In March of 2023, a self styled “Goon Squad” of Rankin County officers kicked in the door of a Braxton, Mississippi home and tortured Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker for nearly an hour and a half. They beat and tased them, used racial slurs, sexually assaulted them and shot Michael in the mouth.
This was not a rogue unit acting in a vacuum. For years, families in Rankin County and across Mississippi have reported raids, beatings and humiliation at the hands of law enforcement with little to no accountability. The “Goon Squad” case simply forced the country to look at what Black residents have been saying all along.
This post is not about shock value. It is a reminder that this level of violence is still possible whenever police operate without real oversight, transparency or consequences. If this could happen to Michael and Eddie just a little over three years ago, it can happen again.
We need to stay informed and amplify their stories, and always demand structural change. Not just prison time for a few officers, but a policing system that will no longer do this to our kids and our community.
