Meridian Mayor Jimmie Smith hired a qualified and strong police chief last year in Chris Read. A few months later, the woke City Council of the Mississippi town vetoed the hiring, going with Chief Deborah Young to try to control the gang-infested city of around 40,000 people.
It isn’t working out as planned.
According to WTOK, a gang fight at the high school prompted the cancelation of Friday’s football game:
Meridian High School revealed that there was an incident at Meridian High on Friday, September 9th. Out of an abundance of caution and for the safety of the students and fans, the decision was made to cancel the football game between the Wildcats and West Lauderdale according to Meridian High School.
It was announced earlier on Friday that originally no fans were permitted at the game before updating that the game itself had been canceled.
Decisions about who to lead a law enforcement department should be based on qualities, qualifications, and dedication to the job. By those standards, Chris Read was ideal. But the woke City Council had other criteria in mind such as diversity and equity so they chose someone less qualified and competent to meet their progressive standards.
Now, the city of Meridian must suffer for the City Council’s wokeness.
Covid variant BA.5 is spreading. It appears milder but much more contagious and evades natural immunity. Best to boost your immune system with new Z-Dtox and Z-Stack nutraceuticals from our dear friend, the late Dr. Vladimir Zelenko.
We get the leadership in small towns, big cities, states and in the WH that we deserve. At some point in time (hopefully before it’s too late) the ‘silent majority’ will be forced to make some hard choices: Remove our self-inflicted muzzles and put foot to pavement to eliminate liberal WOKE ideologies or surrender to socialism. There is no middle ground. Liberals are keenly aware of the importance of social issues, hence their focus. RINO Republicans can easily be spotted by their avoidance of these issues (most of which they agree with as UniParty members) and should be voted out by constituencies at the first opportunity.
It’s our country we’re talking about here.
Blacks continue to show how corrosive their culture is to society.
Just more WOKE BS

WHO WOULDA’ THOUGHT?
I used to stop in Meridian when driving from Texas to the East Coast. Next time I’ll just wait a few more exits.
Need to know something more about the individual city council members. Only then may we make comments about their professionalism and their actions.
