Is anyone surprised? This is literally their playbook. Lie and fabricate misinformation then double down when called out. Next will be more personal smears/attacks.

1:35, you described Ms Today perfectly.

Two things can be true at the same time. (1) Rankin County has an issue with the Sheriff's Department. It needs to be cleaned up and cleaned up quickly. (2) Mississippi Today is partisan, unethical, and a sh***y tabloid. They do a poor job.

To any news outlet pursuing RSO and / or Brian Bailey:
Quit wasting our time. You are trying to insert yourselves as entities having more power, resources, ability and motivation than the Federal Government to send Sherriff Bailey to jail. None of you want, or wanted Brian Bailey crushed more than the feds. You are a spec of sand compared to the US Department of Justice and even they couldn't do it.
In your world only a public lynching would satisfy the thirst you possess to literally kill him. Fortunately for the rest of us, these fabrications are equal only to the latest comment from MSNBC, CNN, or the other rabid liberals spewing whatever they choose.

We are laughing at you.

Bryan Bailey and Mississippi Today deserve each other.

Mississippi today is a left wing news paper

Like the man willing to go through shock therapy for a coke, this clown is willing to lie in order to keep Bailey's cattle prod out of his ass.

2:26 is exactly right, two things can be true. However, Rankin County government as a whole is one of the most corrupt county governments in the state. The Sheriff’s Office is the poster boy for the county as a whole.
The Sheriff should have resigned when any one of the numerous abuses of power by either himself or his deputies came to light.
The Goon Squad is the most notorious and if he knew anything about it (which I believe he did) he should be in prison as well. If he did not know, he should have and therefore resigned for not having control over his deputies.
The old guard is trying hard to keep change from coming, but the demographic is changing quickly in the county. Elections in the future are going to be interesting.

You guys would side with Satan himself if the newspaper reporting on him were perceived to be liberal. I would bet my life on yall doing the wrong thing.

Mississippi Today is nothing more than left-wing propaganda.

Bailey is nothing g more than a dumb redneck.

Both an equally bad.

The High Sheriff of Rankin County needs to get his house in order. Hard to believe the BOS would put up with this lawlessness by Rankin County LEO. Voters and judicial system needs to take action if BOS fails to take action.

What about the local DA?

Maybe AG Fitch or DA Bubba could … oh wait, never mind

Mississippi today is the closest thing to actual journalism in Mississippi. Brian Bailey happens because WLBT etc just read press releases out loud. All this left leaning stuff is funny since there is such a shortage of right leaning media?

Barnum & Bailey

No Pigott, No Pulitzer.

Sheriff let the courts decide, you know better! I know you are not afraid of someone talking about you, sounds like a child. As Mac former Sheriff would say, “ put on your big boy panties”.
Sheriff this is a new generation ain’t like the old days when you had forever loyalty!

I signed up as it was "free"...and then saw the slanted journalism, and canceled...

@ 9:23 pm: how discerning.

This was standard operating procedures before the year 1970’s when officers and inmates worked for the betterment of the High Sheriff (Smile)! In today’s social media focused world most can’t hold water!
Sheriff I feel you but this ain’t the old days your ship has sailed.
Just chill and pad that PERS account.

For those of you saying the Board of Supervisors or Fitch 'should oughta do sumpin' bout this here', what do you suggest? Neither has the power or authority to remove him from office.

I have high hopes that Anna Wolfe will finish her series on the good ole boys of Mississippi. Brett Favre was just the tip of the iceberg. I have mounds of supporting documents that will show the rocks to look under along with important names. I’m pretty if ur a woman and work in a MS company, u are being blatantly discriminated to ur face and they have the gall to tell u. The MS man is what holds this state back. They are not ignorant but stupid. Not fixable. The only hope for MS is to stop the generational curse. I try my fools in the court of public opinion. My responses are mind boggling. Mississippi women think this is normal. I am surprised at what Mississippi women condone. I am beginning to understand the battered woman syndrome. But tell a real professional woman outside MS or anyone else outside the state, they are as appalled as I. I am becoming more and more non Mississippian. I have nothing in common any more.

Remember the days when inmates would thank you after a beating! These new generation inmates are weak! Sheriff you got to changes with the times.

6:02. You are so correct. We redneck booger eating morons will never be able to appreciate your perfectness. I’m surprised you have not been swept up by some talent scout for a Fortune 500 company. Please let us know when you are leaving for greener pastures as us morons would like to give you an appropriate send off.

1962 guy/2:39 PM et al: you all should give these White Liberal Democrats at Mississippi Today and the NYT (those Malcom X warned us about) a break because they’re just trying to make the world a better place.

It’s NOT like they’re NOT also doing “non-biased investigative journalism” (BWAHAHAHA) into other Mississippi counties like Holmes, almost certainly the most corrupt county in the State of Mississippi.

Did you hear about the Holmes County deputy that allegedly protected residents with past due car loans from the repo man? And years ago I personally had a friend tell me his hunting cabin was broken into and the video footage allegedly had one the so-called (high level) law enforcement officer’s relatives as the perp; and you want to guess what happened to him?

So just give MS Today some time, because all of this talk about them only being a mouthpiece of the Democrat Party, and that the Democrat Party is the party of pro-crime, pro-criminal, pro-perversion of children, pro-men in girls sports? It’s just your imagination!!!!

I have a strange recurring dream that Bailey disappears while hunting and it is because he stumbles upon an insanely violent wood booger.

Simply Google, crooked Rankin County Mississippi Sheriff. Sad that so many “ leaders “ in Rankin County and the State of Mississippi chose to look the other way. I am still waiting for that one decent employee with the Rankin County Sheriff’s department, there has to be at least one with a conscience, to speak up.

Ha! Detectives pay for information frequently.

Can't get a date?

Not an MT fan, but sheriff has zero credibility. I know plenty of Rankin residents will defend him and his ways, but he has zero credibility.

Mississippians in this thread really distinguishing themselves, rushing to defend the honor of Sheriff Goon Squad.

At one point, Sheriff Bryan Bailey said,” let’s put this all behind us.” Sheriff Bryan Bailey’s malfeasance, lying, corrupt, abuse of authority, abuse of citizens, covering for abusive deputies has all been well told and documented. These actions are on the scale of the civil rights murders in Philadelphia MS. Bailey’s place in history is cemented as one of the most evil, corrupt times in Rankin County and Mississippi history. That’s the beginning and end of that.

Not defending Rankin County SO one bit but I made a few Facebook comments here and there on the Mississippi Today Facebook page under stories about Rankin County SO. Within 45 minutes, my phone was blowing up of them trying to get information from me, wanting to meet up to interview me, etc. I have NO CLUE how they got my cell phone number or anything of the sort... and I have NO information to help them or for them... just a normal civilian that was making a "my opinion" comment. It was weird. I had to block the number.

The sheriff was in on the whole Good Squad thing. According to folks working for the AG's office, the FBI was investigating the sheriff because he allegedly gave the order to abuse those 2 men, in the case that sent the Goon Squad to prison. That's what friends at the AG's office told me.

The humor comes from how completely serious and confident Bailey is—much like Loyd and Harry's IOUs scribbled on scrap paper like they are totally legitimate substitutes for actual ransom money.
