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.

2 Black men tortured by Mississippi officers call for toughest sentences

Six former Mississippi law enforcement officers who pleaded guilty to a long list of state and federal charges for torturing two Black men will be sentenced by a federal judge starting Tuesday.

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.

I was tortured in the most vile way in the 1990s, as a skinny 17 year old. Two sick proud Gestapo cops held me against the wall while the third "detective" pulled my pants down and banged a stick between my knees and up into my scrotum 3-4 times to get me to "talk". I was also rendered deaf in one ear with a constant ringing from that day forward, it has never stopped ringing.

The sickos involved in this have happily retired, nary a days pay lost. THAT is Canada then, and I presume in some corners, now.

One of these days G-d will cut them down...

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!

There should be no excuse for those actions. Throw the book at them and make an example of them. thats what will happen.

[shockedcanadian]

Yeah you laugh. Is that your discomfort in knowing such people exist in your vocation or do you also enjoy sadistic abuses of the young?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The rights of police officers are at question in America.

They have the right to follow the law.

They have no other right.

 

[Lord Long Rod]

Yeah you laugh. Is that your discomfort in knowing such people exist in your vocation or do you also enjoy sadistic abuses of the young?

I am not a cop. I wonder what you did to cause the police to rough you up.

That would be relevant if we could trust you.
But after your whopper on two plain clothes police officers in a hospital lineup, brfore and after you, you blew it. Now it's only being seen as your paranoia and psychosis.

No, the incident didn't happen!

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

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.

Did you read the story? I can help deflate your argument.

from the NYT:

Last November, The New York Times and Mississippi Today published an investigation revealing that for nearly two decades, deputies in the Rankin sheriff department, many of whom called themselves the Goon Squad, would barge into homes in the middle of the night, handcuff people and torture them for information or confessions.

In the pursuit of drug arrests, the deputies rammed a stick down one man’s throat until he vomited, dripped molten metal onto another man’s skin and held people down and beat them until they were bloody and bruised...

Many of those who said they had experienced violence filed lawsuits or formal complaints ...A few said they had contacted Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey directly, only to be ignored.

and... Goon Squad Officers Face Sentencing in Mississippi Torture Cases

The sheriff’s department in Rankin County, a suburban community just outside Jackson, came to national attention last year after five Rankin County deputies and a Richland Police detective raided the home of Eddie Parker, 36, and his friend, Michael Jenkins, 33, following a tip about suspicious activity.

The officers handcuffed and tortured the men by shocking them repeatedly with Tasers, beating them and sexually assaulting them with a sex toy. Mr. Elward put his gun into Mr. Jenkins’s mouth and shot him, shattering his jaw and nearly killing him.

I have no problem with locking them up. The flip side is the law goes both ways

 

[deannalw]

The most heinous thing about this, is the amount of years this was allowed to go on.

Not months, not years, but decades.

Shame.

 

[Meathead]

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

Yeah, but what about the ones that got away after doing those horrible things to the black fag in Chicago?

 

[shockedcanadian]

I am not a cop. I wonder what you did to cause the police to rough you up.

I was polite, said "yes sir, no sir" while in their precinct. Trusting in police. They were the good guys, right? When I watched GI Joe and the A-Team and other shows, the good guys didnt abuse others, they were noble and followed the law. How naive was I. As naive as one could be.

My sin was not ratting out on some loogans, ironically and perhaps fittingly for a system like ours which models East Germany too often; the fools I was being silent about were undercovers. THEY were the criminals and ringleaders of the trouble in my community and elsewhere.

The irony of a system that would make Himmler proud cannot go unnoticed by even amateur historians.

Trump has lit Mississippi on fire again, but unfortunately he's still the best choice for president. I have to make peace with Russia my priority over the useless attempt to stop racism in America.

You're something else.

 

[Zincwarrior]

First sentencing so far is 20 years. Others will be sentenced at different times this week.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

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

Welcome to your cutting-edge world of 1955.

 

[Curried Goats]

Who says anyone is. I am just point out a fact, you fucking weirdo!

Were you though? Looks like you were doing a hyperbolic defense of police with a number you pulled out of your ass that you're now trying to present as a fact.
