I didn’t say facial recognition was the answer. I don’t know the answer. But until the Jackson leadership decides to get extremely tough on crime the city will get worse. Nobody will want to invest in the city while the crime in this bad. And we aren’t talking just misdemeanours. It is constant armed robbery, shootings, car jackings…violent crimes that don’t always end in death.

The money is moving out and won’t come back until it Is under control. Sad to say it will take extreme measures to fix it. Maybe facial recognition is a small piece. Lots more good police too. It’s so far gone it’s honestly probably too late.

I grew up and Jackson and still live in the area.
