Mississippi justice. I feel sick.

A group of monsters, calling themselves the "goon squad", wearing badges, decided that black men had no business visiting a white woman. So...they broke into a house, tortured these two men, shooting one in the mouth(doing a horrible thing(besides the shooting part). They tried to cover it up, even arresting one of the victims.
These men were police officers. Their superiors and contemporaries knew what this goon squad was doing.
But we have no racial problems here...

How long ago was that?

It did not make the British press. And tells me a lot.

@SW-User the crime happened in January. They took this plea just recently.
I hadn't heard about it either. It is a small county of about 150 thousand. I think they yried to keep it quiet.
I believe it took journalists to dig into the history of this group of officers and bring it to the fore.

@Carla To be fair, the story has just broken in the British press.

Buy this is terrible. I thought naively this was long gone in America.

The British Police have a very poor record towards People of Colour, but not to this extent.
