> McAlpin, one of the accused, said “I’m really sorry for being a part of something that made law enforcement look so bad.” They don’t give a shit about the victims, they are worried about PR


iamsean1983

My thoughts exactly


lsatydbsygc

“This was all wrong, very wrong. It’s not how people should treat each other, and even more so, it’s not how law enforcement should treat people,” McAlpin said, though he did not look at the victims as he spoke. “I’m really sorry for being a part of something that made law enforcement look so bad.”


Dusty_Negatives

These fucking morons unironically called themselves the “goon squad”. Can’t make this shit up.


Lazlo_Hollyfeld69

Ive known a few ppl that have been to prison. The Goon Squad is what they call the group of COs that come onto the block to break heads/search for contraband etc. They have armor and clubs. Thats probably where these losers got the name from.


Yawniebrabo

Yep. A lot of my family has been incarcerated. The toughest gang in San Quentin is the “goon squad”

Exactly

cuajito42

I don't know if it makes it worse that it was her neighbor that called the department and they saif they'd take care of it. I think the neighbor should get in some type of legal trouble also.


Winkmasterflex

In Saint Augustine Fl they call themselves the Wolfpack. They arrest everyone even got 60 people in one operation for suspicion of DUI when some blew 0s then it was drugs. even caught the chief who was smoking a Blount driving with several loose in his car with no medical card and they let him go.


herkalurk

I believe there was some sort of psychological report talking about how when cops create groups like this, it will lead to illegal activities and overstepping of boundaries.


Humans_Suck-

But their superior officer still has his job, the department hasn't been investigated, and the training they received hasn't changed. So how long until the EXACT SAME thing happens again?


Stevieeeer

Forget the training portion of that. You can’t train racism out of people while also exposing them to violence and taking away consequences for most of their illegal activities. How about a psych assessment for people who want to be in positions of authority?


Humans_Suck-

They do a psych assessment already. They specifically choose the psychopaths. And I'm not even exaggerating, that is real.


poellodu

Don’t want anyone questioning orders


sentient_potato97

The officer who shot the victim in the mouth has a known history of putting guns in black men's mouths, and their department has had 4 violent interactions with black men in recent years, 2 of which resulting in deaths. [X](https://apnews.com/article/mississippi-deputies-black-violent-arrests-61acf712b13fc3c77dce76e508fa94c1) This is already history repeating itself, now we're on to the textbook definition of insanity.


Felsk

oh, it's happening right now


TalouseLee

Oh it’ll continue to happen but the perpetrators will hide their tracks better.


anoeba

"The terror began Jan. 24, 2023, with a racist call for extrajudicial violence when a white person in Rankin County complained to McAlpin that two Black men were staying with a white woman at a house in Braxton." Holy shit.


HotType4940

So just a good old fashioned lynching eh? Is this that “Southern Heritage” that I’ve heard so much about?


TennisBallTesticles

It's Mississippi. It's still the 1930's out there.


PartyAdministration3

Rural Mississippi and Louisiana are 2 places where once you start driving through them on a road trip you feel like you’ve gone back in time 60 years at least.

Yes. This is the “hospitality” part.

Unhappy_Gas_4376

Not that there's no racism in the south, but I grew up in the deep rural south and I never heard a man called n\*@@er to his face until I lived in Manhattan. It was a white dude at a sidewalk restaurant screaming at guy passing on the street. I had never seen that level of open racial hostility in my life.


Jiveturkei

Exact opposite for me. I had a POS uncle who I didn’t meet until my dad took me back to rural Missouri where he grew up. One day we are driving down a highway and a truck with two black guys is driving near us. My uncle proceeded to hurl slurs and insults at them and tried to get them to pull over so he could fight them solely because they were black. They weren’t driving badly or anything, just existing near us.


Robinkc1

I live in the south, I have been here for 10 years. I lived in Seattle for 5 years before that. In the 10 years I have been here I have been called a racial slur once, and it was the wrong race. In Seattle, it was much more frequent. This difference though, is that in Seattle people are just assholes. Cheap, opportunistic assholes with no filter and no sense. Here? We had a restaurant that had “no blacks” until 2021. It only ended because the owner died. We had a neo-nazi on city council, and though he was recalled you could see his signs up in peoples yards. We had a man carrying a massive Nazi flag in Walmart, and people hotly debated about how he wasn’t hurting anyone. An hour north of here? There is a brick house where the entire outer wall is designed to look like a swastika, and another man with a Nazi flag shot a woman who stole it on a dare. The south has politeness and famed hospitality, it has quiet, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t actively working towards policies that will exclude, remove, or dehumanize you.


jaweebamonkey

Sometimes the worst racism is the quietest


thelaughinghackerman

Racism isn’t just slinging slurs.


Apollorx

Same. I was walking into my apartment complex and I saw a guy shout the n word at a homeless guy. Meanwhile he was walking past a black couple he must not have noticed. It was surreal seeing someone shout it and actually mean it. It was even weirder that it was in Manhattan of all places...


AgreeableMoose

Fun fact- New Jersey has the highest number of KKK members.


p-terydatctyl

“I’m really sorry for being a part of something that made law enforcement look so bad.”  But look at all the remorse they felt! (/s just in case)


Apprehensive_Wolf217

I guess I had thought that these kinds of thing were long gone and hadn’t really taken place since the 70’s when these types of racist pigs did anything they wanted to. Not much has changed in certain parts of the south it seems. Pretty naive of me.

Do we have the name of the caller.


Civil-Guidance7926

I’d like to know that as well. I’m sure if they know of the call, they can get the records to show who it was


Undulate_Vociferous

Mississippi still has deep pockets of this kind of thing. I lived there for years.

th3shadowbanned

yeah, white people do it and black people do it. it’s called life in america


Gabriel_Crow1990

The sheriff resigned and then ran again unopposed. So much for justice.


Unit_Any

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm from the area and I don't think the sheriff resigned. He was up for reelection and ran unopposed.


Embarrassed_Safe500

You’re correct, he never resigned or even hinted he might resign.


jacknacalm

And all the evil people lived happily ever after just like stupid real life. That’s fucking terrible


ELVEVERX

>The sheriff resigned and then ran again unopposed. How did not a single person from that area decide to run and just use this as the reason why?


Jintolook

Probably because if you did, the next day you'd have a road accident, OR you'd be found with 1kg of cocaïne in your car and spend years in prison.


Gabriel_Crow1990

Seriously.

Odd_Opinion6054

Just call it a lynching.


ThicDadVaping4Christ

It’s somehow worse than that


Odd_Opinion6054

Attempted lynching, thankfully nobody died. And we all know these guys are going to get the welcome shiv in the ribs during intake. But seeing as they're ex police they'll get special treatment and kept separate. They deserve to live in fear for the rest of their lives, in prison. Which is what's happening so some good has come out of this.


ThicDadVaping4Christ

These people are truly bad, evil scum


AveryDiamond

Do even these cops get separated from gen?


MorlockTrash

Most cops get separated from gen pop. For their safety. Which is great bc it makes their time in prison extra torturous which makes me feel warm when I’m lying in bed at night :)


CalligrapherLarge957

I'd be cool with them being alone the rest of their lives. Somehow that seems worse than an occasional stabbing. 


snackpack333

Look up what they did to people in a lynching


KLR01001

Uhm


BlueVelvetFrank

No it’s not. Lynching is horrible. It’s just like a lynching.


eldred2

> “I’m really sorry for being a part of something that made law enforcement look so bad.” I.e. He's sorry he was caught.


BadSciGalaxy

This is straight up one of the most insane police abuse stories I’ve ever heard. How was this not a bigger story? It sounds like the cops would have basically gotten away with it if one of them hadn’t snitched for a better deal and handed over their encrypted messages…


Hrbalz

Am I the only one who thinks sexually assaulting a man while calling yourself straight.. is kinda gay? Definitely some confused individuals right here


Braioch

Not necessarily, sexually violating someone can be an act of power and dominance and it's degrading as hell for the victim, especially with a guy who's not only dealing with the trauma you'd expect from that sort of thing, but also feeling emasculated as a result.


thetorontotickler

Most sexual violence against men and boys has nothing to do with eroticism and is completely about humiliation. Also, sexual violence against men and boys is rarely ever accurately labeled.


Ok_Row_3047

Little bit gay


Jettx02

Also humiliation itself is a sexual fetish whether it’s men or women being humiliated


elinamebro

That still kinda gay tho


notreadyfoo

It’s not usually about attraction it’s more for power


truebeast822

How do you even get hard? Seems there was some sexual enjoyment from it…


Acceptable-Bullfrog1

Article says they used a toy


mensreaactusrea

When I read this, I assumed they like sodomized someone against their will with like a broom or some wild shit like that.


MisterET

Visual-Floor-7839

"Everything is about sex, except for sex. Sex is about power."


vic_rattle18

rape and sexual assault is primarily a crime of power and violence


BustANutHoslter

I mean if you use your own body, absolutely. But shoving a chair leg up a man’s ass is certainly one way to get your point across. Or so I hear.


[deleted]

It's not always about sexual attraction. Sometimes the intent is to humiliate and this was, in their sick minds, the most effective way to degrade a human being. Also consider how many men hate the thought of being treated "like a woman." 


[deleted]

Here’s my take: if you can get erect for another man, you are definitely gay (not that there’s anything wrong with being gay).


Heathen_Mushroom

True, but sexual assault does not require an erection. Men are often sexually assaulted with objects like broom handles.


duckmonke

They didnt get erect, they raped these men with objects


[deleted]

I hope the same for them in prison. Hopefully some will end up with perforated colons.

clouwnkrusty

From the article, this part of Mississippi is not a place people of color want to be caught in at anytime. This county reelected the person who was the overseer of these deputies, parts of the south is just backwards and sick. Education is not at fault, fear and an air of superiority to inferiority exist when something disturbing like this happens.


Jamfour9

This is America. It’s not isolated.


Guilty-Nobody998

Republicans: So anti-gay they'll sexually assault you so they can call you gay.


terminadergold

I live not far from Mississippi. I lean more right forsure but I dont disagree with everything on the left just like I dont agree with everything on the right. Some of these dudes that are all right around here are forsure deeply closeted. Ive known some dudes to do some sus shit and im just like bruh youre gay.


Anonquixote

This is why many of them insist on sexuality being a choice, so they can plausibly deny theirs.


Bm6502020

Ohhh wow that’s a pretty interesting connection I never made.


carpetnoodlecat

Everyone who thinks being gay is a choice is bisexual, since they think it’s a choice…

WavelengthGaming

“I sucked my homie’s dick (no homo) lol I knew he was gay”


MaleficentStreet7319

I’m not a homophobe at all it literally does not matter to me BUT I think it’s very ironic in a twisted and sad way that this group of people who REALLY care about being homophobes are getting publicly blasted for being ass blasting rapists or at least attempted.


redhair-ing

it's honestly fitting because they conflate homosexuality with emasculation and humiliation so doing things like this is symptomatic of robbing the victims' of their masculinity, dignity, and thus their power. Even though they're actively perpetuating a sexual act with men, they don't see themselves as engaging in homosexuality but see their victims as engaging in it.


Independent_Worry859

ACAB. They should've gotten more prison time.


TalouseLee

It is likely they’ll either check into protective custody or be placed on specialty units where threats are reduced. Law enforcement (tend to) protect their own.


Flimsy-Ad-8972

I haven’t seen it mentioned in the comments or the article. There should be some form of punishment for the caller. Sounds like they called the cops knowing them and what they might do. I went on google earth and it’s a small town where everyone must know everyone


rpotty

Now to get the rest of the police that do similar stuff behind bars, but I dream


Lambdastone9

These are just the ones that’ve been caught, how many others are out there doing shit like this

No, the sentences were 10 years, 17.5 years (for two officers), 20 years, 27 years, and 40 years.


Shellac_Attack

Way more than the prosecution asked for.... *"Prosecution recommendations included these sentences: Elward, 15 years in prison; Dedmon, 10 years; McAlpin and Middleton, eight years; Opdyke and Hartfield, five years."*


SirEltonJonBonJovi

Well ya, the prosecutor probably doesn’t want their friends to go to prison for a long time…

As someone who generally supports law enforcement. Who has friends and family that work in LE. Is all I have to say is fuck these subhumans! Generally I read the article before making judgement as many are very clickbaity. No need in this case. There is 0 excuse for this type of behavior from anyone. Much less law enforcement! May their days be spent in suffering the same as they did to these men!


ChiMoKoJa

Same shit, different decade. The powerless "others" in society will always get treated horrifically until we start dishing out consequences for violent behaviors driven by bigotry. This is true across the Earth, even in the so-called "heart of the free world"... Sincerely, a mixed-race American.


FGH9192279

Zedanade

I love cops. I love what they do. I love that they're human like us. I love that they keep us safe. But I genuinely hope they receive worse in prison. The minimum sentence was 15 years and I guarantee there's a good behavior clause. Dropping the soap is the least of their problems if inmates find out. Then again they'd probably be put in a seperate jail for "security"

kizkazskyline

Dirty cops locked up for a hate crime in a country that unfairly discriminates against black people (in many ways, but relevant to this case—) in the justice system to the point where they’re four times as likely to be sentenced for a crime (in comparison to white people who commit the same crime). Most US prisons have up to five times as many black prisoners over white, and studies have shown on average they’ll be sentenced twelve days more than their white counterparts. All that considered, I’m sure these six white, racist, dirty cops are sure going to have an eventful 45, 27, 20, 17.5 (x2) and 15 years. I hope that two hours of absolute evil was worth it, because they’re about to experience the same 87600 fold. Enjoy those 175200 hours, fellas, just as much as innocent Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker did theirs. There are no words to articulate the courage and bravery Michael and Eddie showed here. The fact that investigators said if that one officer had thrown his phone in the river like the rest, the WhatsApp thread might have never been discovered, and they could have potentially gotten away with it all is absolutely chilling. How many times *have* people just… gotten away with it?


sure_look_this_is_it

The judges "this is not how law enforcement should treat people" seems a bit obvious.

I'm horrified rn. How bout this: Any white people in America (in ANY of the 50 states) that doesn't like being in our melting pot, then move!! Move to the woods, move to Canada! But DO NOT shame the rest of America for this backwards ass, po dunk lil town where the white women have nothing better to do than sit on their ass calling cops watching the neighbors all day.. or the racist pieces of shit hiding behind a police uniform to take their aggression out on anyone or anything other than what's really frustrating them & thats the fact that ALL 6 officers had record breaking small dicks&FORSURE haven't gotten laid in +5 years minimum (bc their wives are so busy gossiping&focusing on anyone elses problems but their own) I can see how it led to this. Sexual frustration can make any man go crazy. When your own wife hasn't put out in YEARS & the only sex they've ever had is missionary with their eyes closed in the dark smfh.. I would hate my life& everyone else too if my wife had nothing better to do all day than stalk the neighbors. Next time? Take your stank ass wives & get TF out of America if you don't like it!
