Q&A WITH TREV ALBERTS
Six former Mississippi law officers who tortured two Black men will plead guilty to state-level charges for the racist assault. The episode ended with one officer shooting one of the victims in the mouth. The ex-officers admitted their guilt in a connected federal civil rights case last week. Prosecutors say the corrupt officers, all of whom are white, nicknamed themselves the “Goon Squad” because of their tendency to use excessive force and cover it up. The state charges include home invasion, obstruction of justice, conspiracy to hinder prosecution and aggravated assault. The charges come after an investigation by The Associated Press linked some of the officers to at least four violent encounters with Black men since 2019
