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.
