Mississippi ‘Goon Squad’ ex-deputy gets 20-year sentence in racist torture of 2 Black men

sometimes i weep for us as human beings

A white person phoned Rankin County Deputy Brett McAlpin and complained that two Black men were staying with a white woman at a house in Braxton, Mississippi. McAlpin told Deputy Christian Dedmon, who texted a group of white deputies so willing to use excessive force they called themselves “The Goon Squad.”

they did not have a warrant
the torture is creepy
when it went bad, they covered it up with planted drugs and a gun

the two victims faced false charges for months
