Former Rankin County Sheriff’s Department deputy Hunter Elward faces the most serious of charges – discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence. Court documents name the other officers charged as Brett McAlpin, Jeffrey Middleton, Christian Dedmon, Daniel Opdyke and Joshua Hartfield.
The incident occurred on January 24 in Braxton, Mississippi, just southeast of Jackson. It came to light after two men, Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker, filed a federal civil lawsuit. Many of the claims in the lawsuit were reflected in the federal charging document.
The two men, who are Black, say six White law enforcement officers entered the home they were in and tortured them for nearly two hours, culminating with Jenkins being shot in the mouth.

Six Mississippi police officers admit torturing Black men
The brutal assault, and its subsequent cover-up in which the men left one victim bleeding as they hid evidence of their crimes, is the latest race-tinged stain on US policing.

Antioch and Pittsburg police officers arrested by FBI
SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — The hammer finally dropped on nine Bay Area law enforcement officers who were arrested by FBI agents Thursday morning in connection to an 18-month investigation. The FB…

A sweeping 18-month investigation began in early 2022 as a narrow probe into officers who allegedly cheated on college tests to obtain salary raises. FBI agents dug into the cheating scandal and opened a “Pandora’s box†of unethical, and potentially criminal, behavior among officers, a source told KRON4. Federal investigators narrowed in on officers who potentially committed civil rights violations.
When the FBI seized Antioch police officers’ professional and private cellphones, agents found chains of text messages exchanged between as many as 45 Antioch officers. The texts contained racial slurs and described violence officers inflicted against suspects, court records show. One officer, who played soccer professionally before joining APD, bragged about how hard he kicked a young Black man in the head, court records containing the text messages show.
The N-word and terms describing Black suspects as “gorillas,†“monkeys,†and circus animals were used in text messages written and received by officers. The texts also described now-retired Police Chief Steven Ford in racially derogatory terms and contained threatening language aimed at Mayor Thorpe. Ford and Thorpe are Black.

Police union leader said woman killed by Seattle officer ‘had limited value’
Daniel Auderer denies wrongdoing, claiming he ‘intended the comment as a mockery of lawyers’
www.theguardian.com
I had so little trust in law enforcement growing up. My dad was an attorney and watched cops lie on the stand. He knew they were lying and they knew he knew, but juries trusted the cop. He told me as a teenager to never trust them. Nothing has happened in my adult life to change that. I actually trust and respect them less and less. I’ve heard cops with my own ears joking about telling someone to stop resisting so they can get another hit in. It’s terrible.Police union leader said woman killed by Seattle officer ‘had limited value’

First, I'm not a criminal lawyer, not even a trial lawyer, but I've had over 60 years of practice to observe and I had one close attorney friend, now deceased who had a LEO brother. He told me that his brother told him that, once they'd decided who was guilty, they would do whatever it took on the stand to make sure he was convicted. That's all I'll say...
