How 6 Mississippi officers tried to cover up their torture of 2 Black men

Six white former law enforcement officers in Mississippi have pleaded guilty to a racist assault on Michael Corey Jenkins and his friend Eddie Terrell Parker.

The former law officers admitted in August to subjecting Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker to numerous acts of racially motivated, violent torture.

Prompted by a neighbor’s complaint in January 2023 that Jenkins and Parker were staying in a home with a white woman, the group of six burst in without a warrant and assaulted Jenkins and Parker with stun guns, a sex toy and other objects.

After a mock execution went awry when Jenkins was shot in the mouth, they devised a coverup that included planting drugs and a gun. The Rankin County Sheriff’s Department then supported the deputies’ false charges, which stood against Jenkins and Parker for months.

On the federal charges, Dedmon and Elward each face a maximum sentence of 120 years plus life in prison and $2.75 million in fines. Hartfield faces a possible sentence of 80 years and $1.5 million, McAlpin faces 90 years and $1.75 million, Middleton faces 80 years and $1.5 million, and Opdyke could be sentenced to 100 years with a $2 million fine.

The former officers agreed to prosecutor-recommended sentences ranging from five to 30 years in state court, but time served for separate convictions at the state level will run concurrently with the potentially longer federal sentences.

Heard about this for the first time yesterday, shyt like this still happening. sounds like something straight out of early 1900s, they keep saying racism is dead or dying, nah not that shyt still alive and well

might be a secret clause in the judgement

 

[TheKongoEmpire]

But Nature Boy got life.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Rankin county has been long overdue for government intervention. Hopefully this is just the start.

 

[8WON6]

hope they actually serve the whole sentence.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Should’ve gotten more time

Read about it earlier.. they all should get more but there will be supposedly federal charges as well

They called themselves some kinda dumb ass gang too, that were also involved in cases with other black men, 2 that died.

On top of all the dumb and gay shyt they were trying to do to them, they stuck a gun in one dudes mouth and shot him which broke his jaw amongst other damage and he still cant talk right. Then they tried to cover it up with fake guns and drugs (still.. explain how you shoot someone in the mouth at point blank range if it’s just an arrest).

Poured random shyt on them too then tried to make them shower together and get them to do sexual shyt in the shower with each other.

So yeah… these dudes deserve life. Brothers are suing for 400 million and they deserve every bit of it. Also, anybody they arrested needs/should be free

 

[ORDER_66]

still dont understand the WHY tho, why the sexual assault on top of everything else fukking demons...

Put them in gen pop no protection!!!

 

[Gizza]

They need to be killed!!! That’s pure depravity only an edomite would find pleasure in.

They didn't do shyt right, they refused to drop the false charges until a federal investigation was opened.
