    The terminations come roughly two weeks after Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker filed a lawsuit alleging six deputies entered their Braxton home in January and handcuffed, kicked, waterboarded, repeatedly used Tasers on the men and attempted to sexually assault them. One deputy also put a gun in Jenkins’ mouth and shot him, the lawsuit says.

    Jenkins and Parker were handcuffed when the deputies, who had turned their body-worn cameras off, began punching and slapping them, according to the lawsuit. “Throughout the nearly two-hour ordeal, the six deputies would punch and beat two handcuffed men at will, hurting and humiliating both Jenkins and Parker. Deputies also repeatedly and gratuitously kicked the men as if they were animals while they lay subdued and handcuffed,” the lawsuit says.

    The lawsuit also alleges that multiple deputies attempted to use a sexual device against Jenkins and Parker, threw eggs at them and forced them to shower together.

    As the assault reached its peak, the lawsuit alleges, a deputy placed a gun in Jenkins’ mouth and shot him, lacerating his tongue and shattering his jaw. “Unfortunately, Jenkins has suffered permanent physical injuries, permanent cognitive damage, long-term psychological damage, permanent disfigurement, and impairment,” the suit says. Parker also sought medical attention for injuries suffered during the incident, according to the lawsuit.

    -----------------------------------------

    I'm speechless. The firing of deputies definitely gives this validity to this lawsuit, since it's not really that frequent, relatively speaking, that officers get fired.

    Nothing justifies putting your service weapon in a handcuffed persons mouth and squeezing a round off. Anytime the police get brought up, it's "Have you ever walked the hallways of a public school," or "Have you ever played basketball in the hood." It's never, "That's wrong" or "No excuse for that behavior."

    Sorry you missed your calling as a cop, you've got the mentality down. You seem more the type to let other people do the violence for you though.

    How can you say that? That's what humans do, from the dawn of creation to 1 second ago.

    It's our genetic code. The essence of being human - violence, exploitation, destruction.

    We are who we are.

    Did you just defend these abusive subhumans? Pathetic dude. Political ideology is one thing but to offer an excuse for that inhumanity is just... i dont have the words.

    Its not the default status of humanity. It's only what some humans do... and it comes with lots of conditioning.

    You saying this was justified or somehow evolutionary after being an urban cop for years? Wow.

    I would argue the exact opposite.

    A Lord of the Flies fan eh? I dont think so. If our default position was to be inherently evil we would not have evolved into sophisticated societies with evil as the outlier. Although I am not a philosopher.

    This is what its it's like in Mississippi, I guess. Here is a police chief dropping the N bomb while bragging about how many people he's shot.

    Lexington is 1 hour north of Rankin County.

    We 21st century humans seem to forget our glorious past.

    From the dawn of the Bronze Age to the present:

    City casts covetous gaze on neighbor, attacks, murders, plunders, rapes and burns.

    You cannot deny this. A pattern repeated over and over and over.

    The curse of tribalism.

    What do you think is happening in Ukraine, right now?

    If domination of the weak is just who we are, we might as well just become fascists. In truth, the idea of human nature is made up, human nature is whatever we say it is.

    Spears are now tanks. The gadgets of destruction are different sure, but that human nature remains unchanged.

    A species of wicked barbarity unparalleled on the planet and perhaps in the entire Milky Way Galaxy.
