Update: BLJ found out UMMC does not allow press conferences on its campus so no press conference was held.
Michael Jenkins was shot in the mouth, while handcuffed, by Rankin County Mississippi Police on 1/23/23 Black Lawyers for Justice, by way of thorough investigation has confirmed that this outrage is true. Michael was shot in private residence, not in the heat of passion, but in a deliberate act of prolonged hostage taking and illegal interrogation by Rankin County Cops. This viscous interrogation, which netted near to nothing, was performed these 6 white cops using acts of water boarding the two detained men (meaning to drown them with milk) picking , kicking, slapping and tasing the two Black men and pointing guns to their heads and mouths for an extended time period...... until one of the officers gun off went off for real; and shot Michael in the mouth severely injuring him and damaging the young man for life. This shooting was completely unjustified! On Monday January 13th A News Conference will be held at 3pm eastern at University of Mississippi Medical Center. Black Lawyers for Justice and attorney Malik Z. Shabazz and state attorneys will be present along activists and organizers supporting Michael Jenkins to represent Michael and Terrell; who were brutality terrorized by these White officers For more information on this case you can email Black Lawyers for Justice @ attorney.shabazz @yahoo.com Or contact Sherrell Potts or PRenae Brooks Khadijah Shabazz
The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is investigating the case. An MBI January 25 press release states:
deputies were conducting a narcotics investigation on 135 Conerly Road in Braxton. Once they reached the scene around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday, a suspect pointed a gun toward the deputies before being shot.
Stay tuned.

I choose not to believe the lawyers’ allegations. . Does that make me a bad person?
Viscous?
These clowns can't even spell.
It's hard to take an attorney seriously when they can't produce intelligently written sentences.
Rankin county has earned their reputation for heavy handed police that target minorities. This could get real bad if it’s even half true. If they have to start digging through past cases, expect the feds to set up shop and stay a while.
I'll be sure to attend..............NOT!!!!
they?
This should be easy to clear up. Let’s take a look at the body cam footage and see what happened. As long as the officers were acting within the law, I’m sure their body cam will clear them. If they didn’t have the cameras on during a home invasion drug raid,, we can probably assume everything the attorney said is true and Rankin will have some serious problems from the fallout.
Whatever law school issued the writer a degree should be shut down for incompetence. And the undergraduate college as well. I’ve seen better written middle school reports. Oh, and who are the “Rankin County Cops”? I’m not familiar with that agency.
Waterboard with milk is a blatant lie. Rankin cops would use hot bacon grease.
Anybody can call themselves darn near whatever they want to get a little attention and to hold a "rally". A "press release" is just a piece of paper with any story they want to tell to get a little attention. Who are these people anyway?

Apparently they/them is singular now.
"This viscous interrogation, which netted near to nothing, was performed these 6 white cops using acts of water boarding the two detained men (meaning to drown them with milk) picking , kicking, slapping and tasing the two Black men and pointing guns to their heads and mouths for an extended time period...... until one of the officers gun off went off for real"
I can't. The whole press release, but for real...And the @yahoo.com email address. Certainly, if this were legit, we would have a more polished atty than Shabazz.
I just looked at Shabazz's Facebook. Black Panther party as well as the NFAC(Not Fk'ing Around Coalition). I am certain he is here to stir stuff up. 110%. His FB is lit!
I stopped at 'shot in the mouth' when the picture shows no mouth injury. Frankly, I don't care WHERE he was shot if he produced and pointed a gun at a LEO.
These lawyers can pound waffles. At IHOP.
To what and how does the post @ 1:23 relate?
Bailey made a statement on this yet of any substance ?
No. MBI is handling it so he is out.
I don’t know much about rally’s but they should probably hold this in rankin county near the location of said incident.
Gibbs won't be there. He's not a real lawyer. Rukia is there for sure!
Malik Shabazz is a racist black nationalist with a long, well-documented history of violently anti-Semitic remarks and accusations about the inherent evil of white people. He is also particularly skilled at orchestrating provocative protests. Ousted from the Nation of Islam after he became an embarrassment even to that hard-line group, Shabazz went on to take up the leadership of the New Black Panther Party."

So I guess Lumumba considers him a ally.
While it's POSSIBLE this happened the way the lawyers are claiming, I believe it's improbable. Just read what they claimed happened to this guy. They took them hostage and waterboarded him with milk? Does that really sound like something that would happen in 2023? As I said above, it's possible, but highly improbable.
The way I judge the credibility of a report, coming from people with a pecuniary interest in making those claims, is whether they admit to some sort of criminality. They ALWAYS omit the criminality. In fact, what they'd have you believe is that their client was sitting at home, reading his bible, when 6 jackbooted thugs (another popular description) broke down his door and assaulted him for no reason. Well, other than he was black.
Looks to me this is just another page from the same playbook.
“not in the heat of passion”
What is this clown even talking about?
If they spent as much time and effort trying to keep these guys out of trouble as they do on raising hell afterwards, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Another race hustler comes to town.
Isn’t Malik Shabazz the clown who infamously said “I hate every iota of a cracka” and then proceeded to command his follow to “kill they cracka babies”
Past events in Jackson and z Memphis show that race is not the issue in police shootings. The deputies could have done this and if the account is true, they should be punished. Just let the investigation proceed and see how it comes out. The lawyers should do this too. Don’t jump to conclusions about guilt or innocence.
Netted near to nothing ain’t exactly nothing.
Me thinks the Feds will have to step in , I would imagine DPS doesn’t want this hot potato. If so and they dig this will turn out like the Alex Murdaugh case.
@2:57 - the same logic of credibility can be applied to the police reports. In officer involved shootings, they always claim the victim was pointing a gun or reaching for the officers gun and then the report usually states something like the victim failed to obey orders and suffered a gunshot wound. The reports never state Officer White Guy fired 5 times killing the man who was holding a banana.
Milkboarding? That’s a new one on me…sounds like BS!

Maybe the LEOs were spitting tobacco? After all, this DID take place in Rankin County...
158,000 was the population of Rankin County in 2021. Of all the people in that County why was this man targeted? It’s certainly not that the deputies were looking for him to give an award!
Why, why my baby, he ain’t did nothing wrong! 1 of 158,000.
Rankin County got some kick ass Law Enforcement
Keep Rankin County Safe
If I was going to tell a lie I would make it believable. The cops may have put the guy in the hospital, but it didn't happen that way.
I bet about 30-40 people turned out to protest
1:07 PM, looking at Rankin County's (Whole fuk'n county) body count compared to city of jackson's, I'll go with Rankin's respose.
Canceled. So sad. It was too viscous of a location anyway.
Its sad that racism has become so rare that folks need to manufacture it.
We should be holding press events to celebrate that fact instead.
UMMC ain't even in Rankin County... SMH.
If you haven’t read the NATIONAL PRESS CONFERENCE then please do so. It would be comical if it wasn’t so pitiful. I don’t know who this organization is, but they string together a hodgepodge of incomplete sentences, misspelled words and atrocious grammar. It is difficult to even begin to comprehend what they are attempting to say. Their statement is nonsensical at best and complete garbage at worst.
Dudes just trying to profit off of the viscous attacks done to others.
Looks like the sheriff is refusing to say if his gang had a warrant. The man they shot had his throat bandaged at the press conference. MBI is on the case so it’ll be tough for Rankin to keep the coverup in house. This is going to gain a lot of attention from outside the state. We will see if Rankin officers can be on their best behavior so they aren’t caught violating the constitutional rights of the protestors, but old habits die hard.
Looks like the victim had surgery to remove his tongue. How could that happen since there doesn’t appear to be any gunshot wound to his face. It’s seems the cops did have a gun down his throat when they tried to execute him after their torture session concluded. These are some sickos who shouldn’t be near guns, let alone entrusted to uphold the law. The lawsuit is said to be for $90 million. Sure hope the rankin taxpayers don’t mind paying a little more for their rogue police force.
