Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Mississippi sheriff's deputies fired after Black men allege torture and attempted sexual assault in $400 million lawsuit WWW.NBCNEWS.COM One of the men was nearly killed when an officer put a gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger, the lawsuit says. Quote A Mississippi sheriff’s department said Tuesday it had fired multiple deputies after two Black men accused them in a federal lawsuit of beating, torturing and sexually violating them. One of the men was nearly killed when an officer put a gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger, the lawsuit says. The two men, Michael Jenkins, 32, and Eddie Parker, 35, filed the $400 million federal lawsuit against the Rankin County Sheriff's Department this month. The lawsuit describes the deputies’ alleged actions as “one of the worst and most bizarre incidents of police misconduct in United States history.” “Due to recent developments, including findings during our internal investigation, those deputies that are still employed by this department have all been terminated,” Sheriff Bryan Bailey said Tuesday, reading from a prepared statement. The department declined to say how many deputies were fired. Quote The lawsuit alleges that the officers lobbed race-based insults at the men and angrily accused them of dating white women. They allegedly handcuffed and beat the men before they shot them with Tasers 20 to 30 times “in a sadistic contest with each other as to which Taser would be most effective when fired against these two victims,” according to court documents. The officers then put the two men on their backs and poured water on their faces in an effort to waterboard them, the lawsuit claims, before they sexually assaulted them with a sex toy. Multiple deputies put their guns to the men’s heads and threatened to kill them, the lawsuit says. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 14, 2023 Author Share Posted August 14, 2023 Six former Mississippi officers plead guilty to state charges for torturing two Black men APNEWS.COM Six white former Mississippi law officers who tortured two Black men have pleaded guilty to state-level charges. Quote Six white former Mississippi law officers pleaded guilty on Monday to state charges for torturing two Black men in a racist assault. All six had recently admitted their guilt in a connected federal civil rights case. Prosecutors say some of the officers nicknamed themselves the “Goon Squad” because of their willingness to use excessive force and cover up attacks including the assault that ended with a deputy shooting one victim in the mouth. In January, the officers entered a house without a warrant and handcuffed and assaulted the two men with stun guns, a sex toy and other objects. The officers mocked them with racial slurs throughout a 90-minute torture session, then devised a cover-up that included planting drugs and a gun, leading to false charges that stood against the victims for months. Their conspiracy unraveled after one of the officers told the sheriff he had lied, leading to confessions from the others. The charges against the victims weren’t dropped until June, after federal and state investigators got involved, according to their attorney. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
