JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Two Black men who were tortured by six Mississippi law enforcement officers called on a federal judge Monday to impose the harshest possible penalties against the disgraced former lawmen.

The former law officers admitted in August to subjecting Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker to numerous acts of racially motivated, violent torture.

Prompted by a neighbor’s complaint in January 2023 that Jenkins and Parker were staying in a home with a white woman, the group of six burst in without a warrant and assaulted Jenkins and Parker with stun guns, a sex toy and other objects.

After a mock execution went awry when Jenkins was shot in the mouth, they devised a coverup that included planting drugs and a gun. The Rankin County Sheriff’s Department then supported the deputies’ false charges, which stood against Jenkins and Parker for months.

This is so barbaric, most people can't imagine it happening in the 21st century America. But in reality, this is not unheard of in many parts of rural America.

And it's not all racial:


"Alan Schmidt stands next to Interstate 20 in Jackson, Miss., where he says Rankin County sheriffs deputies assaulted him in December 2022."

NYT:
In an interview with The Times and Mississippi Today last week, Mr. Schmidt spoke publicly for the first time about what happened in December 2022 when a Rankin County deputy pulled him over for driving with an expired tag.

According to the federal indictment, deputies Christian Dedmon, Hunter Elward and Daniel Opdyke arrived at the scene shortly afterward. Two other deputies, including the one who pulled Mr. Schmidt over, were also present throughout the arrest, Mr. Schmidt said. Neither has been criminally charged.

Mississippi? I am shocked that such could happen in Mississippi.

 

[rightwinger]

Even in Mississippi, the judge will throw the book at them

 

[deannalw]

If true- throw them under the prison

 

[1srelluc]

I heard at least one got 20 years. I don't know if they were tried together or not.

NOT THE GEORGE FLOYD or RITTENHOUSE THREAD Off Topic Deleted White 6. The rights of police officers are at question in America.

Of course they will. Just because someone is from Mississippi, it doesnt make them racist.

well, they were with a white woman, so it is ok to sodomize them , isn't it?

jesus. what year is this?

 

[whitehall]

The former officers have been arrested. The system works despite fake outrage by the race baiters. Who do we see about the unarmed white female Veteran who was shot and killed by a black Capital officer on Jan 6?

 

[playtime]

harshest penalties AND release them into the prison's general population.

 

[0311]

Of course they will. Just because someone is from Mississippi, it doesnt make them racist.

Very true, but given the very dark history of racism and has in the past a history of "Sun Down Towns" and it is the state in which 3-Civil Workers were killed in 1960's.

harshest penalties AND release them into the prison's general population.

GenPop Justice works for me.

Who's saying it was ok?

This sort of police conduct represents like .00000000001 of police action.

Guess its more of a power trip for some of these cops, feeling they can do whatever they want in that uniform. While I imagine, it can be more prevalent in small rural towns because of the isolation, I still wouldnt paint with a broad brush. There's always going to be cops who joined for the wrong reasons.

who's saying otherwise?

 

[Donald H]

Of course they will. Just because someone is from Mississippi, it doesnt make them racist.

Actually it does for the large majority, but also true of most of the other southern states. Listen to the attempts of some who are already trying to distance themselves from this police brutality, but also recall the exaggerated racist remarks from the exact same racists.

The fact is, most of then have made it perfectly clear that they want to proudly own racism.

Is this their opportunity at repenting or is it their attempt at damage control?

Let's just enjoy the moment by listening to their excuses!

This sort of police conduct represents like .00000000001 of police action.

It seems to people that its more prevalent because only bad things make the news. Meanwhile, across the country, there are tens of thousands of police interactions with the public going on every day.
