  • When Green transferred BE to the booking area, he was informed that BE had urinated in his holding cell. Green then threatened to “beat [his] fucking ass” and ordered BE to “go in there and you’re gonna lick that piss up”.

    BE was returned to the holding cell where Green commanded him to “suck it up”. Green then started to film BE as he got on the floor and licked his urine, which made him start to gag.

    “Don’t spit it out,” Green ordered BE, according to the documents. “Lick that shit up. Drink your fuckin’ piss.”

    When BE was allowed to leave his holding cell, he repeatedly vomited in a garbage can. He was eventually transferred to a detention center in Brandon, Mississippi.

  • Rankin County. They have a goon squad that’s gotten away with murder for decades.

    Content Warning, violence

    For nearly two decades, a loose band of sheriff’s deputies roamed impoverished neighborhoods across a central Mississippi county, meting out their own version of justice.

    Narcotics detectives and patrol officers, some who called themselves the Goon Squad, barged into homes in the middle of the night, accusing people inside of dealing drugs. Then they handcuffed or held them at gunpoint and tortured them into confessing or providing information, according to dozens of people who say they endured or witnessed the assaults.

    Used to work with a woman who’s brother was pulled over and had the shit beaten out of him by the Rankin Sheriff’s dept. And this isn’t some backwater town either, it’s a highly-developed metropolitan area.

  • I first thought this was in Britain because guardian and was very surprised. But then my brain realised that Mississippi is in the USA, and everything made sense again. Not that big surprising news if you ask me.
