Mississippi 'goon squad' officers are part of larger law enforcement problem, experts say

Tragic article.

Are they really "rogue" when they are created, tolerated, defended, and covered up by their PDs? 1312.

Mississippi ex-deputy gets 20-year sentence in racist torture of 2 Black men
https://www.yahoo.com/news/6-former-mis ... 44273.html

Deplorable Sheriff Bailey,

There's nothing "rogue" about it when the "Goon Squad" was created, tolerated, defended, and covered up by you and your equally detestable "leadership" team. All were just doing what the Boss Man (you) said. You have brought incalculable shame upon your department, Rankin County and LEOs everywhere.

You should have resigned long ago, just as decent, accountable and honorable leaders have done throughout history. Do you have any of these attributes? Do it now and take your entire vile team with you. If not, I wish upon you exactly what happened to Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker. For the record, this is a hope, NOT a threat. I know what crybabies some cops are.

Also, your online complaint form is USELESS, another example of your FAILED tenure. It's unwieldy, time-consuming, overly complex and nitpicky. I went through it once, but it timed out due to all the quirks. Fortunately, I had saved all my text and sped through a second time only to get this message:

"I'm sorry, but there was an error detected in your response.
"We are sorry, but your submission failed our content check. Please adjust the contents of your submission to use more precise language. If you continue to have an issue, please contact us at 877-634-3468, option 2."

"content check" = Some real 1984 BS.

Ironically, the note is imprecise as to exactly what content needs adjustment, which just makes RCSD look stupid.

I'm using this snail mail, but no doubt countless others gave up out of frustration. Oh wait, that's the point with a Sheriff as irresponsible as you are, isn't it? Gotta keep those complaint numbers artificially low, right?

Disdainfully yours,
(Vrede too)

I like how you mention their online complaint form is useless. But I'm sure it cuts way down on the number of complaints. And I generally sign off in my letters with "Intestinally yours." I'll probably wait until the last one is sentenced before stomping.

Poor Sheriff Bailey,

Don't get the motion that this letter is some form of sympathy directed toward you. That's not what you are in dire need of. My letter is more of what I would call a stomping for the certainly stompable, which is you.

I've been following how five of your deputies were sentenced this week to a combined total of around a century behind bars. I don't know how many deputies you have there (I was not able to get that from your website) but if you have fifty (which I doubt) that means that ten percent of them will now likely die in prison.

Are you reasonably sure that you don't have a few more half bright assholes like this bunch lurking around your department? How the hell do you know? You sure missed this pile of shit. And it's not like these dipshits suddenly started doing this extralegal activity overnight. It's apparentlly been going on for a couple of years at least. What the fuck is wrong with you? Stupid? Complicit? Apathetic? I just find it hard to believe nobody within the department knew of or reported this vile bunch of white trash morons before now. My former wife's sister was once married to a Sullivan County TN deputy sheriff. He was probably the laziest worthless roly poly bastard I ever came across. So to have five of them in your little organization is quite impressive.

What have you got planned for your next trick? A deputy or two discovered to be engaging in sex with a high school student in his patrol car on campus? That's an oldie but goodie. Or maybe a deputy or two assaulting an elderly or handicapped person just for the hell of it? It boggles the mind to consider what kind of godawful bullshit you and your guys may come up with next. But I do notice you don't have any job openings for deputies on your website or if you do I can't find them. I urge you not to hire any brothers or other relatives of those five vile goons. But you do you and we'll see what happens. Meanwhile, I hope a meteor screams from the skies and blasts your headquarters into splinters. And keep an eye on the rest of the half literate redneck fools you still have roaming around down there. ok


Suspiciously yours,

Lawsuit Planned After Deputy Spooked by Falling Acorn Fires Gun at Suspect

(body cam video and news report)

A lawsuit is now being filed after a man says he was wrongfully shot at. Video released shows a deputy screaming “shots fired,” then takes out his gun and fires it multiple times at the patrol car. The man inside the car, in police custody, was not hurt, deputies say. What prompted the deputy to fire his weapon was not a gunshot but a falling acorn, investigators with the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office say. Inside Edition Digital has more.

Thanks. I noticed a spelling error in my post...I was typing all that from the written letter, which has no spelling errors. Hell, those fuckers probably woudn't notice anyway. I think this is the first sheriff I've written to since that Lee guy down where Trayvon Martin got killed. I remember writing old sheriff Davis either before after he went over the high side. With any luck, that crazy bastard is either dead or harmlessly helpless. I just hate it when high sheriffs engage in or allow this kind of shit.

I saw his picture on the sheriff website. Appears to be a typical young southern redneck. Wiki says Rankin County has a little over 157k people and is 71% white.

As I noted, he's a pretty young guy. I predict he'll be involved in something that will send his ass to jail before he retires. I wonder if he'll give me a call. I gave my address and phone number in my letter. If I do get a call from a MS area code I plan to answer the phone by saying "homicide." Or maybe "Sheriff Bailey ass kicking headquarters."

Your (sort of) hood is a mess:

Deputy sheriff in Southern California arrested on weapons, gang charges

A 45-year-old deputy sheriff with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department has been arrested and charged with numerous felony counts, including weapons violations and being a member of a criminal gang, authorities announced on Thursday.

The investigation into Deputy Sheriff Christopher Bingham, a resident of Twentynine Palms, and his association with an outlaw motorcycle gang began in January 2024, according to a SBSD news release.

When the 45-year-old was spotted on March 23 riding his motorcycle alongside two other gang members, authorities, with assistance from the California Highway Patrol, conducted a traffic stop on the trio.

“During a search of Bingham’s person, a loaded, unregistered firearm was located,” officials said. “Bingham was arrested and booked at the Smith Correctional Facility in Banning.”

Detectives with SBSD’s Gang and Narcotics Division then executed a search warrant at the deputy’s residence, where 160 firearms, including a fully automatic assault rifle with attached grenade launcher, were discovered.

Authorities also found silencers, a stolen SBSD shotgun, other “destructive devices” and gang paraphernalia.

After the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office filed charges of possession of a machine gun, a short-barreled rifle, a stolen firearm, silencers and grand theft, along with participation in a criminal street gang, a warrant for the deputy’s arrest was issued.

Bingham was taken into custody on April 4 at around 1 p.m. He was booked at the West Valley Detention Center. His bail was set at $500,000.

The arrest comes on the heels of several other high-profile incidents within the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.

On April 2, deputies shot and killed a 17-year-old boy armed with a knife who was having a mental health crisis. Less than a month before that incident, on March 9, deputies shot and killed a 15-year-old boy with autism, whose family is now suing the department.

In late March, cellphone video captured a deputy brutally beating and kneeing a suspect in the face as several other deputies held the man down.

Earlier this week, newly released video of a September 2022 shootout between deputies and Anthony Graziano, who had abducted his teen daughter, appears to show deputies fatally firing on the 15-year-old girl as she was attempting to surrender and escape her father....

“The actions of this deputy are alarming and inexcusable; he not only tarnishes his badge but also undermines the integrity and credibility of the entire department,” Dicus said....

As if there's any left. 1312
