Six Former Law Enforcement Officers Plead Guilty to Federal Civil Rights Charges in Connection with Violent Assault on Two Black Men

Six former law enforcement officers in Mississippi have pleaded guilty to federal civil rights charges in connection with a violent assault on two Black men. The officers, who called themselves the “Goon Squad”, entered the men’s home without a warrant and used a stun gun, handcuffed them, and assaulted them with a sex object before one of the officers fired a gun in one of the men’s mouths, causing serious injuries. The Associated Press conducted an investigation which revealed that the officers had discussed a false cover story and had planted and tampered with evidence. The six officers have pleaded guilty, but the victims have yet to receive justice.
