NAACP SUES Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves For 'Separate But Unequal Policing' | Roland Martin

The NAACP is suing Mississippi's governor and other officials over a new law that expands the jurisdiction of the state-run Capitol Police in Jackson, Mississippi, and creates a temporary court within a Capitol Complex Improvement District covering a portion of Jackson. The NAACP says the law will create separate and unequal policing in the majority-Black capital and violate the principle of self-government by taking control of the police and some courts out of the hands of residents. The new law allows people convicted in the Capitol Complex Improvement District Court to be put in a state prison rather than in a city or county jail, and the judge of the new court is not required to live in Jackson and will be appointed by the Mississippi Supreme Court chief justice. A majority-white and Republican-controlled state House and Senate passed the legislation. Democrats govern Jackson, and about 83% of residents are Black, the most significant percentage of any major U.S. city. The governor has faced criticism for his handling of crime in the city, which has had more than 100 homicides in each of the past three years. The NAACP's lawsuit seeks to block the law that violates the Voting Rights Act and the Fourteenth Amendment. Mississippi State Senator Juan Barnett spoke with Roland Martin during Wednesday's edition of Roland Martin Unfiltered about the lawsuit and Republicans attempt to institute "separate but unequal policing". this channel to get access to perks:    / @rolandsmartin   Support #RolandMartinUnfiltered and #BlackStarNetwork via the Cash App ☛ https://cash.app/$rmunfiltered PayPal ☛ https://www.paypal.me/rmartinunfiltered Venmo ☛https://venmo.com/rmunfiltered Zelle ☛ roland@rolandsmartin.com Annual or monthly recurring #BringTheFunk Fan Club membership via paypal ☛ https://rolandsmartin.com/rmu-paypal/ Download the #BlackStarNetwork app on iOS, AppleTV, Android, Android TV, Roku, FireTV, SamsungTV and XBox 👉🏾 http://www.blackstarnetwork.com #RolandMartinUnfiltered and the #BlackStarNetwork are news reporting platforms covered under Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
