Couldn't write this as a fiction script if you tried.

What a disgrace for Rankin County. A permanent scar.

The governor needs to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the rankin county sheriff’s office

The Barksdalers are so powerless.

This looks to me like a-hole culture, hiding behind Bible studies and prayer breakfasts.

Local DA too busy? Or…

If these Rankin County jail employees put a shock vest and activate it, on an inmate the say they are fond of, what are they doing to the inmates they don’t like. Absolutely sick, deplorable, sadistic and ILLEGAL actions by and in The Rankin County Sheriff’s Department. With video evidence, how can this not be prosecuted?

Mississippi has got to have the most corrupt law enforcement officers in the U.S. Everyday it seems something disturbing comes out. When will it stop? Get rid of these bad apples. Enough is enough. Quit letting them jump from department to department. They are no good. Integrity is a must. MLEOTA just graduated a ton of new officers. Give them the jobs.

Exactly 3:01. The worst.

The fish rots from the head down.

But yall they gave their token pet “boy” a coke after they abused him!

Just like the Niknar white trash who takes his wife to whataburger after he beats her!

Also - hidden in the background, is a case heard this week by oral argument in the Mississippi Court of Appeals of what appears to have been another beating resulting in the arrestee's death by Deputy Edleman a couple of years ago. The lawsuit filed by the family against Rankin County was (surprise, don't get shocked by this) dismissed on Summary Judgment by a Rankin County Judge, which is the basis for the appeal argument.

Reading between the "tea leaves' (as we did on the Keith Carter post above) the Rankin County Deputies killed a mentally challenged individual who had committeed a crime - not a felony, and not one that put anyone in bodily harm - during their arresting him. One of the two deputies involved has since pled guilty to lying in producing arrest records among other things; the second deputy who arrived at the party late has not beein convicted of any such crime recently, only participated in the email exchanges with others who had.

Hate to say it about Donna Barksdale and her rag, but I think they are on to something here that continues to unravel the mess going on in Stankin-Rankin and their lawless law enforcement.

Not to worry - The High Sherf, like the D.A. over in Jackson, will just pump out more press releases hyping department accomplishments and all you goobs will relax and whisper.... .

For those who don't know, there have always been cops who are mean by their own nature. There just have always been cell phones. It used to be WORSE.

Hidden how? Be specific.

7:56 PM said "It used to be WORSE." This reminded me of Sheriff J. B. Torrence. I grew up during his time as sheriff. All I really remember is the thought of being arrested in Rankin County while he was sheriff was enough to make someone steer clear of Rankin County. Now I don't know if any of it was true, but that is what I remember. There was a honky tonk across the street from the Oldsmobile place and I think I remember a relative of his running it.

The silence is deafening from all state leaders, AG, Governor, etc., (all MSGOP like Bailey)

Sounds like a case of two evils going at each other. Pro-crime, pro-criminal Democrat New York Times & pro-crime, pro-criminal Democrat MS Today going after low IQ LEO’s abusing inmates.

Am I missing anything?

@7:22 you forgot to add racist. Because that is a huge part of it. Bailey and his boys are mostly 5’7” and shorter manlets with inferiority complexes when dealing sith larger AA men with more athletic builds than their pint-sized beer bellied physiques combined with deeply ingrained racism. Thats why they rely so heavily on “trustees” to help them in a fight because even when armed they are outmatched 1 on 1.

@7:22 AM has a good grasp on the situation. Two opposing forces, both with agendas, saying “Why don’t you, John Q. Schmoe, get angry about what they’re trying to do?”

The incompetence coming from the higher ups in the state government is astonishing. But then again, all they care about is their political capital.

Signed Womp Womp

Same reason politicians never get prosecuted, they are laws for us and more legal protections for them.

Again, there has to be at least ONE decent human being with a conscience and a soul in the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department, who comprehends the difference between right and wrong, willing to stand up and be honest about the evil doings that are committed at the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department. I hope, every time you try to lay down and sleep, you are haunted by the thoughts of the evil hidden and covered up. Twist in Diogenes” I’m looking for an honest Rankin County Sheriff’s Department Employee”

If you are Hispanic and/or have Texas license plates on your car or truck, you WILL get pulled over after entering Rankin county,Mississippi.

this is more disgraceful than the goon squad
. the feds need to to come in yet again and flush the toilet.

Sheriff Bailey needs to spend some time in Old Bailey. (For those of you in Rankin County it's a play on words. Old Bailey is the courts building in London.)

Hidden in the sense that most people aren't reading the handdowns of the MS Court of Appeals. Yes, if you are an attorney, or just a nerd, or for some other strange reason you followed this oral argument, you wouldn't have heard about it. Certainly hasn't been reported, either by this site or its favorite counterpart, MS Today.

To be specific, you can find it - easily, kinda like when playing Hide & Seek as a kid; if you know where to look its not very well hidden. (Hint: Google MS Court of Appeals; decisions - then it won't be hidden any longer.) Got it?

Not sure exactly what you expect the "higher ups" in state government to do at this point. Unlike our President, who thinks he is the absolute authority and the separation of powers along with the statutory responsibilities of various elected positions, our state still runs on a constitutionally created higharchy.

Please explain who in the "higher ups" you think needs to act, and then follow it up with a legal explanation of exactly what it is you think they can do, and how.

How can one take pleasure in the pain of this man who was incarcerated? They laughed while he had painful electricity go throughout his body. He was sentenced to time in prison not torture by the staff.

Do these people who took pleasure in torturing Mr. Buckholdt go to church? God bless their souls if they have one.

8:17 AM, racism may or may not be a factor with the Rankin LEO. One day I witnessed a Rankin Deputy giving the appearance of low IQ threaten attorney’s on the courthouse steps in Brandon, and those being threatened were all white. He just didn’t seem to care who he abused.

But we do know the New York Times and MS Today are a bunch of racists. Don’t remember ever hearing much from either of these propaganda papers when the two very young innocent black children were killed with stray bullets in their homes within 10 days of each other in pro-crime pro-criminal Democrat Jackson, MS. Of course we’ve all pretty much heard the old saying, “that white person that you see calling himself a liberal is the most dangerous thing in the entire Western Hemisphere.” And we all know the New York Times and MS Today are pro-crime pro-criminal Democrats, regardless of how many young innocent black children die. Hard to get more racist that that.

6:54, Qualified immunity at the federal level, and tort immunity at the state level, are hardly a racist conspiracy by Rankin County.

It also doesn’t help the credibility of the case when the mother of the deceased changes her story after hiring a new set of attorneys, including Malik Shabazz.

Plus, apparently the deceased had a high level of meth in his system, which is probably why the taser couldn’t stop him.

Here’s the trial court order, for anyone who wants to read it.

In what world is it legal to even possess a 'shock vest', much less USE one?

If a restraint chair is no longer legal in a psychiatric setting, surely a shock vest is not legal in ANY setting.

Agree and where is Ms Today and the NYTs with respect to the 14 arrested in the Delta by the FBI? Doesn’t fit the narrative. Let me fix it for you Ms Today. The Delta has been corrupt for decades. They can run to their church for protection and fund raising for their corrupt congressman but again “wrong narrative” for your quislings! If you are going to report then report it both ways. Why have you laid off the corrupt DA in Hinds county? Why don’t you report on the corrupt Jan 6th hearings and our own Ms Congressman’s part in that debacle? The Pulitzer (the one with the asterisk) that should be taken away from your reporter for blatant cherry picking and unsourced reporting is dusty and moth eaten by now I suppose. Certainly it must feel pretty hollow knowing how undeserved it was. But that’s another story! Finally where are you MS Today and NYTs on the killing fields at high school football games in the Delta?! As a reminder recently 6 people “SIX” were murdered at a ball game? Guess it’s not a story for you unless the violators fit into your shallow narrative!

@ 3:35 you are in serious need of a mental evaluation!
