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.

Why do people vote for these terrible people
If this is true….this man should be thrown out of office. Has zero to do with color……as with our president..it is about the content of his character. If this is true…this man’s character is in the gutter at best and non-existent at worst.
the kkayor of baltiore said it was ok also
Why just a probe? Put him outside and let the cops throw rocks and bottles at him. Bet he would change his tune then. Dumbass
He’s bigger target so I’d be very careful what’s said.
probe he should be arrested
IF A WHITE PERSON HAD SAID ANYTHING CLOSE TO WHAT HE HAD TO SAY, THERE WOULD BE HELL TO PAY, “SHARTON” BAD WHITE FOLKS………..
He should be kicked off his council seat and barred from ever running again.
Just another worthless$#%&!@*!
he should be fired.
