Six white former law enforcement officers in Mississippi who called themselves the “Goon Squad” pleaded guilty Thursday to a racist assault on two Black men in a home raid that ended with an officer shooting one man in the mouth.
The officers entered the 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 do ents show. After one victim was shot and wounded in a “mock execution” that went awry, the do ents say the officers conspired to plant and tamper with evidence instead of providing medical aid.
