Two competing proposals under consideration by the Republican-led, majority-white state Legislature would expand the Capitol Police’s jurisdiction in the majority-Black city. One of the proposals, which passed the House this month, would have diverted the criminal cases of people arrested by the Capitol Police to a new state-run court outside the city’s control, a move that sparked an uproar from Jackson’s legislators and mayor. A Senate committee removed that provision Thursday, but Jackson’s mayor, Chokwe Antar Lumumba, still objects to giving the Capitol Police more territory, calling it an “obvious attack on Black leadership” in an interview Friday. เว็บบอล77
