Mayor of Jackson, Miss., Is Indicted on Federal Corruption Charges
The mayor and two other local officials pleaded not guilty on Thursday after being accused of taking part in a scheme in which F.B.I. agents posing as real estate developers offered bribes.
they could literally target any politician in america and do this same BS successfully, but they chose the progressive black mayor in the most racist state in the nation to target. coincidence? I think not.

Not if the politician doesn't take bribes?
Like I'm not saying they don't target black "progressive" mayors more (lol they did the same to the mayor of my city years ago), but the mayors are taking the bribes.
And Jackson is so deeply mismanaged that the feds had to take over their water system a couple years back because they were failing to deliver safe water to the residents, and in a state capitol no less. The issues were lack of maintenance and inefficient spending. I think the feds are figuring out that the rot is coming from the top.
the fact that you don't recognize that this matches the million other times in the past they have used these exact excuses to enact a right wing racist agenda for seizing power is incredibly disheartening.
