As the investigation involving two Black men allegedly assaulted by one officer and five deputies continues, national activists and Mississippi residents are calling for criminal charges to be brought against all parties allegedly involved.
July 5, 2023, 9:19 PMHg Biggs/APallegedly assaulted by one officer and five deputies continues, national activists and Mississippi residents held two press conferences Wednesday urging for criminal charges to be brought against all parties allegedly involved.
On Jan. 24, five Rankin County deputies and one Richland Police Department officer entered the residence of Jenkins and Parker without a warrant that resulted in both Black men being beaten, sexually assaulted with a sex toy and shocked with Tasers for roughly 90 minutes while handcuffed, according to the attorneys. According to the lawsuit, officers attempted to sexually assault the men with a sex toy before making them shower together.
The press conferences outside the Attorney General's office and the Rankin County Sheriff's Department came just days after Richland County Police Chief Nick McLendon "As a family member of Emmett Till, 68 years ago we still did not get justice for Emmett Till," Williams-Till said during the press conference. "Today I stand here as a spokesperson on behalf of these families, to say give them justice."Last week, Bailey announced that the four remaining Rankin County Sheriff's Department deputies allegedly involved in the incident were terminated, with one previously resigning before the announcement.
