Legislative Black Caucus wants Rankin County deputies indicted
SUMMARY: Black legislators in Mississippi are calling for the indictment of former Rankin County deputies involved in the alleged torture and assault of Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker. The Mississippi Legislative Black Caucus has sent a letter to Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch requesting the indictment of the deputies and an off-duty Richland police officer. Rep. Christopher Bell criticized Fitch's silence on the issue and emphasized the need for justice for victims of law enforcement misconduct. The deputies were fired, and the officer resigned. The case has prompted a Justice Department civil rights probe and a federal lawsuit seeking $400 million in damages.

SUMMARY: A fraternity at Ole Miss removed a student for making racial gestures during a campus protest. Videos and photos showed protesters chanting “Free, free Palestine” and carrying Palestinian flags. A Black woman protesting the war was confronted by white hecklers, with one making monkey gestures. The fraternity released a statement condemning the actions and stating that the responsible individual was removed from membership. The incident drew criticism, including from a congressman who praised the heckling of the war protesters. Campus police and the dean of students were shown standing between the anti-war protesters and the hecklers in a video shot by a student journalist.

SUMMARY: Cinco de Mayo is a day to celebrate Mexican heritage and culture, but law enforcement reminds people to drink responsibly to avoid alcohol poisoning. The day commemorates the Mexican army's victory over France in 1862, but in the US, it is often celebrated with Mexican food and drinks. Clay County Sheriff Eddie Scott emphasizes the importance of knowing one's limitations when drinking, especially during events like Cinco de Mayo. He urges people to have a designated driver, watch out for friends, or call a cab to prevent accidents and DUIs. Alcohol poisoning is a real danger, and Scott's officers are actively monitoring the roads for excessive drinking.
