Today, the GOON SQUAD, a white supremacist group within the Mississippi police, is being sentenced for torturing a man. I question why black criminality gets more attention here than the criminal elements in law enforcement. Shoutout to Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker for standing up against this attack.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Six former Mississippi police officers, who called themselves the "goon squad," are being sentenced for torturing two Black men after responding to a neighbor's complaint. The officers assaulted the men with stun guns and sex toys, poured liquid on them, forced them to shower together, and one shot a victim in the mouth in a mock execution. They also attempted to plant evidence.
The officers are being prosecuted under deprivation of rights, under the color of law. While the maximum sentence could be the death penalty, life in prison is more likely. The victim's ongoing physical injuries will factor into sentencing. Other incidents involving the "goon squad" are under investigation. The county sheriff's office also faces a $400 million civil lawsuit alleging systemic issues like lack of supervision and poor training. The civil case will likely explore what the sheriff's department hierarchy knew about the officers' behavior.

Speaker 0: So I said this is a tragic story. So we and it's it's graphic. We have a warning for viewers that the next story is graphic. Sentencing begins today for six white former Mississippi police officers who tortured two black men last year. They apparently responded to a call from a neighbor who complained that two men were living with a white woman.
The officers who called themselves the goon squad assaulted the men with stun guns, sex toys, and poured liquid on them. They then forced them to shower together. One of the offers officers then shot one of the victims in a in the mouth in a mock execution and attempted to plant evidence in an attempt to cover up the crimes. So joining us now for more on this is Steve Barrick. He is a former prosecutor and a partner at Barrick and Associates.
Thanks a lot for joining us. You were not involved in this case. We should sort of clarify. But you're here to talk about it. The details are out.
The men are awaiting sentencing, and the details are just they're grizzly. What is expected? What's the expected sentence for this type of crime, particularly because, you know, we're talking about this crime committed by officers?
Speaker 1: Right. So the statute they're being prosecuted under is, deprivation of rights, under the color of law. The the maximum sentence actually could be as significant as the death penalty, which I wouldn't expect in this case. I think what they're realistically looking at is life in prison for these horrific crimes. So it's a very broad statute with very significant penalties.
And so I think their sentence is gonna be very significant.
Speaker 2: So one of the victims is still suffering from the physical injuries they sustained in the attack. What role will that play in sentencing?
Speaker 1: So these are all factors, Ladd, under the federal sentencing guidelines, injuries, long lasting injuries, significance of injuries. Those all play a role. So I I think that this judge I I mean, these crimes in modern America are this is shocking, shocking conduct. So I expect them to get a a very lengthy sentence for what happened that day. And, you know, there's this is not the only time this goon squad.
I mean, I there are other incidents that law enforcement is looking into with these guys. So it's look. There's a lot going on here.
Speaker 0: It so it's not just that. It's not just a criminal case. The county sheriff's office is now facing a $400,000,000 civil lawsuit as a result of the attack. How could this play out in court?
Speaker 1: The civil case?
Speaker 0: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think what you're looking at here is they're the the civil attorney is going to have to prove that there was this systemic issue within the sheriff's office regarding lack of supervision, poor training, poor decision making in terms of hiring these folks. And I think you're going to find out that other people knew what was going on. I mean, when you're dealing with this kind of behavior, these individuals have a tendency to brag about it. And I think it's gonna be very interesting to see how this civil case plays out over the next several months as it relates to what the hierarchy of the sheriff's department knew about what was going
