That’s awesome! Better than what I expected for sure!! Can’t believe these goons that have been terrorizing the County for years are finally getting some Karma. Richland PD has a couple that are next. I have the video in my office.

Have these monsters been racking up public benefits while on paid leave?

Good for the Sheriff. They should all be prosecuted if they violated any laws.

Well that’s one way to CYA!
Only time will tell if it is effective.

Their termination is the least of their problems at this point. Jail time to follow, plus a massive settlement.

The Sheriff's Deputies will ultimately cost Rankin County taxpayers a lot of money. And the buck stops with the Sheriff: he must resign.

Weak AF!! How are those 2 not implicated yet!

Where there's smoke there's fire(d). Sadly some will likely be hired at some podunk MS LE agency.

Body cameras are a must or the high sheriff must go. He's probably gone anyway.

Resign!

I must say, I was pretty hesitant to believe this happened because it is such an absolutely outlandish story........but if the dept has sufficient cause to fire the deputies, that's pretty damming proof

The Rankin County Sheriff's Department has been, and will continue to be, an out of control liability to the Rankin County taxpayers.

Shameful.

To the commenters indicating the sheriff should resign .......why? That dude didn't do anything and he fired the guys that did and is in the obvious process of throwing their asses to the wolves.

Why would he resign?

mob mentality that harkens back to running around town with someones head on a stick with torches in hand

This good news, but it is a little too little too late. DOJ is probably getting ready to institute criminal charges against the goons who did this, and now the Sheriff is trying to CYA.

Hey Sheriff Dipspit.
You turned blind eye as long as they were pulling in cash from unconstitutional seizures.
You let these roided up racist assholes play god with and call themselves “Knights of the Black Asphalt” with their license plate scanners.
Now you are all humble because CNN is showing up!

Roid Rage in Rankin-

@2:46 dont be a key board warrior.

Maybe, just maybe, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion training would be a good thing for his department.

Doubt anyone is worried about CNN showing up.

3:13
Because if you know him like I do , he is a micromanaging narcissist. That would mean he knew about it prior to when it happened and he also knew about all the other incidents that are also being investigated by the DOJ. That would mean he too will be indicted at some point . He is responsible for his flock .

When will they start releasing all the wrongfully imprisoned people from MDOC these jackasses planted drugs on. All different colors and walks of life have been saying it for years. Were they all
lying? Whose word does the judge believe these cops or the defendant?

Rankin resident here, this is just the beginning of what needs to happen.
Its way past time for the good LEOs to demand these horrible one be removed from the job.
These guys give your whole profession a bad name and people like me, who used to support you are losing all faith.
Body cams. You should have nothing to hide and they can only exonerate you.

Rankin county resident here, who voted for this sheriff. He should resign if for no other reason that this stupid press conference. What a clown show...on the level of baby Chock. His incompetence was just shown. Just go ahead and retire. You have the years.

@3:42
You go tell that to Derick Chauvin and his Brothers in Blue who are sitting in the cell block for murdering Saint George Floyd.

Hey some of you attorney types…. Here are the facts as known on another Rankin case.

Cops allege that a drug deal has just been completed at a residence by their confidential
Informant. They pull into the driveway without a warrant and burst through the front door screaming and yelling. The homeowner has cameras inside the house unbeknownst to the officers. As the cops tear apart the bedroom and start rifling through everything they are demanding that the residents consent to the search or else they will come back to the house and “tear through the ceilings until you can see the sky and the place in uninhabitable” so the residents consented and were arrested for a small amount of meth and another for pipe.

Question: this is all on 4k crystal clear video, cops clearly threatening to destroy their house if they have to leave and get a warrant and if they don’t consent to the search they were already doing…. Isn’t this illegal? If a sale did happen why wouldn’t they go get a warrant? Were they required to? Or if a sale goes down and they know it can they just storm the house and deman the people consent?

Fellow Rankin County Taxpayers get yo checkbook out, we’re fixing to have a multimillion dollar note to pay off, thanks Sheriff Dipstick.

3:18 nailed it 100% facts. It is past time for someone to uncover this behavior that has gone on way too long.

This is likely the tip of the iceberg, and so systemic that the sheriff had to know what was going on. Asset seizures? Very likely. Reselling drugs? Possibly.

Where was the sheriff when the first presser announcing this alleged abuse took place?

Yo sheriff, too little, too late. It's happening on your watch. Man up!

Where is our AG?

MS - also last in law enforcement.

Name All involved and show pics! Have any been locked up?
Know I would’ve immediately been charged and locked up.

Bryan Bailey will win in a landslide because Niknar doesn’t care they kill blacks. Didn’t bat an eye when the entire sheriffs department opened fire on a mentally ill African-American in Pelahatchie. How many shots did they fire into him? Was the final count 100?

Rankin better hope this doesn’t fall under the preview of Mr. Polite . He hates crooked cops as much as welfare thieves. He always gets his man!

Only John Grisham could fabricate a novel about two different ends of the law enforcement spectrum community existing, separated only by a podunk river.

If I was a banker, I would be courting these guys with personal loans. They are well on the way to collecting big bucks.

5:18
We have had enough, fellow Niknar citizen.

CJ Lemaster just roasted their ass!

One question and one statement from me:

1) there’s obviously some truth to this insane story. With truth on their side, Kingfish, why in the world would they still be retaining a lying, race hustling terrorist like Shabazz? They could have nothing but could lawyers as this is apparently true. If they were real smart, one of their black lawyers not named Shabazz would fire Shabazz and GASP hire a well known white lawyer. It’s rankin county, know your audience fellas. Couldn’t hurt. At a minimum fire Shabazz and you have all of our respect and attention.

2) claims like this are paid out of Mississippi municipal, a self insurance fund that various state agencies across the state pay into. So actually taxpayers all over the state will be paying what could be a very significant settlement/judgment.

Cha-ching, the police excess force lottery is fixin' to pay big time. It will be so big that Rankin may need to sell some bonds to pay it.

Bailey you should resign NOW for the sake of Rankin County. You do not deserve your position and it is not an honor to have you and the mess you have allowed in your department represent us. I was so hoping these accusations were not true, but knowing other incidents allowed in your department that you had full knowledge of, and participated in, made me think it’s possible with the type of shenanigans you have allowed. Do the right thing and leave so we can begin to heal this embarrassment. To the good deputies that do serve Rankin county, demand he resign, clean up your ranks and may a new leader with honesty and integrity rise to the top.

Except the lawsuits will be in federal court.

Everyone in the metro area has known the reputation of the Rankin County Sheriff’s for decades. The sheriff knew it, his deputies knew it, and they decided to stay on the same path. They didn’t have the morals to do the right thing before, they lied and covered up for the members of their gang. You can’t fix stupid and this Sheriff is STUPID. Not to mention he has the blood of his terrorist deputies on his hands. He belongs on the other side of the bars with the rest of his gang. Crime doesn’t pay sheriff.

Reading the Wingate order on the separate Pelahatchie incident is incredible. They can't even document whether the suspect was armed, remained armed after being turned into hamburger, or actually threw his gun out and hit a deputy. And it seems the same set of folks were involved. And Bryan was there as On Scene Commander. Not a good outcome either.

Bryan needs a rabbi, quick. A truth telling, get it out, fix it, competent advisor. That presser, and even the grammatically incorrect release, was AWFUL.

Or, just disarm RCSO, but they cover 150,000 folks who need to depend on them.

What course of instruction includes "put a gun in their mouth?" Ever??? What the heck has been going on down there for training?

"we serve and protect the public while making sure the rights of all citizens are protected."

What a joke. I'm not seeing police departments to protect first and second amendment rights.

I have questions about the payments as well! My taxes go up because of these dumbasses we gonna be getting some new supervisors for damn sure !! Pay attention BOS!!

Yes, in federal court, and any judgements will still have to be paid.

7:18 - What does the Board of Supervisors have to do with it? The Board has no authority over a Sheriff, just as the Board in MadCo has no authority over the retiring Tax Collector who is missing almost a million dollars.

The post at 6:55 is the first I've heard about a Pelahatchie incident. Where can we get further information about that if it relates to departmental misconduct?

Give them a few days and they will be picked up by another local department.their resignations and firings details will not be shared with the taxpayers. It’ll be like nothing ever happened.

Bailey is just trying to cover his ass.All it took was the feds under a Democratic administration to start to investigate and heads started to roll.

What are their names?

I don’t see anything in the article that spells a slam-dunk for the plaintiffs. We don’t know the facts of the investigation and we don’t know the policy violations that resulted in them being fired.

I have neither seen nor read anything that backs up the plaintiffs’ allegations.

Well for all you folks that are bashing the whole dept for the ones who did wrong. They have been fired. Which means they have openings. Why don’t you ride on up to the S.O. and apply for a job. Since you critique the LEO so much maybe you can make a change. Other than that stop complaining about the whole department. I’m sure you will have a different outlook on LEO after wearing that uniform/badge for a couple weeks.

7:18 - Please tell us what you think this has to do with the Board of Supervisors.

@1:04 - Their tasers were fired dozens of times over a long period of time and it ended with the victim getting shout through the mouth. Those seem to point to a very serious crime being committed by the sheriff’s deputies and with the taser reports showing all the time stamps of the torture session and the resulting gunshot wound through the mouth and then the phony report the deputies came up with for the coverup, I don’t think the sheriff will even be able to present a defense, they will have to pay a settlement of any amount that the victims name.

@8:41 PM

Jackson Jambalaya has a search box in the upper right.
Kingfish reported it.

Well, it is election season, and what better way to "look good" than to sacrifice a few to keep the voters happy.
What about criminal charges to follow?

@6:40 AM

Nice try. I would do the job better than anyone in history. However, I can’t take the pay cut. Ive got hundreds of employees who count on me. I’ve got three adult offspring attending Ivy League University.

@6:40 - I could never in good conscience work with those terrorist scumbags. It takes a certain type of violent pshycho to want to work in the Rankin county sheriff’s office and not many would qualify.

The sheriff wasn’t even able to answer how many were fired. If he had, his previous lie 2 minutes prior that all involved deputies had been fired would have been immediately clear. Stop covering up for your gang Shrriff Bailey. Rankin county deserves better than your lies and criminal coverups. Maybe the feds can use RICO to break up his cartel.

They should have been fired months ago. Yes, they will likely be hired by some podunk unprofessional LE agency, but not in the metro area, i.e. at some agency with 5-10 officers total that embraces bully cops.

It’s easy to see why so many police officers don’t want body cameras. I wouldn’t want evidence of my torture sessions to be made either. We need a law requiring their use, police officers’ testimony can not be trusted and should never be enough without supporting evidence for any conviction. I wonder how many people are sitting in prison now because of this sheriff’s lies?

@4:18 - where can we watch this video?

Please name those fired and those who resigned. Inquiring minds who’ve been tricked and conned by deputies would like to know.

Sheriff "short man complex" was not very impressive reading a poorly written statement penned by someone else.

Rankin, is that the best you can do?

A question for the lawyers from a non lawyer: What is the likelihood that other cases connected to the disgraced former deputies get tossed out?

6:40 So long as my tax dollars pay their salary, I think I will complain all I want.

If your husband is one of the good ones that you are defending (assumption based on your emotional defense) why didn't he speak up before these "exceptions" almost murdered these men?

Maybe the good ones on the force should be liable to pay all these legal fees and restitution.

Makes more sense than asking the taxpayers to pay since the good ones had to know about this toxic and criminal behavior. I hope they rot in jail.

I am glad CJ grew a set. I applaud all tough journalism.

But why does that bravado seem to be non-existent when he is near the Mayor of his own city?

Hard to respect clear bias when it seems so apparent.

All I can say is, the agency wasn't run this poorly when George Santos was in charge.

@8:51 AM - Are you blind? KF goes after "his mayor" almost daily.

@8:27. Agree fully! No emotion reading the statement. insincere... He is tucking his tail and should resign...

Y’all need to leave the sheriff alone! He was elected by the Majority of the people in his County that voted.

Just as any sheriff, “ he can’t fix stupid” but he can terminate their employment.

Rogue deputies are in every county in this state and country.

Support your County Sheriff.

Just for your information we have a good and progressive Sheriff two Counties south on Hwy 49.

Deputies must police each other and not stand by and let one fool ruin your career!

7:16 a.m., Do you cite facts, or allegations? I'm not saying you are incorrect.

I would appreciate it if you could provide direction, preferably links, to the news reports, documentation or other evidence that back up your statements.

-1:04 a.m.

@6:24 PM could it be that no white lawyer thought it was a credible case? About a month ago these comments read differently in support of the officers, be serious.

Future Capitol City Police new hires?

@10:16am. Look here RCSO employee. You assume this has not happened before with this department? I may not can answer that but I will tell you this time the OFFICERS were caught and if you don't think the #1 man- Bryan Bailey- didn't know to the minute/ second exactly what happened that night, you my friend are an idiot. I support police but I also expect ACCOUNTABILITY.

7:01
If they raise my taxes to pay for these redneck dumbasses mistake , that’s why!!
Clearly these 2 guys are not getting 400$ million but they are gonna get paid . I am just assuming here that the fine print of the county insurance policy doesn’t cover racist attacks where a tongue gets blown off, but that just me !

follow this story kingfish................and let us know how many of these firings get reversed by the civil service commission and /or how many of these firings get new jobs with another department before the end of next week.

They serve at will and pleasure of the sheriff.

“ I believe in my heart that this department remains one of the best departments in our state and I am committed to doing everything in my power to keep this department on a correct path moving forward.”

Not sure if this quote by the thug sheriff is just him being a lying asshole or if the rest of the police departments in the state are actually worse than his group of terrorist gang bangers. Either way, his idea of the correct path is clearly not a legal one and changes have to be made from the top down.

Pretty sure you are the blind one, 9:47.

CJ LeMaster (journalist praised for roasting the sheriff's ass at 6:09 pm comment) is not Kingfish.

CJ drinks Chucks bathwater.

Nobody accused KF of anything.

Calm down.

Saw a local TV news story last night that mentioned the deputies didn't have any bodycam footage of the event. That is bad in and of itself, but the story also said the deputies had no bodycam footage recorded for weeks prior to this event. An officer failing to record bodycam footage for weeks at a time is a problem that falls directly on supervisors up the chain of command. If true, this won't end with the officers.

1:10 - What's this 'Civil Service Commission' of which you speak?

The Sheriff's resignation (or not) will depend on two things:

1) Whether he is vested in PERS, and

2) The age of his bass boat.

“Umm, umm, I’m not resigning.”

Must be nice to not be accountable for your work, no matter how many people get their constitutional rights abused under your reign of terror.

He should take ownership and admit that HIS deputies are HIS responsibility.
Reminder: He puts his NAME on everything from their cruisers to his MRAP!
Seaweed off little coward to the end!
Just like when he hides in his MRAP!

Called RCSD during the recent storms because of an emergency in our neighborhood and the people answering calls treated all of us like shit. Nobody responded or followed up.

603 it's an election year and i think he is running unopposed

@11:19, this is 6:24. Because this story was so bizarre it would be hard to believe it? And lll say it again, having Shabazz involved damages the credibility.

Kingfish had previously posted an addendum to a post that there were rumblings among surrounding LEO agencies that some, a lot, or all of the allegations were true. If kingfish has that info, so do attorneys that would be happy to hand a LEO a McDonald’s bag without McDonald’s food in it for that info/referral. If there’s some credible information that these allegations are at least partially true, there’s a line around the block of attorneys of any demographic you would like. If these allegations are even slightly true, they need to get away from Shabazz asap

RE: June 27, 2023 at 4:18 PM

"a little bit of meth"???

Sounds like someone with a habit.

11:39
That and the pistol were planted .

@11:39 AM

Imagine getting pulled over by the RCSO in a rental car with Texas plates. They tear it apart and find “a little bit of meth” that you had no idea was under the spare tire.

Now compare that to Javier and Conception getting pulled over with 12 kilos of North Korea’s finest synthetic dope.

There is an important distinction!

And all the Republicans said: Just do what the police tell you to do.
