On the evening of January 24, three sheriff’s deputies in Rankin County, Mississippi, received a group text message from another deputy on the same shift: “Are y’all available for a mission?”

    In the state case, each of the six former officers are charged with conspiracy to commit obstruction of justice, according to the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office. Dedmon is charged with home invasion and Elward is charged with home invasion and aggravated assault.

    The state case sounds very weak given the heinous acts they all committed. I hope the civil case does better.

    Very sad to see this for these black men. Not that shocking though.
