JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Two men who were abused by five former Rankin County sheriff’s deputies back in early 2023 have settled their civil suit against Rankin County. On April 30, U.S. District Judge Daniel Jordan issued an order dismissing the suit brought by Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker, saying that the two had reached a settlement with Rankin County and the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department. Jason Dare, an attorney for the department, provided details about the $2.5 million settlement at a press conference Thursday afternoon. “The county will pay $500,000 for that resolution. The county’s insurance will pay its policy limits of $2 million for [the] resolution of that case,” he said. Dare told reporters outside the Rankin County Detention Center that the $500,000 would come out of the sheriff’s department’s budget. “The citizens of Rankin County are not going to be impacted by the settlement of this case,” he said. In a follow-up interview with WLBT, Dare said services will not be impacted, and that the $500,000 will likely come from different line items in the sheriff’s $24.2 million budget. He said the payment will likely be made in the next 14 to 30 days and will be in one lump sum. The Rankin County Board of Supervisors will likely have to approve a resolution authorizing the payment. It was not known when that resolution would be presented. Dare went on to say that the settlement is not an admission of guilt on the county’s or the sheriff’s department’s part. However, he did speak to the impact that the Goon Squad’s actions had on the victims, the sheriff’s department, and the county itself. “A lot of people were impacted by what happened in Braxton, Mississippi, on January 24, 2023, most notably, Mr. Jenkins, Mr. Parker, and their families, but also the Rankin County community, and the fine, upstanding law enforcement officers who are with the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department, who have weathered the storm that has ensued since that day,” he said. “To everybody, we hope this resolution brings some sense of finality... and peace.” Parker and Jenkins filed the suit in June 2023, months after they were abused at the hands of five former Rankin deputies and one former Richland Police officer on the night of January 24, 2023. The two were seeking $400 million in compensatory damages, punitive damages, interest, and other costs. Those former officers have since been sentenced on state and federal charges.

I spent the first hour celebrating Donald Trumps first 100 days in office as well as playing some clips from his most recent ABC News interview where he absolutely scorched the interviewer for being fake news.

Hour #2 featured an interview with Jim W. Armstrong (AKA Big Jim) as we celebrate his retirement from the state of Mississippi today after 30 years working in government. Big Jim has been involved in politics and all sorts of wild stuff for a long time, we discuss that and a bunch of upcoming charity events that he's involved with.

The entire 2nd hour of the show was a throwback to the very first episode of this show ever, I discussed the "7 things men secretly struggle with" the we all deal with but keep to ourselves.

1- the Dad Wound - aka Daddy issues

2- the lack of manhood vision - it is what you don't understand how to be the leader in the house, a good husband, not your kids friends, mental & physical toughness

3- Unprocessed trauma - passed up for promotion, bottled up a past break up, divorce, failure, etc., leads to thoughts of suicide

4- Addictive habits- porn, food, fitness, work, anything that take you away from your family

5- Not enough close friends (6 to be exact) that your family can call and know they'll be paul bearers at your funeral if you died tomorrow.

6- Do you have a friend you can p/u the phone and just trauma dump with?

7- Stop avoiding confrontations

I got up early this morning and drove the Tesla Cybertruck out to Martins Livingston location and tried one of their southern style fried chicken biscuits for breakfast, I review the chicken biscuit and tell y'all all about the Tesla Cybertruck I got the chance to keep overnight and drive to work this morning to give y'all an honest review.

We gave out a late night FAFO championship to a future rocket scientist, engineer and possibly even a NASA astronaut that doubles as a DOOR DASH delivery driver and steals orders from paralyzed retired Police officers who were shot in the line of duty.
