MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Two Memphis jail deputies have been charged with second-degree murder in the death of a Black man who was having a psychotic episode and died in custody last fall after jailers punched, kicked and kneeled on his back during a confrontation, according to court documents released Thursday.
The indictments show that Stevon Jones and Courtney Parham have also been charged with aggravated assault while acting in concert with others in the death of 33-year-old Gershun Freeman. Jones faces an additional count of assault.
Meanwhile, seven other deputies have been charged with aggravated assault resulting in the death of another. Those officers include: Jeffrey Gibson, Anthony Howell, Damian Cooper, Ebonee Davis, Lareko Donwel Elliot and Chelsey Duckett. One officer’s name was redacted.

Im guessing most of the guards involved are black since they show no pics of them

Therein lies the problem. Our jails have become a replacement for mental hospitals. Shutting down the institutions was a very bad idea.

We need more accountability and less qualified immunity

I laugh at how we thought body cams would make cops smarter and more careful when they actually got dumber and more reckless.

Did you miss the part where the deputies were criminally charged?

They specify the race of the victim but not the accused...media is cancer.

Black inmate is beaten to death by a gang of black cops/guards who would have likely never have been hired 20 years ago when police work was still considered an honorable profession, but now they just take what they can get.
And yet again, it’s racism. All whitey’s fault. Even though no whiteys were involved.
This is where we are. Nice work.

Yep. Sounds like it's a LE issue & not a race one.

Not at all.
I think it is goid and we need more of this.
We need more accountability and less immunity for cops doing bad things
I am surprised so many disagree with accountability or maybe it is just the police they don't want to be held accountable

No that’s only if the cops are white. Black lives don’t matter when the killers are black.
