Mississippi sheriff aims to avoid liability from federal lawsuit over torture of Black men_我的网站

A |     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.

B |     最近，新币兑人民币汇率一路狂飙！从这个月月初开始，汇率就一直在狂飙的路上停不下来，现在已经稳定在了1:5.4+以上！即将到来的周五新加坡金管局将按照惯例发布最新一期货币政策以确定新币方向。

C | 《路透社》日前采访了十名经济分析师当中，其中有九人认为，金管局可能连续第五次维持货币政策不变，让新币继续升值。即只要人民币没有像新币那样随行就市，未来一段时期新币对人民币汇率就极有可能进一步稳定甚至走高！要说新币兑人民币汇率的疯狂上涨已历时近两年。

D | 2022年8月，汇率还在1比5以下，之后总体就一直维持在涨势不减。中间还甚至探到过1:5.45的，十几年来的新高点！汇率偏高促使旅居新加坡的中国人对转账回国产生强烈需求。01 汇款到中国，一年27亿！最近，全球知名的电子支付公司Visa发布了一项统计数据，揭示了超过一半（51%）的新加坡居民在2023财年期间，向外国汇款的数量已经超过了1500新币！这项一共在全球20个国家或地区的4万多名国际汇款收款和付款人进行，在新加坡长期生活的参与者达到2500人。

E | 而在汇款目的地上，中国以18%毫无争议地获得了第一，其次是澳大利亚（13%）、马来西亚（11%）、日本（9%）和菲律宾（8%）。

F | 不只是汇到中国数量很多，而且汇款总额也颇为惊人。

G | 从新加坡汇至中国内地款额一年可达20亿美元（约27亿新币），而从新加坡汇到马来西亚的款额一年也不过9亿美元而已。这一切都显示了新加坡和中国内地之间庞大的汇款业务需求。

H | 据新加坡国家统计局统计，到2021年6月份，新加坡人口约545.36万人。在这200万人当中，大约有20%是中国人，这意味着大约40万人在新加坡有长时间的工作和生活经历。趁着高点汇款回国给家人，是很多人的常见做法。

I | 但你一定想不到，这个数字究竟有多夸张......之前，笔友在新加坡街头采访时，就遇到了一名来新加坡工作了6年，家人还在中国的保洁大叔：他表示，他每月都能存下大约1300新币，并随后会把这些钱转给中国的亲属。02 新加坡汇款回国仍需谨慎这份调查还显示，在统计时间内，最受欢迎的汇款方式，是直接通过新加坡的星展银行DBS，向国内的银行账户点对点汇款。而曾经在新加坡大热的，走第三方汇款中心的模式，已经几乎销声匿迹了。或许这是因为在去年，新加坡接连被爆出中国人通过这个渠道汇款回国，结果却被警方冻结的消息。今年年初，新加坡警方通报，截止2月20日，他们一共接到了超过840起汇款至中国后当地银行户头遭冻结的报案，涉款总额约1600万新币！所以新加坡金管局去年12月份还颁布了禁止第三方代理汇款的规定，只有当地汇款公司才可以通过银行或者银联卡这样的指定渠道向用户汇款。这项禁令在今年3月又延长了一次，直到9月30日。不过，虽然通过银行转账汇款，是几乎不可能出问题的选项，但在新加坡生活的不少客工，还是宁愿走汇款中心。本地媒体报道，其中的不少人都已经听说过汇款有风险的可能，但他们继续选择汇款中心，也是没有办法的事情。①看不懂英文，无法在本地银行APP操作一些受访人群说，他们早前尝试过通过本地银行APP向国内转账。但是，因为他们看不懂英文，导致自己无法操作，又担心胡乱操作会导致更严重的后果，所以为了省事和安心，就还是来汇款中心汇钱了。②我只有星期天才有空也有人表示没有手机银行APP就到银行柜台也行不通。

J | 一些人因为工作的原因，只有周末（一般是周日）才有空。而新加坡各大银行，往往周日都不营业了......③不太担心钱会被冻结来牛车水汇款中心的另有一部分人，则是因为过去没有遇到过汇款被冻结的情况，因此对汇款中心信心十足。但也有部分人士认为，为降低风险，目前要把大笔资金分成几次汇回国内，宁可付些手续费也可以。笔友，你现在会不会去汇款中心汇款回国？03 新加坡工作，要在国内交税吗？在新加坡工作赚新币，交税少，回国花，真的很爽。但是，最近，有个小伙伴向椰子提出了一个问题：中国公民拿工作准证在新加坡工作在新加坡交完税后，还需要在中国交税吗？首先要指出，假如是取新加坡国民新移民的话，当然只须在新加坡纳税。剩下仍持中国护照但持新加坡长期居留身份者是否仍需按本国税率返国交税，并观察其是否属新加坡或中国税收居民。按照中国的正式定义，那些在中国有或没有住宅，但在一个纳税的自然年度内居住时间超过183天的人，都将被视为中国的税务居民。不管是中国人还是外国人，都适用这条标准。外国人满足条件也需要向中国交税。

K | 而根据新加坡的官方定义，新加坡税收居民包括：1）新加坡公民及永久居民2）一个日历年内在新加坡居住/工作超过183天，或连续三年的外国人3）在新加坡连续工作超过2个日历年且总逗留时间至少为183天的外国人。这适用于新加坡公司的外国雇员，但不包括公司董事、公共演艺人员或专业人士。总结来说，如果你在过去的一年里主要在新加坡工作，而不是在中国和新加坡之间往返，那么你只需向新加坡缴纳税款即可。说起来，早在2007年，新加坡和中国两国就签署了避免双重征税的协定，所以大家无需太担心。

L | 然而在实际运作时，由于许多人的状况，并不能借由条文来判断。这都是需要双方都缴税吗？1）在中国有房产，但平时在新加坡工作生活，这种情况下要向中国交税吗？答：本案中判断纳税人永久居住于哪一个国家更为重要。长期租房还算是永久性居住。如果每天的工作生活在新加坡，那就只要从新加坡纳税。2）我在新加坡工作，但在中国有做一些小本生意和投资，这时候要向中国交税吗？答：在中国有获得收入，就必须需要按照中国的征税标准缴交。3）我是新加坡人，但平时我在中新两国跑，在中国会待200多天，在新加坡也有点小收入，会被双重征税吗？答：被双重征税是不存在的（详见上文）。在这种情况下，新加坡的收入可能需要优先被新加坡征税，扣掉这部分剩下的余额再按照中国税率缴交。举个例子，比如一名网友小A在新加坡的收入为4万新币，扣掉按照当前税率，他需要缴交200新币（首3万新征税额度）+350新币（余下的1万新征税额度）=550新币（约2975人民币）。然后总数在中国被征税后得到应付的税款，会扣掉这2975元人民币。4）只是偶尔去新加坡，获得的收入也要被新加坡征税？答：看情况。非新加坡公民个人如在一历年内在新加坡工作时间未超过60天者，其受雇所得免纳所得税。不过这一部分在中国将被征用...整体来说难逃一劫哈~无论如何偷税漏税是违法的行为，违者将处以罚款，并有可能被判有罪！所以，要是不清楚情况的话，特别是不清楚在新加坡要不要交税，可以拨电新加坡税务局热线：1800 356 8300 进行询问哦~。
