Posted below are photos of the infamous Goon Squad "challenge" coin.
A source sent the photos to JJ yesterday. JJ confirmed with two other sources the pictures are valid.
Jeffrey Middleton created the coin and passed it out to members of the Goon Squad unit and deputies who worked his shift. The same Jeffrey Middleton who got off after killing an innocent driver as he barreled down Highway 18 in Jackson with his lights turned off. Earlier post.
When Middleton was at JPD, he was part of JPD officers that took a picture. The picture said "We don't kiss ass, we kick ass." Apparently some things never change.

wrong tater......mississippi's FEDERAL criminal justice system works..................if this matter was left to the state the goon squad would still be operating.
Goon Squad tattoos, even on Mama Dealer?
How is it possible that Bryan did not know? Hell, how did anyone associated with leadership at RCSO not know?
What a bunch of dumb cops. The coin was nothing more than future evidence.
so when will the County Sheriff resign??
Yea, those silly pins should be embarassing to a grown man. Geeze! They should be required to wear them in prison!
For the goon squad to have a challenge coin is so blatant that there is absolutely NO WAY that the Sheriff didn't know what was going on in his department.
There is no doubt in my mind that Sheriff Bailey owned a few of these coins, which are likely now in the Pearl River.
The new ones coming out have dildos and milk on them.
Apparently he said he is not resigning. So all we can do is vote him out. For that to happen Rankin County leadership and various mayors must call Bailey to account for his actions.

Listen here.
The Sheriff asked these grown men and they looked him in the eye and lied to him.
Then he prayed about it.
What else would you expect him to do?
Due diligence was done.
Time to move on!
It’s ironic because If you look at their heights in the mugshot and then compare it to the Sheriff, and then look at the picture on the coin, it’s like a younger-in-cheek inside joke that Bailey was the Lil Boss and they were his big goons
ahhh yes we should trust anonymous, unnamed sources
Once a group of cops gives themselves a stupid name, it’s guaranteed they’re breaking the law.
Proving actual knowledge on the part of Bailey may (and I definitely want to emphasize may) prove difficult. However, proving that a reasonable person in his position should have known or should have had reason to know given all of the "smoke" surrounding this "fire" shouldn't be that great of a leap in the land of justice and jurisprudence.
One thing is certain. Bailey's friends should definitely take any and all steps to prevent him from doing another interview. Saying he had no idea and acting like he is totally shocked is becoming unbelievable....if it hasn't already reached that point.
Their next challenge coin will have images of them grabbing their ankles and squeeling.
The feds have been real quiet about how these folks got onto a federal task force.
Which of the perps was the artist who drew the goons?
Actually, much more likely the goon image was borrowed. From where?
Could be another little part of the story.
"They lied to me". So when the Sheriff walked into the crime scene and saw Milk, Eggs, Honey, ransacked home, he didn't ask "oh crap!!! What did yall do?." And if you have any common sense, you would know the Sheriff knew his employees were walking around calling themselves the goon squad happily handing out stupid coins proudly. But you don't think Bryan Baily had one? Each one is a disgrace. Hoping the FBI is continuing to look deeper......
Bryan Bailey should resign immediately!!
Those crocodile tears didn't fool anyone!!
Do the right thing Sheriff and resign now!!!
Things are piling up for the sheriff. He knowingly hired a guy that committed manslaughter with a police car.

Ok let’s trust the sheriffs Dept! D.A.
Chokeway should send these guys a fruit basket for making JPD look like a competent machine in comparison and for taking any possible modicum of national attention off COJ and putting it (rightfully) on the Rankin shitshow that I apparently live amongst.
Sometimes its better to correct and save a bad employee than firing him or her and starting over.
Imagine the scrutiny the SO will be under for an infinite amount of time. Bailey is well aware this is a colossal f--k up and his every move is going to be watched.
Plus, he's going to have to back up his comments to make the required corrections. It's not about giving him another chance but, telling him what to do and making sure it gets done. In other words, he needs to answer to someone on a daily basis.
Vote Goon Squad as a write in candidate.
@12:11
JPD knows better than to leave witnesses to testify.
In this election he is running unopposed. Everyone don't vote for him. That way he'll get about 10 votes. His own and family.
The capitol police need to take over the Rankin County sheriff department. Andy & Barney did a better job than Byran Bailey.
Sheriff Bailey. When you got on scene and saw no body cameras being worn. Saw your deputies had no legal right to be in the house. When you saw the victim had a gun shot entry wound inside HIS MOUTH. If you didn’t recognize this was bullshit you’re dumber than you look.
What was the call? Why are y’all inside? Who was here first? How did you shoot him inside his mouth missing his teeth? Why is there milk and all the contents of the fridge all over the floor?
Someone needs to find out where the Goon Squad’s train station is
First it was a pin, now its a challenge coin? which is it?
@10:46:
How is it possible that Bryan did not know? Hell, how did anyone associated with leadership at RCSO not know?
I suggest you talk to Philip Bryant. He’s a former Rankin Deputy Sheriff. But then again, he knows nothing about the TANF funds either.
@12:46 PM
Never heard mention of a pin. It was always a patch and a challenge coin.
You must be one of those commenters who are deficient in reading comprehension.
Kingfish needs to adopt one of these text-based captchas that throws off the bots and dyslexics.
A cryin' shame that all this info didn't make it out quicker from federal case so that someone could've run against the sheriff
Pretty easy to pull the order form and see if any had names imprinted on them like Middletons. Also, how many he ordered with the S.O. official logo, willing to bet the farm there are more than 5 squad members! For those that say Bailey should resign, its more likely he'll get removed by the DOJ after indictments. This shooting is just the tip of the iceberg.
Can the sheriff still claim ignorance?
Please find the list of all the deputies who had the goon squad coin. Bet some people are praying we never find out they had one of these special coins......
Just the good ol' boys
Never meanin' no harm
11:34 am is on to something. Numerous RCSO deputies are members of multiple federal task forces and have been for years. I wonder just how many federally overseen law enforcement operations the goonies participated in through the years?
Another question: If the men and women of the RCSO are no longer to be trusted because of who is currently leading them, then surely the feds have refrained from using RCSO personnel on joint task force operations since this all came down, correct????? I mean, if the current leadership of the department is not trustworthy, surely none of the department's personnel have been employed on recent joint operations?
Outsider here, fascinated by this story.
Will those who have pled guilty lighten their sentence by testifying against others in the Rankin Sheriff's office?
2:26
I would say there is a 1000% chance that is happening
If Tate wanted to back up his big words, he would invoke this power. Win or lose, it would send a message and be the end of the sheriff.

I notice the coin says "Lt. Middleton's Good Squad." Maybe they actually got the ringleader. Just a thought.
Will Tate need to send his POLICE force to patrol rankin county as well, we also pay for it so we should get some services.
@2:26
When the Goon Squad wasn’t violently attacking African American men and planting evidence on attorneys, they were literally Highwaymen with badges and guns chasing cars with Texas plates. Then they were confiscating their money and valuables under the cover of being a “drug interdiction task force” and the accountability and accounting of the proceeds of activities have gone unquestioned for at least 10 years. One can imagine that they are turning states evidence on what they know. The younger ones may not know much. If McAlpin was being set up to take the fall for the Goons’ boss, then if the FBI offered him a lighter sentence in exchange of singing against the Goon’s boss, he may be inclined to turn state’s witness.
We just don’t know.
All we know is someone currently running for office is playing dumb.
Ted Henifin for Sheriff.
@12:56. Incorrect. Phil Bryant was a Hinds County Deputy.
What an f’ing disgrace these thug PIGs have caused to Rankin County and the state of Mississippi.
The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN et al do not care about the children killed in Jackson, MS from stray bullets nor all of the other heinous crimes but will have the world thinking nothing has changed in Mississippi since the 1960’s – and the ignorant sheep will gobble it up.
Rankin County Sherriff Bryan Bailey either almost certainly had to be complicit, or is incompetent – and he must RESIGN or be REMOVED!!!
The way I hear it on the street (lifelong rankin county resident that know a lot of folks) McAlpin was a complete psychopath. Planted evidence on multi people for years.
Brian Bailey ran unopposed in primary, I did not check the box.
@5:19 PM
McAlpin operated like someone who felt like a “made man” that was untouchable.
Karma is alive and well. Have fun boys.
Madison and even Hinds County both have an Inmate Search. Does Rankin not have an online list of inmates?
If he’s like most politicians, just check his damn text messages. I’m sure the sheriff has videos and selfies of the plastic peckers and milk.
No 7:17. Rankin always guarded their inmate information. They were posed Vinelink had access
There have been so many of those challenge coins tossed in the Pearl that a dam may have been created.
Investigate their families too. They are all crooked.
McAlpin is telling it all. Going back to Tazer death #1.
I literally feel a twinge of anxiety now when I see a Rankin County Sheriff’s Vehicle. I’ve never felt this way before and have lived here my whole life. Which other deputies knew about “The Goon Squad”, said nothing or looked the other way? How could the Sheriff not know what was going on? Are every arrest these deputies made being re- investigated? I never would have believed this was true when I first heard what these men had done. I hope someone will make a movie about this, play it nation-wide, as a teacher tool for all. We have come so far, we have so far to go…my heart aches…
Another question, how many other Rankin County Deputies carry drugs with them to plant on people? How many other”Missions” have these goons carried out? How many other people have these, and other deputies falsely accused of drug possession and planted the drugs themselves? Sheriff Bailey is not comprehending they massive distrust that has been placed on The Rankin County Sheriff’s Department. I have the Rankin Co. Sheriff’s Department phone number in my contacts, in case of emergency, but now will be very hesitant to call them for help. Every past arrest made by these men must now be investigated by The DOJ, as all are questionable now. Bailey seems to think he has made Rankin Co. one of the safest places to live, he is incorrect. It is the people of Rankin County that have made it the one of the safest places to live. That’s all I’ve got to say about that.
