Published on 01/03/2016
Mississippi Councilman Kenneth Stokes wants people to throw rocks and bricks at cops chasing suspects wanted for misdemeanor crimes. Stokes said he’s had enough and that police pursuits put area residents in danger.
“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,” Stokes told WLBT-3 News on Thursday.
