Everyone in the metro area knows the reputation of the police in Rankin county. If the tax payers end up having to fork over tens of millions of dollars, maybe they will reconsider making their officers accountable to the law. This case has legs, in spite of what commenters said on the previous post, the story the police gave is just not very believable. Karma is a bitch and the thug cops have a lot to atone for.

"Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey did not exactly give a strong defense of the deputies in question:"

That's a bullshit comment, Kingfish. It's not the sheriff's position to 'defend' as the entire matter has been turned over to another department for investigation. How the hell do you suggest he might 'give a strong defense', when he's not in a position of leading an investigation?

Everybody and his brother (and mother) want to get in on the lawsuit-wagon after what occurred in Memphis. It's not the pursuit of justice. It's the pursuit of money. And the ambulance chasers are at the head of that line. Git some for momma and gimme my cut.

Hell is too good for these piggies. Congratulations Rankin, you now have a brand new owner. I’m sure Mr. Jenkins will show you the same respect you showed him.

What possible story can these officers give that makes it ok to hold a gun down a suspects throat and blow the back of his head out. These assholes would make the cartel blush. All of this was for a simple drug possession charge? Hopefully the protesters that descend on Brandon will help teach them a couple things about the constitutional rights all Americans are supposed to be given.

Skeptical

Not good.

There are 2 sides to every story, but some of these police officers act like they are at war. They don't remember they are civilian law enforcement agency

Stankin Rankin County is about to go through some things.

Shabazz - a racist that is so extreme, the SPLC gave him his own page.

Hope they get everything coming to them. bad cops are the worst of our kind. I assure you, the Sheriff and the entire department will do everything they can to first protect the deputies, then, only if and when forced, allow the system to work against them. we've given too much power to the police. There needs to be an ombudsman type agency with prosecutorial authority of its own imbedded within each agency allowed to policy citizens with powers of arrest.

I’m sure the Sheriff, a congressman and a former chancery clerk will get the story straight at McLains Saturday morning at breakfast.

It’s going to be tough for these thugs to come up with a believable story for how this man had a gun out down his throat. I’m sure the good sheriff worked on it for a couple days and came up blank. That thin blue line breaks down pretty quick when actual consequences for your actions are on the table. These evil pieces of shit could have a few pages worth of charges against them: hate crimes, kidnapping, attempted murder, falsifying police reports, lynching, torture, assault, breaking and entering, falsifying evidence. I’m not sure there’s a law they didn’t break.

This will get resolved in favor of the officers. If this were a legitimate case of milk-boarding (I mean, come on), a claimant wouldn't hire Shabazz. And the S.O. would've already settled. I'm not sure how the guy got shot, but I suspect it was due to him resisting.

Clean the macho men & women out of the Rankin Sheriff office & the Pearl Police.

What do the body cameras show? With 6 officers there must be video right? Sheriff gonna have some explaining to do if there is no body camera footage...Accountability...Interesting story

Waterboarding is not considered torture if milk is used.

@2:29 - your sole reason listed for believing the ridiculous police story is that you don’t like the lawyer the victim hired. Say that out loud a few times and see if it doesn’t sound dumb when you hear it.

@2:46. Psssstt. Technology is so great now. All they have to do is get the 6 officer's cell phones and determine pictures taken, text messages sent, calls made immediately after. Didn't we just hear a story just like this.....hmmmm. the Memphis 6 officers- took pictures and sent text messages after the beating. Let's just wait for the phones to tell us a story before we get ahead of ourselves. The body camera footage would put all this to bed (cough, if there is any footage)

@2:54 PM - You are correct. I repeated what you penned and it sounds dumb.

@2:07 - and yet not half as racist as the Rankin County Sheriffs. Maybe they can get their own hate group page, I’m sure they would be honored.

Everyone is so quick to blame the officers. I am betting some of this is cooked up by Shabazz and Co. to "show Rankin County". The radical lawyers like Shabazz have been itching for some reason to have a publicity stunt against Rankin County for years. I would wait for all the facts to come out before passing judgement. Like him or hate him Bryan Bailey runs a tight ship both in his jurisdiction and on his officers. The reason he made such a broad statement is because words get twisted, you have a yahoo attorney as the face of this, and no matter what you say, you'll be wrong.

It is amazing how frequently body cams quit working at just the time you need them. Probably made in China.

If they weren't guilty the deputies wouldn't have arrested them. Period. Besides, they even gave them some milk to drink as they were thirsty.

This is a known drug house that has been a menace to the neighborhood for years. There was a homicide there a couple of years ago. I doubt this fella is anywhere near the saint that he claims to be. I’m sure the facts will come out.

I stopped reading at Malik Shabazz.

Rankin SO, and especially Pearl, are the most psycho violent Leo’s we have around here. I have a video on my office desk right now that I’m struggling over the decision of whether or not to put it in the hands of the media. Body Cams and Dash cams of a brutal ass kicking and tazing. Including all the shit talking before and after the beating and the play by play description after other officers arrived. Absolute savages.

@3:14 - the officers could clear this up real quick by releasing the body cam footage. I assure you the feds have that footage if the officers had their cameras turned on, so the fact that they opened a civil rights investigation points to the victim’s statement being factual. If they didn’t turn on their cameras, it points to a willful plan to torture and murder these men so it’s going to be impossible to believe the officers’ story. I can’t think of any reasonable explanation for a police officer to have their gun in the mouth of a handcuffed suspect. This is looking like the worst case of police torture that has come to light. Couldn’t have happened to a better bunch.

I'm not saying the cops are innocent. I am saying it is dumb to hire someone like this to be your lawyer. https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/malik-zulu-shabazz

I don’t trust RCSD or that clown Shabazz. But this is about the only time the community comes together and can produce witnesses and that they saw everything.

What makes you think there is body cam footage?

KF, I doubt there is body cam footage. Body cams only work correctly when the bad guys do something to cops. Nice vice versa.

But seriously, what law enforcement agency chooses not to have body cams nowadays? Especially when they raid a house. RCSO has the resources to equip a swat team that the marines would be jealous of, so surely they can afford top notch cameras.

Time will tell.

The days of getting away with this stuff are over, Memphis is all that is in the news but a cop just got arrested in Shreveport for shooting an unarmed man. This isn’t the first time it’s happened it’s just the first time one is being charged . I am willing to bet he just got scared and his training failed him. This on the other hand looks more like the Louisiana State Police with cops gone Rouge. Regardless of who their lawyer is, it looks like these guys might get justice.

Don't believe a word of it.

Ever since a good friend of mine, a woman in her 70s with terminal cancer, had a no knock raid executed on her house in brandon for possession of Marijuana, I haven’t stepped foot in that hell hole of a county. Their officers are a savage gang with no accountability, this shouldn’t be happening in a first world country.

Looks like Bryan Bailey is going to have to forfeit some of that seized lucre and maybe even sell his beloved MRAP to pay a settlement to this innocent African American victim.

Skeptical and waiting for facts.

Alex, I’ll take “things that didn’t happen”
For $500

Say want you want but 3 words tell me the Feds have something, “color of law” .

Shit, I'm surprised at the number of posts against the RCSO. Are any of you familiar with the name Shabazz? Have any of you heard stories like this that sound familiar? In the vast majority of those cases, did the plaintiff's cases turn out to be true? I mean, damn! Play me once, shame on you. Play me 243 times, shame on me.

This exact scenario has been played to death. "We were sitting at home, listening to classical music and having a bible study, and these 6 white police officers broke down our door and shot us....." Let's wait to see what the investigation reveals. With Shabazz involved, the only thing I can almost guarantee right off the bat is that all the deputies are white.

Consider me highly skeptical of anything Shabazz says. New Black Panther extremist.
Total racist, black nationlist sensationalist.
Where the hell did he get a law degree?!

Shabazz is trying to ride the Memphis Police wave and cash in.

Same song, different verse. I remember Carlos Moore representing a family when their son was killed by a police officer in Tupelo. Moore showed the autopsy pictures and claimed the stiches where the guy was sowed up after the autopsy was where the cops dog was biting him. It was confirmed the dog didn't have teeth. The dog literally did not have teeth. So, there are two sides to a story. I suggest people wait and hear the defense and their side.

I’ve had my run ins with Pearl PD & RCSO when I was a wild child Pearl was overly aggressive as a youngster. I couldn’t see Rankin County pulling anything this extreme. If they did, I simply don’t want to live here anymore. I’m a privileged white male and ANYONE with a brain can tell it’s just a matter of time until they come after us
(white people) with some craziness —and to hell with that.

I truly hope this is hysterics for money. Medical records don’t lie.

Dipshit gives Carpet Baggers a new name. Lulz.

Watching the Fondren froliquors and the incredibly sensitive shots from this so-called attorney (you all should be ashamed to allow this) abuse the legal system should be of no surprise. This thread is a perfect example of what is wrong.

End state, same shit, same attorneys.

Waterboarding with milk? There is no future for those deputies in the CIA.

When the above happens and this https://www.al.com/news/2023/02/mentally-ill-inmate-tased-frozen-to-death-in-alabama-jail-suit-alleges.html, e-31, a Trooper shooting a dog because, well just because, the Kosciusko Trooper domestic assault, the booneville officer sexual assault, the Hancock County MHP officer assaulting a Justice court clerk, it really brings to the forefront the excesses of the police and what they think they can get away from.

Handcuffed, beaten, tortured AND "racial slurs were used". Which one of these things is not like the others ?

The niknar deputies have a reputation of entering without a warrant. I have seen it happen.
nuff said.

Whether the claims are true or not. The militarization of our police is contrary to the ideals of the founding of this nation. They don’t need armored personnel carriers, or door-breaching vehicles like “The Rook” and they damn sure don’t need to be dressing up and pretending to be John Krasinski in 13 hours or Jack Ryan

To all of the Rankin haters.

Feel free to stay on your side of the river.

@10:26

Our founding fathers were fearless and brilliant but they had no crystal ball to anticipate the lawlessness one of our major political parties now embraces that is destroying our beloved country.

To February 18, 2023 at 11:01 AM Delete


Amen.

Some of the deputies have faced some very serious charges in the past. One of which involves entering the wrong home in a no-knock raid without a warrant and beating the home owner, his father and a woman that was trying to protect her child.

They issued an "oops I'm sorry" and asked for qualified immunity.

I agree with other the other comments that these are alarming examples of police militarization.

Feds opened a civil rigths investigation because it is the republican strong hold county in the state. Same situation, no case would have been opened in Hinds or most other counties. Not taking a position on whether LEO did something wrong, but you know Benny's guys pushed this because of the county.

Why is it when RCSO arrests someone from Jackson committing a crime and RCSO does their job, everyone in Jackson is up in arms?

RCSO is an excellent police operation and if you don’t like law enforcement, stay your ass in Jackson. You are more than welcome to commit as many crimes as you want without enforcement and prosecution.

If milk is used for waterboarding it isn't considered excess force.

New DPS commissioner said he’ll naw and tossed this case to the Feds.

Everyone is hacking on Shabazz… but did you see Trent Walker is in it too? I know Trent personally and professionally and have never heard anyone say anything negative about him. The inference is that if someone hires Shabazz that means they have no valid claim? I live in Rankin and consider myself pro-Leo’s but this sounds like the typical thing I hear all the time about Leo’s beating people in Rankin.. It’s exhausting reading all the ignorant “back the blue” type comments on here. If you think everyone who is arrested is guilty then you are also saying that JPD and others have a 100% accuracy rate in solving crimes? And if the person is arrested then they deserve some type of maltreatment by officers even though they have not been convicted of anything?

@Tip O’Neil , nailed it sir .

"Shabazz said the bullet exited through that section of the neck."

Bullsh!t... it would have blown his damn ear off!

Move along & try to collect your check another way

That two sentence statement the Sheriff put out tells me this is serious! He would normally have chew in talking big and bad .

Lots of unfounded accusations.

Let’s see that ballistics test from the weapon or weapons that were supposedly discharged. This would be a good starting point.

This racist a-hole shows up with this “victim” and his emotional mama and nothing else?

I’m NO fan of RCSD, but I just don’t believe a word of this.

Medical records will clear this up real quick.

"...suffered permanent cognitive damage."

Lead isn't the only thing that causes cognitive damage. More often, drugs do. And how did Shazzam (sorry, Shabazz), educated as an attorney, manage to diagnose cognitive damage?

It was comical to notice that the parishioner in the orange shirt was wearing a tie - first time since he won the sword-drills at the Baptist church where he won a perfect attendance pin.

Momma already been to three automobile dealerships...just lookin'.

@7:55 - I can help explain that for you. The victim was probably diagnosed with the brain damage by one of the many doctors who worked on him to save his life. He had a bullet go through his neck and had his tongue cut out. I’m guessing multiple tasers, torture, and gun shot wounds typically cause some medical issues. You see, typically lawyers like to get opinions from qualified professionals. When there is a medical issue, that professional would be a medical doctor.

10:10 - Since the keywords in your testimony are 'probably' and 'guessing', have you been paid by the plaintiff's attorney to offer that conjecture? Yes or No. No further questions.

If an indictment comes out of this it will break the blue wall. Which would be amazing. If someone gives up the two named deputies, the others better too or they might be looking at charges too. My guess is that all of them will eventually charged. It’s hard to get 2 people to tell the same story much less six, plus add in the cover up. Are they going to claim the gun accidentally went off in his mouth?

Please don't confuse this with what happened in Memphis. Those were thugs that happened to be police officers. That was a personal thing between Tyre Nichols and one of the cops. The thing is they used the color of law to take care of personal business. That ignites the issue here and should be called what it is. Sometimes cops become thugs. More times than not though a thug becomes a cop. They will always get weeded out, but it makes the barrel look tainted.

@10:41 - You seem to be confused. I am not testifying at a trial, I am posting about common sense on an anonymous blog. It’s too bad that is needed, but who doesn’t know that a doctor diagnoses medical issues? I’m honestly not sure how some commenters here manage to feed themselves every day.

@1:00 - what exactly makes the cops in Memphis “thugs”? Since the Rankin cops are accused of breaking into a home without a warrant, kidnapping two black men, torturing them, and then attempting to murder them, how is that not thuggish enough for your definition? Is it just the black cops are thugs and the white cops are misunderstood, troubled Christians?

I cannot take serious anything coming from someone calling himself Shabazz.

Are they going to claim the gun accidentally went off in his mouth? February 20, 2023 at 10:50 AM

Hold on aminit. Let's first have proof that a gun went off in his mouth during an interrogation. You top-water investigators, like 2:15, always seem to get ahead of yourselves and assume facts not in evidence.

2:23, This has nothing to do with race. I never mentioned it. Never put any thought into it. I have no idea the race of the deputies. Should it matter? I'm missing something, I guess.

@2:15 - Come back and preach when you have evidence that Shabazz is in possession of medical documentation or deposition stating cognitive impairment.

Until then, your speculation, although appreciated, is just that. Who's feeding your arrogant self breakfast this morning?

@5:25 - and you can come back here when you have even a shred of evidence to support your speculation. The man went to the hospital for life saving surgery. Do you think Shabazz worked on him or a team of doctors and nurses? Sometimes the answer is so obvious it’s embarrassing. You should feel embarrassed, but I’m guessing you take pride in your ignorance.

@7:35 - where did you seen that any of the Memphis officers knew Tyre Nichols prior to beating him to death? It isn’t been reported anywhere, are you friends with some of those officers or the victim? I guess your definition of thug is just a gut feeling and has nothing to do with race, you probably don’t even see color. Am I right?

I’d bet these rankin officers have a few previous blessing from the internal affairs catch and release program. Jackson’s justice system looks like the gold standard compared to the punishments officers face for some of the most brutal and evil acts. These officers are not even human, they are animals.

@ 4:43 - I looked back and 5:25 has not speculated at all. He's only pointed out yours. While you wallow in speculation, why accuse him of it? If I'm wrong, point it out.

@5:20 - the 5:25 commenter originally posted:

“ "...suffered permanent cognitive damage."

Lead isn't the only thing that causes cognitive damage. More often, drugs do. And how did Shazzam (sorry, Shabazz), educated as an attorney, manage to diagnose cognitive damage?

I guess he personally verified momma has gone car shopping, that the victim hasn’t worn a tie since his youth, that the attorney is the one who diagnosed the brain damage, and that the brain damage was likely caused by drugs. Sure seems like a bunch of speculation to me, but then again, I’m just using common sense here.

Was there another reason the officers were at the house with no warrant? May be more of a Memphis 2.0 than over drugs.

The deal is this and everyone is going to miss the real freaking problem here. It's racist yes, but it's not only done to blacks, they do white people the same way. The officer in charge thinks he is above the law. They have people in the county afraid to drive anytime after dark in fear of these goons. You can bet if this crew comes you are getting hands put on you no matter what. Look back at the video when they shot the guy in pelahatchie excessive force doesn't even describe what they did. Hundreds of shots fired. This entire squad is corrupt, they have terrorized people for years black and white. People need to stop being afraid of those mf and speak up. Everyone that's been assaulted by Rankin Co come forward now is the time. This has to stop. I've seen it with my own eyes. They do it often. PEOPLE SPEAK UP BLACK OR WHITE TELL WHAT THEY HAVE DONE......TAKE YOUR RIGHTS BACK END THE BRUTALITY

Ain't no Rankin officer shoot that fool. He shot his self. Black panther style.
He turned that gun to the side so he ain't die. Himself and plus. Rankin ain't gone shoot one and leave one come on now. This is all bs and the black panthers are to blame. Plus. Bret may be tough but he ain't do none of this shit I bet this shit goes down the shit drain I know one thing Rankin ain't stupid. If they gone kill shoot one they gone take them both out and make it look like an accident hell come on now. plus whack ass attorney this shit is too funny go kick rocks dumb asses
