6 Mississippi Officers sentenced for Torture

Six former Mississippi law enforcement officers were sentenced to decades in prison on Wednesday after pleading guilty to state charges related to the racially motivated torture, sexual assault and shooting of two Black men in January 2023 and their subsequent actions to cover up their crimes.
The group of officers, all white, includes five former Rankin County sheriff's deputies -- Christian Dedmon, Hunter Elward, Brett McAlpin, Jeffrey Middleton and Daniel Opdyke -- as well as former Richland police officer Joshua Hartfield. The sheriff's deputies had dubbed themselves the "Goon Squad" for their willingness to use excessive force, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
According to the office of Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Finch, the six former officers pleaded guilty in a Rankin County Circuit Court on Aug. 14, 2023, to aggravated assault, home invasion, obstruction of justice/hindering prosecution in the first degree and conspiracy to commit obstruction of justice.
McAlpin, Middleton and Opdyke were each sentenced Wednesday to 15 years, according to the Mississippi Attorney General's Office, while Elward and Dedmon were sentenced to 20 years and Hartfield to 10 years.
The judge did not follow the recommendation of prosecutors, giving each of the defendants longer sentences than what was recommended by the state, according to Jackson ABC affiliate WAPT.
In their guilty pleas, the six former officers admitted to breaking into a home where Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker were residing without a warrant after a white neighbor reported that the men were staying with a white woman and alleged "suspicious" activity. They then proceeded to arrest Jenkins and Parker "without probable cause" that they committed any crimes, according to the DOJ.
During the incident, the officers beat Jenkins and Parker, mocked them with racial slurs, sexually assaulted them with a sex toy, forced them to strip naked and shower together and shocked them with Tasers for roughly 90 minutes while handcuffed, according to court documents obtained by ABC News. Jenkins was also shot in the mouth by Elward, per the DOJ

First, the cops shouldn’t have tortured anybody, and if they did that they deserve jail time.
-However- I know not to trust our “news” and I’d like to know what the torturees were really doing. I suspect drug dealing.

As the OT goes I fall well on the Boot Licker / Back the Blue side of things but damn.
If ANY of those allegations are true these guys got off light. I mean damn. I don't know how you spin "making them shower together" that it isn't just plain fricked up. "Assaulted with a sex toy" could be bitch slapping someone with a dildo I guess. I don't want to think about the alternative. The home invasion and accidentally shooting him in the cheek (I would guess while shoving a gun in his mouth) sound like 20 to Life type crimes.

It’s all true. The Narcotics investigator supervisor threatened one of the younger guys if he ratted they would kill him and his wife. These guys were bad dudes. I don’t know how Brian Bailey, the Sheriff survives this ordeal.
