A federal judge on Thursday finished handing down prison terms of about 10 to 40 years to six white former Mississippi law enforcement officers who pleaded guilty to breaking into a home without a warrant and torturing two Black men in an hourslong attack that included beatings, repeated uses of stun guns and assaults with a sex toy before one of the victims was shot in the mouth.
U.S. District Judge Tom Lee called the culprits' actions “egregious and despicable" and gave sentences near the top of federal guidelines to five of the six men who attacked Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker in January 2023.
The case drew condemnation from top law enforcement officials in the country, including Attorney General Merrick Garland. In its grisly details, local residents saw echoes of Mississippi’s history of racist atrocities by people in authority. The difference this time is that those who abused their power paid a steep price for their crimes, the victims' attorneys said.

Does this set the standard for the jailers of the J6 protesters?
if they make it 1/2 way, it’ll be against the odds...
Are they freakin’ nuts? A white woman was staying with 2 black men so they decided to do this? What freakin’ year are they living in? Gee thanks a lot a-holes, this is just what cops around the nation need, unreal.
The Left just loves this stuff.
In a nation of 350 million, they’ll find some white racism somewhere for their narrative
Suppose a non police officer broke into a person’s home, shocked them with a stun gun, assaulted them with a sex toy, and put a gun in their mouth and shot them, would that civilian only get 10-40 years?
The article capitalizes black but not white. Stopped reading.
How did they get a trial so quickly?
They plead guilty to the state charges and went to federal trial and sentencing before the state could sentence.
Do you think these guys would prefer to be in a federal prison of a Mississippi state prison?
The feds should tell the state send them their way when they are done with the state prison term.
Let the people of Mississippi pay for their room and board for the next 25 years.
Ok
Compare your outrage to everyday whites are raped and murdered and robbed by blacks with hatred of whites consuming them
It’s epidemic actually whereas this is rare
Plus you’re running with legacy media sourcing
Same indignation?
Or are we expected to behave better
Doesn’t seem to work even when we do
USPs are as bad as it gets these days
The old school ones like Atlanta or Terre Haute are now admin
They have dozens of new ones
Gang infested
Hazelton and Beaumont and Big Sandy
Make old Folsom and Corcoran look soft
I think shooting the one guy in the mouth guaranteed serious no parole time
87% of 40 years is a level 42 I think per guidelines
Most they can give besides life or RUD
some may get relief via appeal on the sentencing
I’ve almost been killed by two black jailers and nothing happened to them except I was removed from their custody thankfully
A tiny black lady corporal saved me
It was pure racial and they made no attempt to hide it
33 years ago
The jailers were later arrested and convicted for armed occupied home invasion
Miami
Dade county stockade
Sweet place lol
People only care since it’s white acting up
Including some posters here
I’ve seen same arguments here 24 years
Not impressed by such logic admittedly
Nailer knows my war stories in person fwiw
These errant jailers gonna need PC
Did the shooting victim survive? Where is the murder charge?
gearing up for a floyd 2.0
black men get probation for murder, these guys get decades.
More American justice.
