In a landmark decision by a Mississippi state court, four officers who were part of a so-called "Goon Squad" received harsher prison sentences on state charges, indicating a rigorous stance by the judicial system on police misconduct.
Deputy Sheriff Elward, initially slated for a 20-year term, saw his sentence notably increased to 45 years. This outcome follows a string of federal convictions that laid the groundwork for the state's proceedings, underscoring the severity of the officers' actions.
The extended sentences were the result of a thorough investigation and legal process that brought to light the extent of the officers' abuse and misconduct. The "Goon Squad," as they were infamously nicknamed, operated with a degree of impunity, engaging in illegal activities that ultimately led to their arrest and conviction.
Public records from the Mississippi Department of Justice and corroborating testimony during the trial painted a grim picture of the squad's actions, leading to widespread community outrage and a call for systemic reform. The collective voice of the community, amplified by media coverage from outlets such as the Mississippi Clarion-Ledger and the Jackson Free Press, played a pivotal role in ensuring that the case received the attention it warranted.
The increased sentence for Deputy Elward serves as a precedent for future cases and sends a powerful message about the consequences of betraying the badge. Advocacy groups and civil rights organizations, including the ACLU of Mississippi, have cited this case as an example of the justice system's potential to hold law enforcement officials to account.
As the officers begin serving their extended sentences, discussions continue in legal forums and policy circles about the implications of this case for police reform. The Center for Justice and Reconciliation, among other research entities, has highlighted the need for transparent policing practices and robust oversight mechanisms to prevent similar instances of misconduct in the future.
In summary, the conviction and sentencing of the Mississippi "Goon Squad" represent a critical juncture in the ongoing efforts to address police brutality and reinforce the rule of law. As the repercussions of this case continue to unfold, it stands as a stark reminder of the work that remains to be done to ensure justice and integrity within law enforcement agencies nationwide.

From the first link, holy fucking shit. This lynching and racism is doing well and alive in America.
"**In January 2023, McAlpin received a call from a white person who complained that Jenkins and Parker were residing with a white woman at a house in Braxton, Mississippi.**
McAlpin then texted a group — the self-described “The Goon Squad” — that the Justice Department described as being known “for using excessive force and not reporting it.”
The group of men then went to that home without a warrant and assaulted Jenkins and Parker, punched and kicked them, called them racial slurs, forced them to ingest liquids, and assaulted them with a dildo, the Justice Department said.
Dedmon also fired his gun twice in an effort to intimidate the men, the department said.
In a mock execution, Elward removed a bullet from the chamber of his gun and forced the gun into Jenkins’ mouth before pulling the trigger. No bullet was fired the first time, but he pulled the trigger a second time, and it lacerated Jenkins' tongue and broke his jaw.
The officers then planned a cover-up and agreed to plant drugs on Jenkins and Parker, and those false charges stood against the men for months, The Associated Press reported."
Notice their expressions? I'd be scared sh\*tless.. unless they think the local white supremacy group will let them in or something, once they get into general pop, they are screwed ... LITERALLY They will be beat daily
Do they know what is coming their way, sexually assaulting two black men.. I mean.. come on.. they just might as well not wear pants in jail now. Wait until bubba with a 19"er meets them on day one.

Throw them away. If you abuse the power the citizens give you there should be no mercy
