An investigation is being launched into comments made by Jackson Councilman Kenneth Stokes, who suggested that people get together and throw rocks, bricks and bottles at police officers who come into Jackson looking for criminals.
Mississippi Governor, Phil Bryant condemned the recent remarks on Saturday and called for an investigation to determine whether Stokes’s comments represent criminal threats against law enforcement officers. He took to social media on Saturday to let people know that the councilman’s comments won’t go without consequences.
While it’s great that Bryant is addressing these comments, what he really should be investigating is how a man like Kenneth Stokes was elected, and the state of the community that elected him. The councilman’s comments go beyond a mere disliking of police officers and well into the realm of promoting anarchy and igniting a race war.

It is 100% true, he said it.
I used to feel bad about people getting beat in the st but after recent events I’m having to kind of side with the cops now! Throwing rocks and bricks at the police is not going to help anybody they get more people killed or beat!
he looks black and retarded, nigtard.
And they will shoot you, go ahead.
No probe needed. Arrest him for hate crime.
Good. This is a very stupid man who thinks he can get away with saying anything he wants.
he needs to be taken out of his position immediately and brought up on charges of instigating unlawful behavior. And held accountable for any injuries any law enforcement sustains because of his words.
This one needs to spend time on jail
Extreme idiot!
Why are all these lunatics liberals and/or Democrats ?
