Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey announced June 27 that all five deputies involved in the Jan. 24 episode had been fired or resigned.
JACKSON, Miss. — 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. and using stun guns and other objects to abuse them over a roughly 90-minute period, court documents show.
Court documents said the officers took on the Goon Squad nickname “because of their willingness to use excessive force and not to report it.” Federal marshals took the former officers into custody Thursday, and the judge said the men will be sentenced in mid-November. Before the raid, the officers agreed to enter without a warrant if they could avoid being spotted by the home’s security cameras. They also planned to use excessive force ahead of time — but not in the face, agreeing to “no bad mugshots,” the documents say.
