Off-duty officer was with deputies accused of abusing Black men, police chief says
SUMMARY: An off-duty police officer has been revealed to have participated in a raid where two Black men were allegedly beaten, sexually assaulted, and shot by deputies in Mississippi. The announcement comes after the firing or resignation of all five deputy sheriffs involved in the incident. The men claim that deputies burst into their home without a warrant and subjected them to 90 minutes of abuse. The allegations sparked an ongoing civil rights probe by the Justice Department. An AP investigation has linked the deputies involved with the incident to previous violent encounters with Black individuals since 2019. The victims have filed a federal civil rights lawsuit seeking $400 million in damages.

SUMMARY: Mississippi's economy is thriving with many job openings, but not enough people to fill them. Occupations in high demand include registered nurses, fast food workers, retail sales, general managers, first-line supervisors, and physicians. The state has a low unemployment rate, with jobs available in various sectors including healthcare, manufacturing, education, retail, transportation, and public administration. The mass exodus of Baby Boomers, early retirements, and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic have contributed to the mismatch between job openings and applicants. Experts note a shortage of workers in the hospitality industry and believe that many who left the job market are now returning.

SUMMARY: The Columbus Police Department is cracking down on crime with Operation T-B.O.N.E, targeting neighborhoods to reduce violence. The recent arrest of two brothers for possession of stolen firearms and drugs prompted the involvement of their mother in the investigation. Chief Joseph Daughtry emphasized the importance of community involvement, urging people to provide tips and information to help combat crime. The CPD is increasing patrols in high-crime areas and making more traffic stops, aiming to make it uncomfortable for criminals. The slogan “Tippin' ain't snitchin'” underscores the importance of reporting criminal activity without fear of retaliation.
