Mississippi Councilman Publicly Supports Violence Against Police Officers

On Thursday, Jackson Ward 3 Councilman Kenneth Stokes actually suggested throwing rocks and bricks at police officers. Why? He’s sick and tired of them chasing misdemeanor suspects through his city. The police are “endangering our children” or something.

Yes really.

“My position is this: When you have these police officers coming from other jurisdictions and they will not respect human life, then I said we should use rocks, bricks or bottles to try to get the message over: stop endangering our children,” Stokes said. “Now I have supported police officers in police departments all over this state from when I was a (Hinds County) supervisor when we voted for new cars and equipment for police officer. I opened and closed the last council meeting an honor of an officer who had died. I have named streets after officers in this city.”

I’m sure DeRay McKesson is wiping away tears of joy.

“What I suggest is we get the black leadership together, and as these jurisdictions come into Jackson we throw rocks and bricks and bottles at them. That will send a message we don’t want you in here,” Stokes said.

Thankfully, the police aren’t afraid of this delusional councilman and his ridiculous, disrespectful threats.

“Any Madison County law enforcement that is attacked because your ignorant statements, I will hold you responsible,” Madison County Sheriff Randy Tucker said. “I fully intend to contact the MS (Mississippi) Attorney General and inquire if your statements constitute assaults on officers by threat.”

How did Stokes ever get a position in leadership? Serious question. I don’t get it.
