Several sheriff’s deputies in Rankin County, Mississippi, have been fired after two Black men filed a lawsuit alleging torture and attempted sexual assault by officers. Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker say six deputies entered their home outside Jackson in January and handcuffed, kicked and waterboarded them; taunted them with racist slurs; attempted sexual assault; and repeatedly electrocuted them with Tasers. Jenkins says one deputy placed a gun into his mouth and pulled the trigger, lacerating his tongue and shattering his jaw. The men are seeking $400 million in damages from Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey and six deputies. The FBI, the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division have opened investigations.
