"Former Mississippi law enforcement officers plead guilty to torturing Black men"

Six former law enforcement officers in Mississippi have pleaded guilty to charges related to the torture of two Black men. The officers, who referred to themselves as "The Goon Squad," face charges including conspiracy against rights, deprivation of rights under color of law, and obstruction of justice. The incident occurred in January when the officers entered the victims' home and subjected them to hours of torture, including shooting one of the men in the mouth. The charges were brought after the victims filed a federal civil lawsuit.
