Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker were abused in a case of extrajudicial violence that even the sheriff they're suing called the worst case of police brutality he had ever seen. But Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey's attorney argues Jenkins and Parker's $400 million lawsuit against Bailey should be dismissed because the sheriff is entitled to “qualified immunity,” a legal concept that often shields police officers from civil penalties for alleged abuses. Court records show that attorney Jase Dare asked to dismiss the lawsuit on Oct. 6, just one day after a settlement conference was filed with the court. A settlement conference is scheduled when the parties in a lawsuit try to settle a case before trial. On Friday, Jenkins and Parker's attorneys, Malik Shabazz and Trent Walker, called Dare's motion “meritless.”“We believe that the totality of the evidence shows the brutality of the ‘Goon Squad’ was a longstanding problem. The brutality was not just limited to these five deputies, and it’s something that has existed during the entirety of Bryan Bailey’s tenure as sheriff," Walker said. In January, five white former Rankin County deputies and a police officer from a nearby department burst into a house without a warrant after someone phoned one of the deputies and complained that two Black men were staying with a white woman.The officers handcuffed and assaulted Jenkins and Parker with stun guns, a sex toy and other objects. The officers also used racial slurs over a 90-minute period that ended with former deputy Hunter Elward shooting Jenkins in the mouth during a “mock execution.” Then, the officers devised a cover-up that included planting drugs and a gun, leading to false charges that stood against the victims for months. Prosecutors say some of the officers nicknamed themselves the “Goon Squad” because of their willingness to use excessive force and cover up attacks.In March, an Associated Press investigation linked some of the deputies to at least four violent encounters with Black men since 2019 that left two dead and another with lasting injuries. One of those men was Pierre Woods, who was shot and killed by Rankin County deputies in 2019. A family member sued Bailey over Woods' death. Court records show a settlement agreement for an undisclosed amount has been reached through the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' mediation program. The settlement still must be approved by a chancery court. At least two of the deputies who shot at Woods, Elward and Brett McAlpin, went on to participate in the illegal raid in January. For months, Bailey said little about the episode. After the officers pleaded guilty to civil rights charges in August, Bailey promised to change the department. In his motion, Dare said Jenkins and Parker do not allege that Bailey personally participated in the events but failed to train the deputies adequately. He said internal department policies show the deputies underwent training that complies with the law. He also said none of the allegations are enough to overcome qualified immunity and hold Bailey liable for the illegal actions of his deputies. The law enforcement officers include former deputies McAlpin, Elward, Christian Dedmon, Jeffrey Middleton and Daniel Opdyke, and a former Richland police Officer Joshua Hartfield, who was off-duty during the assault. They agreed to sentences recommended by prosecutors ranging from five to 30 years, although the judge isn’t bound by that. They are scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 14. ___Michael Goldberg is a corps member for the Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

二 | 在上一场比赛负于梅州客家队后,深圳队遭遇四轮不胜,全队上下背负着极大压力。主帅李章洙在昨天的赛前新闻发布会上直言:我担心近期的战绩会影响队伍的自信。深圳队本赛季高开低走,很大一部分原因是被动减员的影响。亚历山德里尼因肋骨断裂缺席了此前两轮比赛,队内最佳射手阿奇姆彭也因私事提前离开赛区。目前深圳队阵中,仅剩下林采民一名中卫外援,这就需要本土球员在进攻端担起更大的责任。

三 | 沧州雄狮队的处境更为艰难。一方面,该队近来已遭遇七轮不胜,急需一场胜利提振士气。另一方面,在中卫苏祖接受手术治疗后,主帅萨布里奇也只有奥斯卡一名外援可用,且队内本土球员的账面实力要略逊于深圳队。

四 | 面对诸多不利因素,萨布里奇已提前做好苦战准备:“对方有很多国字号背景的球员,比赛经验也要比我们丰富。这场比赛会非常艰难,但我们会积极准备,力争拿出最佳表现。” 昨晚在海口赛区进行的一场中超联赛第九轮比赛,山东泰山队以2比1战胜长春亚泰队,迎来三连胜。另一场比赛,浙江队凭借穆谢奎的进球和对手送出的乌龙大礼,以2比0战胜大连人队。
