one would think that the NAACP and Mayor Lumumba would welcome this help to reduce crime and improve the public safety of the Jackson City residents. But they don't, go figure. You Get It Blanket-heads. PaulA
Unbelievable
Yawn.. “everything is racist”. It’s really getting old and I’m mixed race, mind you.
We need law and order regardless of color of skin. All must be protected.
That's not the argument here...
@@FredEdeXIII 150 crime up and u think less police is the solution. Might as well live in the jungle there is no police there, you can show ur own nature there and have 1000 crime up
I mean it is what it is...if they need more help they need more help. It'd not a race thing. Also jackson needs to fix its water issue as well.
0:46 Wtf?? Does CNN seriously not know that's the year 2021?? Unbelievable.....
FRANKLY, I don't blame the State officials!
THE situation has been in the hands of the Black officials
for 75 years!
THEY were unable to do anything about it.
I think they're attacking the problem from
the wrong position.
CONTROLLING this kind of uncivilized savage social behavior
needs to be applied DIRECTLY to where it came from: THE PARENTS.
ALL THOSE PARENTS are producing sons like this!
The problem is DEEPER than just having "boots on the ground!"
Parenting , or lack of parenting is the genesis of most of this violent
behavior and add to that , a key element is the absence of a father figure ,
over 70-percent. The result is , much of the parenting is on the streets.
@@atticusfredericks6210 AND, couple that with the rap music lyrics that support this kind of behavior, PLUS, the violent video games that GLORIFY CRIME that they've been playing since they were 2 years old!

@@atticusfredericks6210 Yes it's a systemic problem. Follow the chain and it leads to parenting. As a kid I had to eat dinner at the dinner table. 5 kids we all had to atone for our malfeasants.

Until law enforcement fixes their problems, they will continue to self inflict their defunding by getting sued.
Why do we need the NAACP a private organization suing the State? This should be the Federal government stepping in.
It's b/c this is a frivolous lawsuit.
Lmao the feds are you serious lmao the governor would kick the feds out its state level issue since the city level failed to do anything.

Just a question
Why mostly immigrants come to this country and they succeed,why BLP don’t do the same ?
Immigrants get favorable loans, easy access to specialty programs, tax breaks, and not to mention most of them are staying in homes with multiple families under one roof, and are pooling their money to invest in an industry in this mostly occupied by their own ethnicity…
I.E. Cambodians with donut shops, Koreans with black beauty supply stores, Indians with IT/call centers, Mexicans in agriculture and landscaping, etc…
