They don't look so tough now

Damn, the RCSO is well-represented in a f’n twilight zone.

Were they charged with terrorism? Hate crimes? RCSO making the state look like shit.

I was speaking with an out of state customer rob the phone today. They asked me about this. Every news outlet in the nation is talking about this. How absolutely horrific. RCSO needs a federal takeover. This is too much.

Who is the fourth one from Guardians of the Halaxy knockoff?

36% makes this state look like shit.

The pictures literally have the watermark "do not copy." The images are not allowed to be used without permission of VINE, which is where Othor got them from.

The only reason these guys pled so quick is that there's a lot more they could be charged with. A lot more.

The "Rankin County Six." Anyone know where they reside? Most fed prisoners are houses at the Madison Co. Graybar Hotel, but their mugs don't show up there.

Are you sure number 1 and number 3 are not twins?

They all need to go away for long time. That said, a lot of y’all have been drinking too much prior to posting. Damn man!

6:45 They about to tell it all. When have you ever known a police officer to plead guilty even before the trial. Bailey might be like that Warden on Shawshank.

I agree with the commenter who said cops shouldn’t be allowed to look and dress like Special Forces.

I agree with the commenter who said cops shouldn’t be allowed to look and dress like Special Forces and with the commenter who agreed with the commenter who said cops shouldn’t be allowed to look and dress like Special Forces.

And cops, too, should not be allowed to have tattoos. It looks as bad as the thugs they allegedly police.

Their young ages strikes me as odd. I thought about writing their boss and suggesting he revamp the RCSO training.
RMQ

Gonna be national news for a while. At least Tate is out there attacking Jack Smith.

I have no idea how deep this ditch of shit runs, but I hope it's pumped dry in order to find out.

I'm a conservative white man and hope these guys (and those not shown) get the harshest penalty allowed under law.

The Goons working the interstate will be next. That operation needs to be fully disbanded. It’s a cash money operation.

They are bad cops no doubt. And the media will jump on MS and the balance of its citizens like we all are complicit in their crimes. Whats the latest on the bad cops in Memphis who killed a fellow of the same race? Crickets..

Man, Rick from pawn stars sure has fallen

@7:03 a.m., The mugshots and cam footage were immediately released on all networks. I’m sure like most news it will recycle when the trials begin but, you can probably check their local outlets.

It’s almost like you’re implying these crimes were not just revealed to the public after they lied on those victims and most believed them. Are you really going to try to deflect from this level of cruelty? Why can’t we minimally agree that using a sex toy is not a part of law enforcement training? Regardless of either race or “justification” it’s disgusting.

@7:03 - they’d have a good point. Everyone from this area has heard stories about this office in particular for decades. The citizens of Rankin seemed to be ok with it along with the sheriff.

1: When did the uniform code just get thrown in the shitter? Since when (like another poster said) are cops or sheriffs allowed to have operator beards? (Looking at you too, Clinton PD)

2: Anyone else tired of 5 separate setups on 20 waiting for the bait car and the dumbass lackey driving it to come through?

Cue #MeToo grifters.

Tater still ain't commented on this horrific crime that tarnishes the image of Rankin County and Mississippi. Where is the remorse and the commitment to right these kinds of wrongs in the state. It's not an isolated incident. Tater governs a state where this is widely practiced and condoned.

I don't think anyone can copyright a mug shot.

8:17 am… sounds like your tired of thinking your gonna get caught doing something wrong.. I pass them several times a week and I’m not bothered by someone doing their job.

@8:43 AM - Try to keep up. The governor released a statement on Friday.

Not familiar with the term 'operator beard'. What's that?

7:03 an Yes, we will be painted as complicit because we have been defensive rather than proactive about our past ... which is rife with public corruption back to Bilbo forward to Favre with more than a few infamous "in between" events and embrassing characters. Then pile on the glaring racism of the Till, Evers,Chaney,Goodman,Schwerner murders, and the evidence of corruption or incompetence in the Flowers case. Even the fiction books from our bestselling authors have "the ping of truth" when describing the problems main character have fighting the " bad guys". It's not just that "bad guys" go so long without being held legally accountable, but that they succeed in remaining accepted members of their communities and often, even their church congregation. The difference between forgiveness and condoning is missed entirely.
Recent publicity that our capital city has been under assault from and abandoned by its own citizens is not understandable to non-natives except in terms of racism and decades of corruption and poor leadership to many. They understand it takes decades not years for things to get this bad. We are uninterested in admitting it was awful and pledging to and acting to make sure it doesn't again.
We have good will ambassadors who try to put our best foot forward by being honorable and being the best, but too many undermine their efforts. They can talk about the beauty of MS and it's food and good and talented people but then the bad do so badly publicly to erase whatever I said. Our talented can get appreciated and admired but there is the element of "in spite of " their origins or conversely, that is easier here for our best and brightest to get over the first step to success.
Tate is not a good choice to attack anyone outside the State. The MS politicians with enough charisma and polish to do that are " former", can be counted on one hand without using all your fingers and they don't actually live here anymore.

The good Governor ain’t touching this with a ten foot pole, the majority of his voters don’t see wrong here. He's okay with intolerance and crimes against those undesirables.

Hopefully, the antics of the R.C.S.O. will not be as bad for awhile.
Thing is, these 5 got caught, how many others are still "serving & protecting"?

@6:10
They are not making the state look like shit. They are revealing why the state is shit. Last or next to last in everything, and racist as it’s ever been. This behavior takes generations to weed out, Mississippi has another 80 years or more to go to weed this out of peoples’ behavior.

@8:51
I'm not 8:17
But I do know how to use Google.
It's easy to figure out what RCSO is doing on the interstate.
Bryan Bailey uses taxpayer money to subscribe to a private law enforcement "social network" and Intel sharing platform called "desert snow" and is also known as Black Asphalt.
He bought the scanners and software from this company and ordered his deputies to sit on the side of the road scanning license plates for "hits" in the "private" black asphalt software, which isn't admissable as evidence I'm court.
Bailey's Goon Squad has to come up with some other probable cause to pull people over.

But have no doubt they are using this tool as their initial reason to pull people over.

Bailey spent several thousand or maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars to invest in this and the training and certification to become "Knights of the Black Asphalt" so they can reap millions in confiscated property.

Safe driving fellow traveler!

@10:01... So the Goon Squad was Bailey's elite cash cow confiscation team and they were basically untouchable until the feds caught on? Got it!

So this is why we never heard much about the money they confiscated?

Sounds like taxpayers should NOT be paying for anyone's legal defense.
Sounds like there are millions of dollars of drug money that need to be accounted for!

Settle down people. Every time someone is caught doing something wrong people come out of the woodwork yelling that is the reason we are in last place. Someone has to be in last place. It can't be a tie at first place all of the time. Mississippi has held that title for a long time and it isn't likely that will change anytime soon.
The problem Mississippi has is some smart people may start out here but soon leave the state. We are left with the people who are not smart enough to make it in another state. Of course we are in last place. Where else do you think we would be?

FBI needs to look into each deputy at the RCSO including crooked Bailey. Them phone records alone will be enough to seal the fate of most….. from she sheriffs wife never working and stealing all that time and money from
The state, steroids accusations for years, mandatory drug testing. Lord the list could go on and on……

It’s Rat time boyz! Court don’t work that way. Every Goon and x-Goon that did sumpn is being rat Ed on. This Rankin operation is huge. When done, we will get to watch in theatre at Pearl. No kids, it is rated R.

Yep! The Goon on the interstate stops traffic on profile and claims it to be a traffic infraction. It’s all tag reader data.

In fact all Goon charges are getting reversed before the 24 election. Richland Goons do it too.

"This behavior takes generations to weed out, Mississippi has another 80 years or more to go to weed this out of peoples’ behavior."

Re: August 5, 2023 at 9:58 AM - I don't know a soul who will disagree with that comment. It will indeed take generations for the bad acts and systemic behavior of the Jackson majority to change, even moderately.

It's taken at least seven generations to develop and will take at least that many, if ever, for a reversal or even a moderate change.

It may never change, but unless it does, we will remain last in most metrics.

10:01

Maybe so, but have you seen the hauls of drugs this effort has produced?

We're not talking about ziploc bags. We're talking about hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars' worth of meth, pot and all of the other good shit that sells.

Law enforcement is not Boy Scout work and they are not dealing with Sunday School teachers. It's a nasty business. However, I will state they have to play by the rules.

No exceptions.

"It's not an isolated incident. Tater governs a state where this is widely practiced and condoned."

If it's that widespread, you should be able to cite numerous examples from recent years. How about it? Go back 10 years and list the pattern of rouge police activity for us. Thank you in advance.

I am scheduled to take a flight out of the Jackson air port in Rankin county. Is there any safe way to get there when having to enter through Rankin county?

Well 8:17. They have not been police officers for minute. Thus free to grow facial hair

@2:23 just like these cops covered up their actions for several years other departments have also. Randy Tucker discontinued his predecessor’s practice of running road stops on the outskirts of Canton once the Feds got involved.

@2:31 PM

What an asinine comment.
These guys were dressing up as Spec Ops/Jack Ryan/Call Of Duty wannabes and driving around in blacked out Tahoes, pretending like the CIA Secret Soldiers of Benghazi for years before they got arrested.

Go look up the fluff piece from when one of Bailey’s Goon Squad recovered from cancer. He dressed the same way.

Board of Supervisors listen up. When Bailey is gone…DO NOT APPOINT ANYONE THAT WILL SEEK THE POSITION.
Deputies do not need to be armtwisted for votes.

Brandon Presley and Bill Crawford are working overtime here trying to make a tie from this scandal to the Governor. But, just like Brandon/Bill's attempt to tie Tate to the TANF/DHS scandal, there is no tie and all they are doing is throwing mud and innuendo and hoping that some of it will stick.

What the hell does the Governor of the State have to do with a Sheriff's office - anywhere - Mississippi specifically but the same applies nationwide.

Sheriffs are elected by the citizens of the county and they hire their deputies. The Governor doesn't appoint them, hire them, supervise them, prosecute them, or have the authority to remove them.

All the while screaming "Tater" and pointing out that Mississippi is always "LAST", ignoring that in some areas we are first. Jackson (adjoining Rankin) is first in homicides - most of which is black on black homicides, which means that it is hard to scream racism but that is of little consolation to those families who are having the bullets flying through their yards and into their houses. True, this first place finish is nothing to be proud of either, in fact it is a worse situation than most of the instances where we are on or close to the bottom. But our first place ranking has another factor that leads to these same folks wanting to not have to acknowledge it - the responsibility for that failure resides with the Mayor of Jackson (along with the failure to provide water - safe or unsafe; collect and treat the sewage; collect the garbage; etc.)

But, hey - let's blame the Governor for these thugs and the Goon operation in the RCSO. Might as well attempt to make political hay wherever one might find high grass.

So I suppose the criminal activity and criminal records of the two people that were supposedly targeted matter does it? It’s ok to let criminals perform their actions? As I saw it there were numerous crimes committed by the perps and recently there has been a theft ring that was busted near that same area or close proximity. I’m just a regular citizen but sometimes you need to use heavy handed tactics to keep your laws enforced. If you’re a law abiding citizen this shouldn’t be of concern to you. After all, you live in Rankin because it’s safe don’t you? It’s safe for law abiding citizens and it needs to be dangerous for criminals. If we go back to the old ways our world would be better than it is today but many of you don’t realize this doesn’t just happen in Mississippi. It happens in many other places. That’s why people congregate to safe places to raise their families. Now let’s see how the criminal element takes this as a signal to have carte Blanche to do what they want.

August 5, 2023 at 9:22 AM
Those "undesirables" can move north to, oh say, Chicago.

August 5, 2023 at 9:58 AM
Stereotypes are earned not given.

What crimes did Parker and Jenkins commit?

They were never involved in any of the crimes reported in the past for that house.

8:43/2:54, So you have cited to road blocks in Madison County.

But you say there are cops torturing people and setting them up with drop guns and drug plants all over the state on a regular basis, but none of it has been called out because the cops are all hiding it so well.

This case does not validate your fantasies of persecution by the police.

-2:23

@4:59
Thank you. Well earned in this case.

@5:35 how do you know they weren’t a party to crimes committed at that residence? Guilty by association or accessory to the crimes or just plain old drug dealers dishing out what they do to young kids. Now in my opinion being a drug dealer or even just coercing a young person to do drugs is a damn punishable crime. But it needs to be punished in the form of the old ways where it sends a signal to the other drug dealers and human traffickers that this doesn’t go well in a place where people want to raise their families in a safe place. This isn’t the same place it was 40 Years ago and we have to adapt to the onslaught of what human kind knows as the most dangerous drugs known in our history. By adapting might be using tactics that as the old people and the old “veterans” used to say, “ the end justifies the means”. Things have to happen to make sure our children and grandchildren are protected. Which means destroy all drug dealers any which way you know how.

@8:51

Ever drive through there in a rental with Texas tags because your company car is in the shop?

Does anyone ever think the people bringing drugs into this country isn't smart enough to change tags when they drive through a different state? They have been in the drug business for quite a while. Even with some of the shipments getting caught in transit there is never a shortage of drugs. Ever wonder where the drugs are coming from and how they get to everywhere in this country? Does anyone ever think the drug lords might be willing to send a car full of drugs for the locals to catch while their truck full of drugs drives right past them? That way everyone is happy. The drug lords make their delivery and the locals get their jollies out of catching a couple of people who are dumb enough to think they are really running drugs.

Odds on when the High Sheriff walks away from his position?

This is so destructive on so many levels. Loss of Trust in Law Enforcement, Loss of Trust in the RCSO and Sheriff Bailey, Setting our State reputation back to the Klan days and just seeing pure EVIL in other people. I believe justice will be served and those guys (and their families) will be irrepairably ruined; not to mention the victims of this incident and the others that have not come to light yet. Life has a way of achieving balance and I know they will all have their "Dance Cards" filled in the big house......... Very sad state of affairs for humanity.

This could possibly backfire on everyone in a bad way. Now there are ways to get rid of drug dealers and obviously this wasn’t the correct way, but now the low level drug dealers are laughing since they know local law enforcements hands are tied due to the feds watching and investigating. I’m all for getting rid of drug dealers, no matter who they are in any way that it can be done. They don’t deserve to have rights. They have destroyed many many families and since they have the attitude they can do what they want, they will be coming after your children since the Feds have stepped in and made this an issue. Maybe you don’t agree with what these men did but just say your child has been a victim of a drug dealer I bet you have dreams about what type of punishment you would do to them. Just sit back and think about it for a minute. The end justifies the means. We have a serious drug problem in this country and it’s not getting any better. Would you say that a child dying of a fentanyl overdose is not worthy of making the dealer pay the price of his or her death? Remember. A dealer is the lowest of scum on earth and in my opinion and deep down many of your opinions a drug dealer is not worthy of breathing the same oxygen that we do. They are murderers and condone human trafficking. I can say this. If one of my kids had died at the hands of a dealer, then the dealer whether it be a he or she would have met a bad kind of “end of the road” in an most unimaginable kind of way. There are more of us out here than you think that feel like this. This has opened up a Pandoras Box that goes both ways. It should have been handled more professionally and more privately.

I don't disagree with the overall point you are making 7:18.
And I do think drug dealers are scum. But criminals DO have rights. Like it or not.
And police don't get to be judge and jury.

You seem to look at this from the perspective of your child being a victim of these men because he/she took drugs from a drug dealer so you justify this behavior.

Imagine if your kid was falsely accused (or even accurately accused) of being a drug dealer, then promptly waterboarded with milk, and sexually assaulted and shot in the mouth.
We law abiding citizens have a tendency to only see it from our side because (gasp) we would NEVER do anything wrong to end up in this scenario. But you let a cop get mad at you for some personal wrong, and plant evidence on your or assault you and see if you don't want some of those criminal rights for yourself.

There is a reason why we have a judicial system and due process. You don't have to be a fan of drug dealers to see that this is just insanely wrong and unacceptable.

My parents raised me to NOT do drugs 7:18.
More parents should try that.
