一 | JACKSON, Miss. -- The Mississippi sheriff who leads the department where former deputies pleaded guilty to a long list of state and federal charges for the torture of two Black men has asked a federal court to dismiss a civil lawsuit against him. Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker were abused in a case of extrajudicial violence that even the sheriff they're suing called the worst case of police brutality he had ever seen. But Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey's attorney argues Jenkins and Parker's $400 million lawsuit against Bailey should be dismissed because the sheriff is entitled to “qualified immunity,” a legal concept that often shields police officers from civil penalties for alleged abuses. Court records show that attorney Jase Dare asked to dismiss the lawsuit on Oct. 6, just one day after a settlement conference was filed with the court. A settlement conference is scheduled when the parties in a lawsuit try to settle a case before trial. On Friday, Jenkins and Parker's attorneys, Malik Shabazz and Trent Walker, called Dare's motion “meritless.”“We believe that the totality of the evidence shows the brutality of the ‘Goon Squad’ was a longstanding problem. The brutality was not just limited to these five deputies, and it’s something that has existed during the entirety of Bryan Bailey’s tenure as sheriff," Walker said. In January, five white former Rankin County deputies and a police officer from a nearby department burst into a house without a warrant after someone phoned one of the deputies and complained that two Black men were staying with a white woman.The officers handcuffed and assaulted Jenkins and Parker with stun guns, a sex toy and other objects. The officers also used racial slurs over a 90-minute period that ended with former deputy Hunter Elward shooting Jenkins in the mouth during a “mock execution.” Then, the officers devised a cover-up that included planting drugs and a gun, leading to false charges that stood against the victims for months. Prosecutors say some of the officers nicknamed themselves the “Goon Squad” because of their willingness to use excessive force and cover up attacks.In March, an Associated Press investigation linked some of the deputies to at least four violent encounters with Black men since 2019 that left two dead and another with lasting injuries. One of those men was Pierre Woods, who was shot and killed by Rankin County deputies in 2019. A family member sued Bailey over Woods' death. Court records show a settlement agreement for an undisclosed amount has been reached through the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' mediation program. The settlement still must be approved by a chancery court. At least two of the deputies who shot at Woods, Elward and Brett McAlpin, went on to participate in the illegal raid in January. For months, Bailey said little about the episode. After the officers pleaded guilty to civil rights charges in August, Bailey promised to change the department. In his motion, Dare said Jenkins and Parker do not allege that Bailey personally participated in the events but failed to train the deputies adequately. He said internal department policies show the deputies underwent training that complies with the law. He also said none of the allegations are enough to overcome qualified immunity and hold Bailey liable for the illegal actions of his deputies. The law enforcement officers include former deputies McAlpin, Elward, Christian Dedmon, Jeffrey Middleton and Daniel Opdyke, and a former Richland police Officer Joshua Hartfield, who was off-duty during the assault. They agreed to sentences recommended by prosecutors ranging from five to 30 years, although the judge isn’t bound by that. They are scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 14. ___Michael Goldberg is a corps member for the Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

直播吧4月21日讯 《足球》报撰文谈到本赛季首次征战中甲的陕西联合，文章认为，俱乐部的经营和整体表现都存有亮点。
二 |
对于2025赛季，陕西联合的比赛规划主要包含中甲和足协杯，其中中甲是主攻方向，但并不意味着会放弃足协杯。
三 | 事实上从某种程度上讲，足协杯在实战练兵和振奋士气方面还起着重要作用。本轮足协杯对阵深圳二零二八，陕西联合的压力是有的，因为此战之前遭遇联赛两连败，而胜利是回报球迷、夯实信心的最有效法宝，才能实现自我救赎。
四 |
最终，陕西联合4-0击败深圳二零二八顺利晋级。
五 | 根据赛程，足协杯第三轮，陕西联合将坐镇主场迎战中超球队武汉三镇，这对于西北狼来说才是真正的挑战。总体而言，足协杯给了陕西队更多球员实战练兵的机会，主教练乔瓦尼坦言：“我们阵容不齐，但上场球员都全力以赴，他们展现出拼搏精神。其实联赛才是全队的首要任务，两天后就要迎来下场比赛，我们将重新调整，及时恢复状态，保持这种压迫性踢法！”
在主战场中甲联赛，陕西联合打了4场，分别是客场平苏州东吴、主场胜定南赣联、客场不敌佛山南狮和重庆铜梁龙。单从结果来看，西北狼的主客场是存在明显反差的，不过这种反差对中甲新军来说也在可接受范围之内。
中甲战罢4轮，陕西联合1胜1平2负积4分排在第11位，虽然说处于联赛中下游，但西北狼对于完成保级目标还是充满自信。俱乐部高层就直言：“从前4轮来看，队员们还是保持着高昂的斗志，大家都很团结，联赛才刚刚开始，我们只是打了一个主场，有渭南赛区、诸多赞助商的大力支持，还有这么好的球迷，我们一定会全力以赴完成保级任务！”
陕西联合的自信是有根基的，除了球迷、赛区支持以及球队内部团结稳定外，还有就是俱乐部新赛季整体运营情况良好，阿克苏月亮泊景区成为2025赛季球队冠名合作伙伴，这也反映出西北狼的号召力和俱乐部营销策略的成功。不仅仅是冠名，俱乐部主动作为，合作方涵盖各行各业，真正做到了众人拾柴火焰高。
在主场球票发售上，市场反响很好，陕西联合新赛季主场即便仍然放到渭南，但每到周末，省内各地开车、乘坐高铁到渭南看球的球迷仍然是络绎不绝，甚至还出现一票难求的盛况。球迷热情解囊，一定程度上也缓解了俱乐部的经营压力。此外，西北狼实力也完全超出保级层面，比如外援表现有目共睹，前锋达尔法卢打进两球，赖纳有一球进账。种种迹象预示，陕西联合保级应无悬念。
