Green pleads guilty to civil rights violation.
The Pearl Police Department issued the following statement.
Yesterday, the United States Attorney’s Office unsealed a criminal information against former patrolman Michael Christian Green. The charge relates to a December 23, 2023 video the City provided to the FBI, which appears to show former Officer Green bullying an arrestee into licking his own urine off the floor.
When the City discovered this disturbing incident over the Christmas weekend, it quickly opened an internal investigation. By December 27, 2023, Officer Green was relieved of his duties.
Following the incident, the City engaged Attorney Candace Gregory, a former federal prosecutor and Director of Mississippi’s Public Integrity Division, to supplement the City’s internal investigation. Attorney Gregory is in the process of reviewing the police department’s policies and procedures and providing training assistance.
To be clear, this incident is beyond deplorable to City officials. Michael Green does not represent the values and standards within the Pearl Police Department. The charged actions have both embarrassed and dishonored the faithful officers who serve and protect our City every day.
We will keep you updated on further developments.
Update: The Justice Department issued the following statement.
A former police officer with the Pearl, Mississippi Police Department, pleaded guilty today to one count of acting under color of law to deprive a person of his civil rights.
According to court documents and information presented in court, Michael Christian Green, 26, while on duty as a certified law enforcement officer with the Pearl Police Department, forced an arrestee in custody to lick urine from the floor of a holding cell within the police department.
Green pleaded guilty to Deprivation of Civil Rights Under Color of Law in violation of Title 18 United States Code Section 242. He is scheduled to be sentenced on June 12, 2024, and faces a maximum penalty of 12 months in prison. A federal magistrate judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
U.S. Attorney Todd W. Gee of the Southern District of Mississippi and Acting Special Agent in Charge Maher Dimachkie of the FBI’s Jackson Field Office made the announcement.
This case was investigated by the Jackson Division of the FBI.
Kingfish note: The Justice Department charged Green with violating the suspect's civil rights. The bill of information states Green was dispatched to address a "family disturbance" at Sam's in Pearl. Green arrested a man and took him to the holding facility at the Pearl Police Department.
The suspect knocked on the door repeatedly and said he needed to take a leak. After his pleas were ignored, the suspect went to a corner of the cell and did his business.
The Bill of Information alleges Green went nuts:
Green looked at B.E. and stated, ""Let me tell you somethin'. You see this phone? I will beat your fucking ass with it. You're fixin' to go in there and you're gonna lick that piss up. Do you understand me?" D. Green repeated the command that B.E. ""lick it up."" Green went on to tell B.E. to ""go suck it up right now."" B.E. was returned to the holding cell. While standing in the doorway of the holding cell, Green commanded that B.E. get on the ground and ""suck it up."" Green removed his phone from his duty vest and filmed B.E. while B.E. got on the ground and licked his urine. (KF: He was dumb enough to film it?) B.E. gagged when he made contact with the floor. In response to B.E.'s gagging, Green told B.E., ""don't spit it out."" B.E. gagged again. Green responded to B.E.'s second gagging episode by stating, ""lick that shit up. Drink your fuckin' piss."" B.E. gagged a third time. Green did not have a government interest or law enforcement purpose in ordering B.E. to lick his urine. E. B.E. was eventually allowed to leave the holding cell. After returning to the booking area, B.E. repeatedly vomited in the booking area garbage can."
Green waived indictment so he will soon plead guilty to the crime.
In a truly just world, Green would be forced to drink his own.... well, you get the idea.

Has Green applied at RCSO yet?
Pearl is in Rankin County after all. He was probably practicing for a try out at the sheriffs office.
Dumb shit. Enjoy BOP.
Green was just taking the practical test for the Goon Squad. It's a Rankin thing.
Hopefully the feds will completely take the case, because if this remains local, well you know where I’m going with this.
Bet Greene has short man syndrome and that incident made him feel super big and powerful. Hope you get a "taste" of your own medicine.
I would take my chances with the beating, try to fight back.
Rankin County is rotten.
Vote Green for Rankin County Sheriff. He's a natural.
What does the Rankin County Law Enforcement job application ask for? Do you have experience in total perversion, degeneracy, bondage, SM, torture and vomit/urine eating? Can you get a fellow officer shot through incompetency? Do you perform regularly in the sex trade off duty and want to have a badge? Is your GF worth lying on a warrant for? Did ISIS reject you for being too sick and perverted? Is Hamas too soft for your job preferences? Join Rankin Law Enforcement!
We need new Chiefs and a Sheriff across the board. Maybe Flo Po is still decent. But, the County, Pearl, Richland? Sick people. Lowest of standards. White trash and thugs, with impunity. The "Rankin County Mafia" is a true story. Headed by a craven felon, meetings hosted by yet another rich guy who wants to tell us how great he is and will probably write yet another book about how wonderful it is being rich.
And Bryan???? Hell, are we going to have to wait for DOJ to jail him or something?
I know, I know. Posse Comitatus is big among our degenerate Rankin LiberaLtarians and dope/liqour salesman-Representatives and the BOS. They wouldn't want a normal person as head of these armed agencies. Heh heh.
Rankin County has become Pottersville. Well, I George Bailey, am divesting and moving. I just love how our "free thinkers" have ranted for 20 years that we need even more booze and dope. To just perfect this utopia in Rankin, I guess. What could happen? Pottersville.
LE pre-employment background investigations in Mississippi are a joke.
Holy moly! Is there some type of lobotomies that are done on Rankin LEOs that makes them the dumbest people on the planet?
Suggest that he begin drinking his own piss to get some sort of acclimation.
In a position officers can be wonderful mentors and Stewards to help someone turn their lives around. There was an Engineering Professor from MS State that once did prison ministry. He is retired now. A man with that much intellect and yet he chose to use it to further God leading him to help others. Like the Oxford shooter had his parents decided to get him the help the young man asked for 4 wonderful young persons would still be alive. We are to be the Light of Jesus and not the Darkness of Satan. There are many good LEO’s who are not coward s as Green acted. Punish those who do wrong and praise those who do good!
Additional training can't fix what's behind this incident.
AT LEAST- Pearl PD did the right thing and self reported? If not for that this would be just another long line of stuff swept under the rug.
all these rankin county law enforcement have some serious pent up homo erotic tendencies.
In no way do I condone, or justify, this man's actions, but how can anyone believe this action came from a healthy mind?
Mental illness is a serious problem in this country, and needs to be addressed immediately. All law enforcement should be required to take pre-employment psych exams, and periodic exams thereafter.
Respect for the rule of law is a cornerstone of a civilized society. Respect for the law, and law enforcement, is at an all-time low, and is continually dropping. Something must be done if we are to survive as a society.
Hope the new chief does better background checks. Pearl has one or two officers that wouldn't pass a background anywhere else.
@9:56 AM - Spare us the psychobabble, Mr. Apologist. He is a bully, period! That is not a mental illness, period!
Rankin sheriffs dept, highway patrolmen and patrol women, Pearl police, yada yada….
They employ some real winners in Rankin County law enforcement.
KF, in a truly just world, Green would be forced to eat his own.... well, you get the idea.
Maybe someone can cook him a nice chocolate pie.
@9:56 - police officers need to respect the law as well, that is the issue. Until that is fixed, police don’t deserve respect.
That’ll be another 8 figure settlement for Rankin to add to the books. Sure hope the citizens don’t want their tax money going to anything helpful.
That officer is a perverted freak. Who hires these psychos?
Pearl cannot background check anyone cause the mayor pays his officers 32k a year. Who else are they gonna hire? Third and fourth chance PD. You get what you pay for
8:29
Well, bye.
and this is just what we know about.
I'm sure if he hadn't licked his pee, he would of been charged with disorderly conduct or disobeying a law enforcement officer. what a bunch of Bullsh*t that MS laws are.
Mugshot?
Not playing pile on, but being familiar more than I would like to admit, going back to the early 80's, Pearl has a history of less than desirable and at times, bullying officers.
And in those days when officers were allowed to grow out beards for Pearl day, it seem to be worst.
LEO’s do have mental questions asked as well. Perhaps MS should adopt federal employment policies. These were 10 to 12 pages where family members had background info on them in th screening process. Also field agents go out & meet with former employers & applicants.His would require investigators to be in the office of their full time employers not double dipping in another office. Just a thought but what could it possibly hurt to have better suite employees who love & respect those they serve.
LEO lawsuits and shady traffic cams.
Rankin county sounds like hell.

I prefer Caesar with my word salad. Thanks
This moron looks kinda young to need that toupee.
8:29 IF you even live in Rankin County, you know good and damn well you're not moving. Quit virtue signaling, and shut up.
The so called war on ‘wokeness’ is to prevent these reports from being seen as problematic. Sleepers will blame the victim for being in jail in the first place. These are not isolated situations in Rankin County, the dehumanization takes place across the country regardless of race especially, if the economic stature is not acceptable by that system. Rankin county is just in the spot light but it happens all over the great state of Mississippi even without the surname of a goon squad. Certain areas receive the benefit of being served and protected while others are policed…that’s the reality and little will change even with “training” and DEI. A family residing in the poorest area of Mississippi in a trailer park will not be seen as being equal to someone living in the richest part of Mississippi in a mansion, even if they are law abiding citizens that work everyday and bring home less than living wages.
Rankinites with Rankin.
For those of us who believe that some offenders deserve an eye-for-an-eye type of punishment, perhaps part of Christian's punishment should be to lick up the victim's urine. And for good measure, eat his shit. In my over 40 years as an attorney who sued law enforcement officers for violating the public's civil rights, I came to the conclusion years ago that all too often, the only difference between officers who are sworn to uphold the law, and criminal defendants, is who is wearing the badge.
Governor Reeves, you need to step up and decertify every law enforcement agency in Rankin County, bring in MHP, and clean up this mess.
The best officers 32k a year can buy….
I would have chosen the beating if that’s all the officer really would have done, but it’s quite possibly this psycho with a pee fetish would have raped and beaten the man to death if he refused. Where does Rankin find these monsters? This cop would make most of the whitfield patients look like well adjusted adults in comparison. Hopefully his future cellmate can teach him the “Golden Rule”.
watch mayor jake windhams press conference on WLBT website.
at 1:48 he refers to this matter as an act of ''negligence''.................in other words , this was just an accident.
SOB needs to be put under the prison.
the city hires a former Assistant U S attorney from the phelps dunbar law firm to conduct an ''independent investigation'' of what happened here.
in case you are unaware the phelps dunbar firm is one of those stuffed shirt law firms that charge a
i see the city hired the phelps dunbar law firm to do an ''independent investigation'' on what happened.
im sure they paid phelps about a $ 75,000.00 retainer billed against about a $900.00 hourly rate.
how can this firm do an ''independent investigation '' when its the city that is paying them?
besides, a FREE investigation was already being done by a couple of other organizations, namely the FBI and the office of the united states attorney , a/k/a the federal prosecutors.
another example of what total morons run the city of pearl.
@3:22 - HAHAHAHA - bring in MHP to clean up?! Seriously?? Those jokers have just as much problems as the Rankin County agencies. They are just better able to hide it due to politics.
Note: He is a former JPD and Flowood officer, meaning he likely was fired or resigned under pressure.
Seeing him on WAPT at 5:00 leaving the court house, well, he looks like the stereotype bully.
Come on chiefs, DO EFFECTIVE BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS.
yet again the feds have to come tp pearl to flush the toilet
Officer Green would not come into my jail and do what he did. I would fire every jailer on duty during that booking process. Officer Green’s job was to drop the prisoner off and leave!!!
This behavior is way off the rails. A sick POS!
Peal is total garbage. They run speed traps and harass people just to fill ticket quotas.
F them.
dean scott, wes shivers, bryan bailey, goon squad all under the watch of our board of supervisors why did bailey get a 43 k raise for emergency shelter supervision admist all this? why did dean scott and sullivans get second incomes under board of supervisors as well? kick backs? fbi and doj need to look deep at our county!!!!! please!!!! hope all the pretend to be Baptist dirt bag criminals go to jail no shame no fear of God? apparently not
While most of you Goobs are fixated on Niknar LEO and the Sheriff, I would like to point out that this comment in the report is what we have come to expect from the feds:
"Green did not have a government interest or law enforcement purpose in ordering B.E. to lick his urine."
I would like to piggyback on the comment 8:08pm stated; Law Enforcement arrest and transport suspects to jail for booking. Once the Officer and prisoner enter said facility the officers duty stop! The Officer releases the inmate to the jail personnel and then leaves the facility!
After saying the aforementioned, you go figure!! This is a pattern of behavior that just didn’t start that day!
To Officer Green, I don’t know what you were thinking that particular day to humiliate and demean any human being the why you did this man is beyond my comprehension!
I worked in jails for many years, this is a hard pill to swallow but your behavior that day bought tears to my eyes!
Jail is for pre trail detainees, you were the judge and jury that day, with punishment way too inhuman for out society.
You are one sick fuck and I’m sure it’s more officers out there patrolling our streets just like you.
What are the citizens of Rankin county supposed to do? If we need help with someone breaking the law and call the sheriff's office they will likely send out a deputy that is worse than the people causing the problem. Is there anyone anywhere we can call for help? Are we supposed to take care of the problem ourselves? What are we supposed to do?
I will echo 11:37 and ask you much more legal savvy peeps, what is the most effective way for Rankin residents to express our displeasure?
I am so tired of this and want true consequences and change.
