In Mississippi, six former police officers, who called themselves the “Goon Squad,” have pleaded guilty to state charges after they raided a home and tortured two Black men. On January 24, the officers burst into a home and then beat, handcuffed, waterboarded and tasered the two men, Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker. The officers also sexually abused them with a sex toy while shouting racial slurs. One of the officers put a gun in Jenkins’s mouth for a “mock execution” and pulled the trigger. The bullet lacerated Jenkins’s tongue, broke his jaw and exited through his neck. The officers then planted drugs at the scene in an attempt to cover up their act. The officers have also pleaded guilty to federal charges. Click here to see our recent interview with the victims, Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker. Some of the officers face life in prison.
