The Clay Edwards Show, Episode 1,003 – Brandon's Confederate Statue Controversy & More

YouTube Video Description: Clay Edwards Show Interview with Forrest S. Dows – Brandon's Confederate Statue Controversy Join Clay Edwards on The Clay Edwards Show for an exclusive interview with Forrest S. Dows, Commander of the Mississippi Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, as they dive into the heated controversy surrounding Brandon, Mississippi's attempt to relocate a Civil War memorial statue. In this powerful discussion, Forrest passionately defends the monument's historical significance, clarifying its role as a tribute to soldiers who defended their homes, not a symbol of slavery. He reveals that the statue, owned by Rankin County, marks the sacred ground where federal troops stacked arms before devastating Brandon during the Civil War. Forrest debunks myths about Black Confederate soldiers, citing their documented service alongside white troops, and addresses accusations of racism by emphasizing the monument's inscriptions, which honor sacrifice without mentioning slavery. He also highlights Mississippi Code 55-15-81, which protects such memorials, and urges listeners to contact local representatives to oppose the city's secretive vote to move the statue.

In this jam-packed episode, Clay kicks things off with a lively recap of his night at the inaugural Mississippi Mud Monsters minor league baseball game in Pearl. From the vibrant turquoise-and-black uniforms to the family-friendly fun, Clay paints a vivid picture of a team bringing excitement back to Central Mississippi's baseball scene. He shares hilarious anecdotes, like navigating a wardrobe malfunction in the gift shop while snagging a stylish Mud Monsters hat, and reflects on the team's opening night growing pains with a crowd of over 4,500. Clay's enthusiasm is infectious as he urges listeners to support the Mud Monsters, emphasizing their role in creating affordable, fun outings before the Mississippi heat sets in.   But Clay doesn't stop at sports. He dives into a thoughtful analysis of why minor league baseball struggles in Central Mississippi, citing the region's competitive recreational landscape. From travel ball commitments to the allure of college baseball at Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and Southern Miss, Clay argues that the demographic most likely to attend games—families and young athletes—is often stretched thin. His solution? Market the Mud Monsters as a family-friendly spectacle where fun, food, and drinks take center stage, with baseball as a delightful bonus. It's a compelling case for reimagining minor league baseball's appeal in the South. The episode takes a sharp turn into Clay's signature “free-for-all” territory as he tackles a range of topics with his trademark candor. He plugs local businesses like Martin's Livingston and Acme Pizza & Daiquiris, offering mouthwatering recommendations for Fried Chicken Fridays and specialty pizzas that make for perfect weekend outings. Clay also gives a shout-out to Ric Flair's upcoming appearance at Southern Sky Brands, humorously noting the catch for fans wanting to meet the wrestling legend. His passion for local culture shines through as he challenges the notion that “there's nothing to do” in Jackson, pointing to a vibrant scene of concerts, dining, and sports that rivals bigger cities.   Never one to shy away from controversy, Clay wades into a “light-hearted” discussion sparked by a Twitter debate about a hypothetical race war in America. While firmly dismissing the idea as absurd and undesirable, he engages with the topic to highlight its futility, pointing out the diversity of perspectives within communities and the unlikelihood of such a conflict. Clay's commentary is both provocative and reflective, urging accountability and higher standards across cultures while rejecting divisive narratives. He also addresses the Tyre Nichols case in Memphis, critiquing media narratives that frame the verdict through a racial lens, and calls out local news outlets for their selective reporting on issues like Brad Arnold's cancer diagnosis.   Sprinkled throughout are Clay's personal anecdotes, from his love of live music (reminiscing about $17.50 Metallica tickets in 1989) to his frustration with Ticketmaster fees. He celebrates Rankin County's transformation into Central Mississippi's entertainment hub, citing events like Pearl Day and concerts at the Brandon Amphitheater, and contrasts it with Jackson's fading cultural dominance. The episode wraps with a nod to upcoming guests like Dr. Spencer Mills and a call to action for listeners to engage with the show's social media.   The Clay Edwards Show is a rollercoaster of humor, insight, and unfiltered opinions, offering a unique lens on Jackson's challenges and triumphs. Whether you're a local looking for weekend plans or a listener tuning in for Clay's take-no-prisoners style, this episode delivers. Catch it live on 103.9 WYAB or stream on SaveJXN, and join the conversation by sharing, liking, or dropping a comment. As Clay says, “You don't get this kind of content anywhere else!” Note on Positive Solutions: The transcript's reference to “too many positive solutions” is a sarcastic jab at critics who demand feel-good answers without addressing gritty realities. Clay's approach—highlighting local events, supporting businesses, and calling for community accountability—offers practical positivity grounded in tough love, not sugarcoated platitudes. The episode balances critique with celebration, proving there's no shortage of solutions when you're willing to confront the issues head-on.

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Two men who were abused by five former Rankin County sheriff's deputies back in early 2023 have settled their civil suit against Rankin County. On April 30, U.S. District Judge Daniel Jordan issued an order dismissing the suit brought by Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker, saying that the two had reached a settlement with Rankin County and the Rankin County Sheriff's Department. Jason Dare, an attorney for the department, provided details about the $2.5 million settlement at a press conference Thursday afternoon. “The county will pay $500,000 for that resolution. The county's insurance will pay its policy limits of $2 million for [the] resolution of that case,” he said. Dare told reporters outside the Rankin County Detention Center that the $500,000 would come out of the sheriff's department's budget. “The citizens of Rankin County are not going to be impacted by the settlement of this case,” he said. In a follow-up interview with WLBT, Dare said services will not be impacted, and that the $500,000 will likely come from different line items in the sheriff's $24.2 million budget. He said the payment will likely be made in the next 14 to 30 days and will be in one lump sum. The Rankin County Board of Supervisors will likely have to approve a resolution authorizing the payment. It was not known when that resolution would be presented. Dare went on to say that the settlement is not an admission of guilt on the county's or the sheriff's department's part. However, he did speak to the impact that the Goon Squad's actions had on the victims, the sheriff's department, and the county itself. “A lot of people were impacted by what happened in Braxton, Mississippi, on January 24, 2023, most notably, Mr. Jenkins, Mr. Parker, and their families, but also the Rankin County community, and the fine, upstanding law enforcement officers who are with the Rankin County Sheriff's Department, who have weathered the storm that has ensued since that day,” he said. “To everybody, we hope this resolution brings some sense of finality... and peace.” Parker and Jenkins filed the suit in June 2023, months after they were abused at the hands of five former Rankin deputies and one former Richland Police officer on the night of January 24, 2023. The two were seeking $400 million in compensatory damages, punitive damages, interest, and other costs. Those former officers have since been sentenced on state and federal charges.

Boone v. Rankin County

Last night in on Hwy 49 in Richland, Mississippi, Rankin county law enforcement had a shootout and standoff with a terrorist that ended with a LEO Sniper taking the terrorist out. I tell you guys everything I know and issue the terrorist a FAFO championship     

Today was the first show in the post SaveJXN era of the Clay Edwards Show and I have to say that I personally enjoyed the hell out of it and hope you all did too. The fact that the live viewership doubled throughout the show let's me know that people were sharing it because they also enjoyed it so thank you!! 1- We open the show with Pearl, Mississippi Mayor Jake Windham telling us all about what's going on in Pearl Saturday for the annual Pearl Day festival that concludes Saturday night with a free concert headlined by Poison lead singer Bret Michaels & co-headliner WARRANT!! We also take a dive into the state of the state of Pearl and all of the great work Jake's team has done with revitalizing the Hwy 80 corridor over the last decade or so. 2- I discuss last nights NFL draft and the fact the Ole Miss QB Jaxon Dart got drafted by the New York Giants as well as giving the recent draftees some advice about how to protect their money from "Insta-Skanks" that want to become "baby mommas". 3- Last night in on Hwy 49 in Richland, Mississippi, Rankin county law enforcement had a shootout and standoff with a terrorist that ended with a LEO Sniper taking the terrorist out. I tell you guys everything I know and issue the terrorist a FAFO championship  4- The story about the terrorist FAFO'ing in Rankin County reminded me of the time that the Westboro Baptist Church came to Brandon back in 2011 to protest a fallen Mississippi Marines funeral and found out the hard way that we do NOT play that shit down here!! 5- Angel "Mic Magazine" Buckner called in to tell a story about a time she personally dealt with racism in real life, and it wasn't in Mississippi. You might be surprised to find out where it was and hear what she has to say about it is as she fought back tears.  6- We got a crazy phone call from who I believe was the baby momma of Hector Custode, who's the accused child sex predator from the local car dealership that was exposed last week on the Pred V. Prey Facebook page. Rather the caller was the baby momma or not it motivated me to tell the story about how she has been stalking me and sharing information about Bryce (the content creator who exposed Hector) trying to tarnish him image as if it's somehow going to change what anyone thinks about Hectors image. We try to decide why she feels the need to defend Hector after he was caught on tape admitting to what he admitted to.

The story about the terrorist FAFO'ing in Rankin County reminded me of the time that the Westboro Baptist Church came to Brandon back in 2011 to protest a fallen Mississippi Marines funeral and found out the hard way that we do NOT play that shit down here!!    

Angela Buckner w/ 'Mic" magazine was live on the scene Friday morning at the Rankin County courthouse when a bus load of what I call "outside agitators" showed up armed and masked to protest in downtown Brandon, Mississippi at lunch time. This group ended up being members of the new Black Panther party, listen to exactly who they are and why they were there.

When Andrea Dettore-Murphy first moved to Rankin County, Mississippi, she didn't believe the stories she heard about how brutal the sheriff's department could be when pursuing suspected drug crimes. But in 2018, she learned the hard way that the rumors were true when a group of sheriff's deputies raided the home of her friend Rick Loveday and beat him relentlessly while she watched. A few years later, Dettore-Murphy says deputies put her through another haunting incident with her friend Robert Grozier. Dettore-Murphy was just the latest in a long line of people who said they witnessed or experienced torture by a small group of deputies, some of whom called themselves the “Goon Squad.” For nearly two decades, the deputies roamed Rankin County at night, beating, tasing, and choking suspects in drug crimes until they admitted to buying or selling illegal substances. Their reign of terror continued unabated until 2023, when the deputies were finally exposed.“Rankin County has always been notorious,” says Garry Curro, one the Goon Squad's many alleged victims. “They don't follow the laws of the land. They make their own laws.”This week on Reveal, reporters Brian Howey and Nate Rosenfield with Mississippi Today and the New York Times investigate the Goon Squad, whose members have allegedly tortured at least 22 people since the early 2000s.  Support Reveal's journalism at Revealnews.org/donatenow Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at Revealnews.org/newsletter Connect with us onBluesky, Facebook and Instagram Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

A routine traffic stop on Interstate 20 led to the Rankin County deputies finding over 42 pounds of methamphetamine and 20 pounds of fentanyl hidden inside a vehicle being hauled on a tractor-trailer. According to the Rankin County Sheriff's Department, the incident happened around 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 6 when a deputy noticed a commercial truck carrying multiple vehicles failing to maintain a single lane of travel near mile marker 68. After pulling the vehicle over and speaking with the driver, the deputy became suspicious of potential criminal activity. A consensual search of the vehicles on the trailer led authorities to a silver BMW, where deputies said they found suspicious irregularities. The truck and its cargo were then escorted to a sheriff's department facility for further inspection. Upon closer examination, deputies uncovered 42.4 pounds of methamphetamine and 20 pounds of fentanyl hidden inside the BMW.   According to the Rankin County Sheriff's Department, investigators believe that neither the driver nor the trucking company were aware of the illegal cargo being transported. As a result, the driver was released without charges, though the case remains under active investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Rankin County Sheriff's Department.

1- Opening segment of the show is me doing what I do, ramble on about meaningless nonsense while listeners get settled in. 2- A story went locally viral yesterday here in central Mississippi about a women named Vicki Davis (she also goes by other names) selling dogs under false pretenses of being tea cup versions and pure blooded mini-breeds when they're actually regular version, imbred and being removed from their mothers at 5-6 weeks instead of 12 weeks. We had 3 different victims call in and tell their stories. 3- We issues a brand new FAFO championship to a dummy that ran from Rankin County cops 4- I go on another rant about the mass sympathy industrial complex insisting that I have to feel sorry for everyone, regardless of how self-inflicted their bad situation is.  

On Thursday, December 19, 2024, deputies with the Rankin County Sheriff's Department in cooperation with the Pearl Police Department arrested Joshua Daniel Pace for Making Terroristic Threats. From approximately 10:13pm yesterday (Wednesday, 12/18/24) to 8:52am on today (Thursday, 12/19/24); the Rankin County Sheriff's Department Communications Division received in excess of 20 phone calls where the 911 Dispatchers were threatened with physical violence and the caller even threatened to “blow up” the sheriff's office. After investigators with the sheriff's office obtained the call recordings and identified the suspect's phone number, Pace was found to be the subscriber. At that time an arrest warrant was sought and obtained for Joshua Pace through the Rankin County Court. Once Pace was taken into custody it was discovered that he was out on Parole through the MS Department of Corrections for Elder Abuse. Joshua Pace is currently being held at the Rankin County Detention Center on $100,000 bond. This is an on-going investigation. The Rankin County Sheriff's Department would like to express its appreciation to the Pearl Police Department for their assistance in capturing Pace.

FLORENCE, Miss. (WLBT) - A man is in custody after a police chase in Rankin County. Tuesday, Florence Police Chief Brad Burns told WLBT 3 On Your Side that officers attempted to make a traffic stop on a 2011 Black GMC Yukon on Highway 49 for improper equipment violations. Chief Burns said that while officers attempted to get the suspect and driver of the vehicle, Thomas Fresquez, out of the vehicle, he took off, and a chase ensued. Florence police said the driver ran multiple red lights into the city of Richland. With Richland PD's assistance, the Yukon was spiked near Kroger, where it was a successful hit as three tires were disabled. A Richland Police K-9 was deployed into the vehicle, and Fresquez was then removed from his vehicle and taken into custody. According to the chief, the man was found to have a large amount of THC wax and three firearms. Fresquez faces multiple charges, including trafficking a controlled substance, felony fleeing, possession of a stolen firearm, possession of marijuana in close proximity of a firearm, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, false information to a law enforcement officer, suspended driver's license, no insurance expired tag, and improper equipment. Fresquez also has a full extradition warrant from Colorado Springs, Colorado. The Mississippi Highway Patrol also assisted with the arrest.

RANKIN COUNTY, Miss. (WLBT) - The Justice Department has opened a civil pattern or practice investigation into Rankin County, Mississippi, and the Rankin County Sheriff's Department. According to the Department of Justice, the investigation “will seek to determine whether RCSD engages in patterns or practices that violate the Constitution and federal law.” The DOJ's investigation came about after obtaining more details and information about the conduct at the department. The investigation will evaluate all types of force used by deputies in Rankin County, including deadly force. It will also assess whether the Rankin County Sheriff's Department engages in unlawful stops, searches, and arrests in violation of the Fourth Amendment and whether the department conducts discriminatory policing in violation of the 14th Amendment, Title VI, and the Safe Streets Act. While this is separate and independent from the prosecutions of the deputies convicted in the assault of Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker, they want to determine if that type of behavior is instilled within the department. “Put simply, the concerns about the Rankin County Sheriff's Department did not end with the demise of the Goon Squad. There is no question that individual officers must be held accountable when they violate the law,” U.S. Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke said. Rankin County officials have pledged their cooperation in this investigation. US. Attorney Todd Gee hopes this will turn a page for Rankin County and the entire state. “We do not have to accept the old hatreds and abuse of the past, and we do not have to accept the false claim that safety comes at the price of a illegal force and abuse of power,” Attorney Gee said. Malik Shabazz, the attorney for Jenkins and Parker, released a statement on the investigation. It states, “This is a first, critical step in cleaning up the Sheriff's Department and holding Rankin County legally accountable for the years of constitutional violations against its citizenry. The torture and abuse of so many took place because, despite innumerable warnings, Rankin County and Sheriff Bailey belligerently refused to properly monitor and supervise this rogue and violent department. Rankin County's liability to its citizenry is much bigger than the ‘Goon Squad' as individuals. The next step for Rankin County is to make its victims whole, and to hopefully start a new chapter in justice.”

Office of Public Affairs | Justice Department Announces Civil Rights Investigation of Rankin County, Mississippi, and Rankin County Sheriff's Department | United States Department of Justice

The Justice Department has launched a civil rights investigation into Rankin County, Mississippi, and its Sheriff's Department to uncover any patterns or practices that violate the Constitution or federal law. It will examine all types of force used by the department, including deadly force, and will assess whether they are unlawful stops, searches, arrests, and racist and discriminatory policing. Attorney Merrick Garland stated that the public is now aware of the heinous attack inflicted on two Black men who were by Rankin County deputies who called themselves the Goon Squad. Those officers have been convicted and sentenced, but they're launching an investigation to examine the allegations that the department systematically violates people's constitutional rights. The investigation follows reports of excessive taser use, unlawful home entries, racial slurs, and cruel tactics used by deputies related to the violent assault of two Black men, Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker. This is the 12th pattern or practice investigation launched by the DOJ under the Biden administration. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - The man described by prosecutors as the ringleader of the Rankin County Goon Squad claims a federal judge sentenced him to an excessive amount of prison time for his role in the rape and torture of two Black men, according to court records filed Wednesday. The attorney for former Rankin County Chief Investigator Brett McAlpin argues that his client was not a member of the squad nor its leader when four other Rankin County deputies and a Richland Police officer responded to a Braxton home in January 2023. The encounter, which involved sexual assault, torture and prolonged bouts of tasing, reached a horrifying climax when former deputy Hunter Elward put his gun inside the mouth of Michael Corey Jenkins and fired, seriously injuring him. McAlpin's appeal concedes he did set everything in motion, however, when he reached out to two different deputies to get them to check out a house for suspicious activity. The 73-page filing, written by attorney Theodore Cooperstein, states McAlpin didn't order anyone to do anything inside the home nor participated, but he was there when most of the violent events took place. The filing also admits McAlpin played a pivotal role in the coverup that followed that night of torture. McAlpin and the five former officers all signed plea agreements with the U.S. Government last year, which waived their right to an appeal. Cooperstein maintains his client is no longer bound by that restriction because the government did not live up to its end of the plea agreement, rendering it null and void. The attorney said the feds didn't dismiss any counts against McAlpin, and because it didn't offer him any benefit for cooperating, the government breached the agreement. Cooperstein said his client also got the second-highest sentence of the six men -- 327 months -- even though his role was not as prominent as anybody else's. Investigators concluded former deputy Jeffrey Middleton was actually in charge of the Goon Squad itself, yet only got 200 months behind bars. Elward nearly killed Jenkins when he shot him in the mouth, yet got roughly two-thirds of McAlpin's sentence. McAlpin's lawyer also claims the government lumped in other cases where McAlpin was accused but never convicted of similar torture incidents and enhanced his penalties based on those unproven claims.

Check of Suspicious Vehicle leads to the Arrest of Copper Thief   On Wednesday, August 21, 2024, at 5:17 am, a deputy assigned to the Rankin County Sheriff's Department Patrol Division observed a black 2011 Nissan Rogue on Hwy 471 near Hwy 25 that appeared to be disabled.   After stopping to check on the driver and any occupants of the vehicle, the deputy noted that although the SUV was unoccupied there were no other suspicious circumstances regarding it. After logging the vehicle information with the sheriff's office dispatch center, he continued with his routine patrol of the area. A short time later the deputy went back to check on the vehicle   again and observed a male walking out from behind a locked gate to a commercial area. The male entered the black SUV and began proceeding northbound on Hwy 471 when the deputy initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle.   During the on-scene investigation by the deputy he was able to identify the driver of the vehicle as Montana Jack Davis and learned that he had trespassed into the commercial area. While interviewing Davis, the deputy noted that there were now multiple items clearly visible inside the SUV including copper wires and tools consistent with burglary and copper theft.   Subsequent investigation by the deputy and investigators with the sheriff's office revealed that Davis had stolen several items of copper wire from the area after burglarizing a semi-truck trailer parked on the property. Once the property owner had been contacted it was discovered that Davis had also stolen a digital security camera and corresponding digital recording device used to monitor the area.   Further interviews with Davis and the execution of the search warrants led sheriff's office investigators to evidence which shows Davis perpetrated two (2) additional copper thefts within city of Brandon and one (1) copper theft within city of Flowood. Montana Jack Davis was arrested and has been charged with multiple counts of Theft and Burglary in addition to Possession of Burglary Tools.   Rankin County as a whole has experienced an increase in the theft of copper and would like to encourage residents who observe any suspicious activity to notify your local police department or the Rankin County Sheriff's

WAPT did a story last night about Rankin County Sheriff K9 officer Tony Shack and his partner VOODOO accusing them of violating a black man's civil rights during a traffic stop, allowing the man to blatantly lie on camera about what happened during the stop.

Well-connected donors, highly placed officials, and popular public figures diverted tens of millions of dollars from the federal government's TANF — temporary assistance for needy families — program until a Republican auditor, his small team of dedicated investigators, and a Democratic prosecutor joined forces to hold them accountable in the face of intense obstruction and harassment. Peopled with unforgettable characters — from the perpetrators; to the impoverished citizens for whom the money was intended; to the investigators, prosecutors, and reporters who held them to account — Mississippi Swindle is a political and true crime drama that highlights larger crises while appealing to a broad nationwide audience. In his time as State Auditor, Shad White's team has stopped the largest public fraud in state history, made the largest civil recovery after an auditor's investigation in the history of the office, and concluded cases that, collectively, led to hundreds of years of prison sentences for fraudsters. White, a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), grew up in Sandersville, Mississippi, population 731, in a blue-collar family. His father and grandfather were oilfield pumpers, and his mother and grandmother were public school teachers. On the weekends, his father was music minister at their small country church, and his mother played the organ. Shad went on to earn degrees from the University of Mississippi, the University of Oxford, where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar, and Harvard Law School. White was appointed the 42nd State Auditor of Mississippi in July 2018 and won election to the office after establishing a tough, no-nonsense reputation. Prior to becoming Auditor, White served as a special prosecutor, won ethics cases against politicians who broke the law, and earned a certificate in forensic accounting (the use of accounting to discover fraud) from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He also serves in the military as a captain in the Mississippi National Guard. Today Shad, his wife Rina and their children live in Rankin County and are faithful members at St. Richard Church.

A brand new F'd around and found out grand champion was crowned in Brandon Monday by the Rankin County Sheriff's Dept. after an idiot decided to ride through there with 44 lbs of meth sitting on his back seat.  

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - House Bill 1020, one of the more controversial bills passed during the 2023 Legislative session, is now in effect. “We're all excited about working with more law enforcement because any time you see blue lights, you're gonna not quite commit the crime,” said Wendell Watts. Previously, the Capitol Complex Improvement District spanned over 8.63 square miles. Now, that coverage area has doubled, giving Capitol Police primary jurisdiction in 15% of Jackson. “We've been building our police force, too,” said Mississippi Department of Public Safety Commissioner Sean Tindell. “We were granted up to 150 officers a year ago, and we've reached that goal. We actually have a couple more than that. So we built that foresight, [and] we've been preparing, and we're ready for the expansion.” So what happens if you call 911 in the new CCID? “911, right now, will go through all of us, Watts explained. “[It] will go through the Jackson Police Department. Now once AT&T is done with the 911 system for Capitol [Police], they will be routed to their dispatch system at that point.” When it comes to the new court system where judges and prosecutors are appointed rather than elected, construction on the new court house and holding facility is still in the works. “I think there were certain aspects of it that was struck down,” Tindell said. “But one of the things that did remain was having the CCID court, which is focused on misdemeanors, preliminary hearings, and bond hearings. Every municipality across the state has one of those.” However, Chief Justice Mike Randolph has yet to appoint a CCID judge at this time, which means the Jackson Municipal Court judges will continue to handle Capitol Police cases. Despite the coordination overlap in dispatch, court hearings, and cases, DPS and JPD feel the transition will be smooth. “I haven't seen that type of collaboration in a very long time,” Watts said. “I think we're going do a lot for the city.” “This is by no means a takeover,” Tindell said. “This is a force multiplier, and law enforcement agencies working together to create a safer city.” _________________________________________________________________   HINDS COUNTY, Miss. — The Hinds County Sheriff's Office is teaming up with Capitol police to launch the "4th of July Holiday Blitz." The operation, which kicks off Wednesday, July 3, and goes through Sunday, July 7, is aimed at enhancing safety and promoting “responsible celebrations during the holiday weekend,” according to a news release from the sheriff. The operation will include saturation patrols across Hinds County to deter criminal activity and enforce traffic laws. Residents can also expect to see traffic safety checkpoints that will target impaired drivers and seat belt violations, among other safety concerns. “Let's celebrate safely,” Sheriff Tyree Jones said. “Designate a sober driver, buckle up and enjoy the holiday responsibly.” ___________________________________________________________________   JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - A former Pearl police chief who was the subject of a 3 On Your Side investigation into possible misuse of Rankin County tax dollars now has a high-ranking role at one state agency while he's being investigated by another. The Department of Public Safety confirmed Dean Scott started working for Capitol Police on July 1. Spokesperson Bailey Martin said Scott was hired as a lieutenant and will be over communications and dispatch but did not disclose his salary. The average annual pay for a lieutenant with Capitol Police is approximately $70,000, according to records WLBT obtained from the Mississippi State Personnel Board. “With the growth of Capitol Police, the department is continuing to build its team and seeking experienced law enforcement officers to meet the demands of the expanding district,” Martin said in a statement to WLBT. “Dean Scott's former experience in communications will be an asset as a Dispatch Supervisor.”

Investigative journalists Brian Howey and Nate Rosenfield join Adam Ganucheau to discuss their latest report on the Rankin County Sheriff Department's “Goon Squad.” The reporters discuss shocking new internal police communications they obtained and published, and they discuss the importance of the ongoing reporting.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In 03/16/24. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS The spring equinox is three days away, and this will be the first time in decades that Daniel Gwynn will experience the conclusion of the winter season from some place other than death row. He was convicted of murder for a 1994 house fire where a female was killed. Philadelphia District Attorneys acknowledged Gwynn did not receive a just trial and the evidence against Gwynn was lacking. Speaking of brotherly love, Former President Donald J. Trump and current President Joe Biden both became the formal nominees for the 2024 presidential election. Gus T. predicts 4 more years of Trump. We'll also review the charges against Suspected Race Solider, Michael Christian Green, who plead guilty to forcing a black male to lick urine from the floor of a Mississippi holding cell. This took place in the City of Pearl, which is very close to Rankin County, where the White "goon squad" officers poured chocolate syrup on a pair of black males before attempting to use a dildo on the duo. #DanielGwynn #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943# #SegregatedSkies

Dr. Phil drops a nuke on the host of the view concerning school closures during covid 4. Naked & Afraid star "Heather Smith" joins the show for the better part of the hour #2 to discuss road tripping through the south with Ashley Jones, being a reality tv star and how important it is to get your daughter (and sons) into the outdoors and learning survival skills. 5. An Ohio high-school lined up and pepper sprayed a bunch of 11th graders to teach the the consequences of FAFO'ing with the police.
