Rev. Sharpton to deliver eulogy at Dexter Wade’s funeral
SUMMARY: Reverend Al Sharpton is set to deliver the eulogy for Dexter Wade at his funeral at New Horizon Church International in Jackson, Miss., on November 20. Wade was fatally struck by a Jackson police cruiser in March and was subsequently buried in an unmarked pauper's grave without his family's knowledge until August. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump released initial autopsy results by Dr. Frank Peretti showing multiple blunt force injuries and indicated Wade's body was run over and not embalmed. Sharpton and Crump have urged the Justice Department to investigate the Jackson Police Department's actions surrounding Wade's death.

SUMMARY: Mississippi's economy is thriving with many job openings, but not enough people to fill them. Occupations in high demand include registered nurses, fast food workers, retail sales, general managers, first-line supervisors, and physicians. The state has a low unemployment rate, with jobs available in various sectors including healthcare, manufacturing, education, retail, transportation, and public administration. The mass exodus of Baby Boomers, early retirements, and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic have contributed to the mismatch between job openings and applicants. Experts note a shortage of workers in the hospitality industry and believe that many who left the job market are now returning.

SUMMARY: The Columbus Police Department is cracking down on crime with Operation T-B.O.N.E, targeting neighborhoods to reduce violence. The recent arrest of two brothers for possession of stolen firearms and drugs prompted the involvement of their mother in the investigation. Chief Joseph Daughtry emphasized the importance of community involvement, urging people to provide tips and information to help combat crime. The CPD is increasing patrols in high-crime areas and making more traffic stops, aiming to make it uncomfortable for criminals. The slogan “Tippin' ain't snitchin'” underscores the importance of reporting criminal activity without fear of retaliation.
