Mississippi ex-law enforcement charged with civil rights offenses against 2 Black men during raid
SUMMARY: Six former law enforcement officers in Mississippi, all of whom are white, have been charged with federal civil rights offenses for the brutalization of two Black men during a home raid. The charges were unsealed on Thursday as the officers appeared in federal court. The men, Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker, filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Rankin County seeking $400 million in damages. They claim that the officers burst into their home without a warrant, subjected them to brutality, and one officer shot Jenkins in the mouth. The Justice Department launched a civil rights probe into the allegations in February.

Starkville businesses see less customers during summer breaks
SUMMARY: Mississippi State's spring semester has ended, with seniors graduating and many students moving home for the summer. This seasonal migration causes a dip in local businesses' foot traffic. Brikley Spencer from Maroon and Co. noted that they offer promotions to attract customers. Bart Wood of Little Dooey mentioned that while there's a slowdown, recent developments like Cornerstone Park tournaments and MSU camps keep Starkville active. Both businesses largely employ college students, but the summer schedule balances staffing needs. Despite past challenges, Wood says conditions have improved, and they adapt annually, considering even shortening hours during slower periods.
