Feds Want Rankin Info

The Justice Department issued the following statement. 

The Department of Justice is committed to enforcing laws protecting the civil rights of all persons in Rankin County, Mississippi and throughout the nation.  To enforce these laws, it is critical that federal authorities receive information from the public regarding allegations of abuse.  As the Department previously indicated in its press release issued on August 3, 2023, announcing the guilty pleas of six former Rankin County Law Enforcement Officers, the public is encouraged to contact the FBI hotline at 1-800-CALL-FBI, email tips.fbi.gov or call the FBI Jackson Field Office at 601-948-5000, if you or someone you know has been a victim of abuse by a member of the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office.

Is there a law enforcement transfer portal? If so, I bet it's going to be busy.

Other than MHP, who would take a transfer from Rankin?

Unfortunately there is a law enforcement portal. These folks may end up anywhere.

How far back do they want to go?

"Who would take them?"

There are dozens of 1-horse towns in Mississippi, some with a population of around 1,000 people, that have their own PD . These little empires would gladly take them.

I have buddies with several North Mississippi departments. They said that they have received several applications from Rankin County deputies. Those applicants won't even be getting a call. They are all essentially black balled right now.

There are no statues of limitations on civil rights violations.

I bet several deputies, jailers, jail administrators, compliance officer, and the almighty Sheriff are terrified. Phone records, taser logs, emails, Group Chats, etc is going to get them. Remember all those employess using county issued phones as personal phones. NOTHING IS PRIVATE. Brace yourselves.

They're coming for You..... said...

Rut Row Bailey!!!!!!!!

I think some deputies, jailers, nurses, jail administrator, compliance officer, almighty sheriff are very afraid of what is coming. Just check everyone's taser logs, phone logs. Those phones are county issued phones. Not for personal use. You will find a wealth of knowlege on those phones since they all use them as if they are personal phones. Check the SO group chats. Bad things are coming.

They could start by reviewing the 27-page memo posted by KF on December 1.

10:50, You too could start by reviewing that memo. Look at the pictures of the victims and you will see there are more than twice as many white faces than black. The Goon Squad, et. al., wasn't a race-based endeavor. Not every picture has to be viewed through the lens of racism.

Bailey’s House of Cards is falling.
You don’t want to be the last rat on the sinking ship.
Tater can’t pardon him for federal crimes.
The Feds are aware of the public outcry to remove him since he refuses resign.
What will he do as he sits in his office and watches them on CCTV while they close in on him?

Anonymous said...

Attn 10:45 there are no “statues” of limitations. Maybe you should “erect” a “statue” of limitation. I am sure a number of people would like to know what they look like.

Feds need to come Jackson Police department, too. Its a lot of corruption going on in this state. Feds come with your luggage. " Here we come".

Glad I don't live in the county, because WHEN they get rid of Bailey (and they WILL), the next Sheriff will certainly be an "equity hire" (black or white). While I, in no way, condone the excesses of the Goon Squad or anyone else, a certain amount of respect has to be had by the public for a law enforcement agency, and that's not gained by arresting people by their percentage of the population. It's done by enforcing the law and not putting up with crap (e.g. Flowood, Pearl, and Brandon PD). People have to know a law enforcement agency operates within the law, but that they also ENFORCE the law to all people....not just the ones who are in favor at the time or not at all (e.g., Jackson)

I just want to know why, when I drive through multiple states/counties/cities, I never see drug interdiction troops at EVERY SINGLE MEDIAN CROSSOVER.

I also wanna know how their hit ratio is so strong, it’s almost like they know what car to look for

Before any of you Boomers (or Millennials, or GenZ) say “if you aren’t doing anything wrong, you don’t have anything to worry about” these are the standing troops the Founding Fathers warned against

Money.

The departments split the catch with each other.

Millions split up each year.

Follow the money

Anonymous said...

Those drug interdiction troops, as you call them, are being funded by your federal tax dollars from the Department of Homeland Security. It may, in fact, be a Homeland Security vehicle, with ghost emblems, that are hard to see.

The tag readers mounted on the front of those vehicles is why the hit rate is so high. That's as far as I'm going, have a good day.

You obviously never travel the I-40 corridor. I was there this weekend and saw numerous interdiction units.

I-20 is the major southern route for the cartels moving drugs eastbound and money west back to Mexico. When a vehicle that has made an “over and back” trip to Atlanta from south Texas in 24 hours they ain’t been to check on Nana. They’re running dope and money. When you find $200,000 in a hidden compartment that ain’t vacation money.

Do you people really believe the feds would beg the public for info if they had info?

This is a scare tactic or just a FU from a leftist federal government to a white Mississippi LEO organization in a majority white county. If they had something on Bailey or, anyone else for that matter, the handcuffs and a big media spectacle would have already happened.

Oh you loons, there's plenty of dirt on Bailey just in what's publicly available. But the more they're able to establish a pattern of abuse, the more you can watch the civil penalties against Rankin climb sky high. It starts to add up after 20 years. And the taser logs are pretty damning, too.

Anonymous said...

Hate to say it but we are on our own. Can’t trust the feds, and you absolutely can’t trust Bailey. For all we know, he’s a closeted democrat. We need to organize a recall and find a professional run the sheriff’s office. Our freedoms are too precious to yield to some wannabe tyrant.

They are taking vacation money. The don’t have to have any criminal charge to seize cash and anything of value. Want it back? Got to sue the government.

That is definitely Eastern Bloc stuff.

Oh believe me, they already have more than enough on Bailey. I have a friend who is a Hotel Manager, and she told me that for a few months now there have been numerous F.B.I. Agents and Justice Department Officials staying at a few " Extended Stay Hotels " in the local area. These Special Agents use Federal Department of Commerce and Department of Agriculture I.D. cards to get Government rates on their rooms. They have also rented the conference rooms since they have been staying there, and every day they continue to interview numerous people about their dealings with the " Goon Squad " and the Rankin County S.O. ( I suspect from the information that the the arrested Goon Squad members have told them for their plea bargain ).
We all know how the Feds handle cases like this. They will not come for you until they have all their ducks in a row. When they come for Bailey, it will be with 15 or 20 different felony counts, each charge having a maximum amount of jail time of 20 years, and a minimum amount of jail time of 10 years, not counting the monetary fines. After his arrest, the Federal prosecutor will meet with Baileys Attorney and offer him a plea deal of 10 or 12 years. If a deal is not reached, the Federal Prosecutor will inform them that he intends to ask the judge for the maximum sentence for every count that Bailey is convicted on. That is how it works in the Federal system.

Boy oh boy….Hinds sure would have been in some deep shit if the feds had investigated a sheriff and his department during the 90’s and early 2000’s. Corrupt detectives and deputies. There were some good guys there but there were some dirty ones. And they were tied with retired federal law enforcement who would help them skirt the law.

If the feds were REALLY worried about drug traffic on our Interstates all they would need to do is just close the borders. They don't really care.

Looks more like a general request for tips and whatnot from the public. Have they opened an investigation yet? The hand wringing starts when subpoenas are issued for hard drives, cellular records, and such. The RCSO needs to be investigated with a bunch of fine tooth comb. A convoy of blacked out Suburbans pulling up unannounced and dozens of federal agents descending on the place and seizing shit is what I’m talking about.

Rankin is reliably GOP so Biden's DOJ needs to hit them.

They can ask any white dope boys in Rankin about the goon squad going back over a decade, they paid them a visit along with the black dope boys. RCSD used to stop me all the time asking who I knew, what I was doing, trying to search my car and self, they can throw Flohood police in there too.

I hope they ride over to Hinds after they clean up this hot mess.
I haven't heard much about the predestinarian that JPD killed and covered up lately.
Seems police corruption is our state motto.

We already know about the wire taps and cameras Head goon requested and got to check on his girl friend. That is enough to remove him from his job. The fact that he is still there is a sigh the feds have something else in mind for him. I, for one, will be very happy when they decide they have enough on him.

Can someone enlighten me/us on the camera scandal? It’s been mentioned a few times over the last few weeks but only tangentially.

I hope the Feds make Bailey cry. He is an absolute embarrassment and the apologists who think the ends justify the means are just as scary.

You can say you are a law abiding citizen so this does not affect you, all day.
But let a liberal get into office and abuse this elected power and come for you or your family in ways that trample your rights and you won't feel that way.

Conservatives supporting corrupt cops is as bad a lunatic liberals supporting BLM corruption.
Wrong is wrong.

"Elward forced Jenkins to his knees for a “mock execution,” intending to fire the gun without a bullet. But it was loaded, and discharged, cutting Jenkins’ tongue, breaking his jaw and exiting through his neck.

As Jenkins bled on the floor, the officers devised a cover story for investigators: Elward brought Jenkins into a side room to stage a drug bust over the phone and said Jenkins reached for a gun when he was released from handcuffs.

Middleton offered to plant an unregistered gun, but Elward said he would use the BB gun. Dedmon volunteered to plant methamphetamine he had received from an informant."


***
The officers kept quiet as pressure mounted from a Justice Department civil rights probe. One came forward in June, Sheriff Bailey said.

Bailey said Thursday that he was lied to and only learned the truth when he read unsealed court documents. McAlpin and Elward worked under Bailey for years and were sued several times for alleged misconduct.

The sheriff said the deputies violated existing body camera rules by not wearing them when in uniform. He promised to mandate body cameras be turned on with fewer exceptions and said he was open to more federal oversight. He also called the officers “criminals,” echoing federal prosecutors. "

Not to be an ass here, but I don't think the word "predestinarian", means what you think it does. If that is the word you intended, religious freedom is in serious trouble.

People want to act like the goon squad is new. RCSO has been running the hustle for at least 25 years. You have to follow the money. They will do anything and I mean anything to pop a low level user (yes even cannabis) so they can get people rolling on each other until they hit a pay day. They try to intimidate somebody into ratting on a dealer, then half the dealers cash goes missing, then the rest gets taken through civil asset forfeiture. They have it down. It’s all fun and games until a goon squad has your 18 year old son spreading cheeks on the side of 471 because somebody thought they saw a pot seed. Bailey has been involved in the shakedown personally for a long time. The problem is that nobody ever stopped it and it metastasized into this…an international embarrassment and potentially devastating lawsuit and looming uninsurability. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Bryan Bailey is a 2 bit clown that has sold his fellow citizens down the river due to his addiction to the spoils of fighting the drug war all while avoiding accountability by evoking his love of Jesus. He is a disgraceful, sanctimonious, narcissistic, and shameful man. He should be shunned.

The Bottom Line said...

"Oh you loons, there's plenty of dirt on Bailey just in what's publicly available. But the more they're able to establish a pattern of abuse..."

All for naught. When summoned to face the music, Bailey, through his high-dollar ambulance-chaser, will plead to one count and wear ankle jewelry for 18 months.

I noticed in the news that our country is filing war crimes charges against Russian military members. Reading through the charges made me thing Russian military will have to take a back seat when it comes to the goon squad. Seems the Russian military are not near as cruel as the goonies.

Sure will be interesting watching how it all plays out!

BTW Great comments...

It’s interesting that the one cop had some extra meth just lying around. If meth is able to fall out of the custody chain, you can bet all the cash that gets confiscated by these Rankin county deputies doesn’t get processed. They probably make about 50-60k officially but the real money they get is the tax free cash. They probably give the department a portion to make it look legit. The war on drugs is a racket. We still have the same amount of addicts, but we end up with an extra gang rolling the streets violating people and a lot of government grifters like Bailey trying to get a cut. Meanwhile the feds just let it pour across the border.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
