A Hate crime in Mississippi and a bankrupt former President in NY

Six former Mississippi police officers, including some calling themselves "The Goon Squad," pleaded guilty Thursday to a racist assault on two Black men that ended with an officer shooting one man in the mouth.

The officers, who are all white, entered a house without a warrant on Jan. 24, assaulting the men with a sex toy and using stun guns and other objects to abuse them over a roughly 90-minute period, court documents show. After one victim was shot and wounded in a "mock execution" that went awry, documents say the officers conspired to plant and tamper with evidence instead of providing medical aid.

The two victimes lived to see two officers get convicted for 20 years and 17 years.  More convictions are yet to come.

Five former Rankin County Sheriff's Department employees pleaded guilty, including Christian Dedmon, Hunter Elward, Brett McAlpin, Jeffrey Middleton and Daniel Opdyke. Joshua Hartfield, a former Richland police officer who was off duty when he participated in the raid, also pleaded guilty.
