I’m kind of surprised “qualified immunity” didn’t protect them. Oh,looks like the victims were black. That explains everything.

I hope the jury was fair and not biased. Biased juries suck worse than perpetrators because we expect them to be wholesome, by law.

“Qualified” being the key word here. It’s not absolute. Qualified immunity doesn’t extend to what these guys did.

" 6 Mississippi 'Goon Squad' officers sentenced to 15 to 45 years on state charges for torture of 2 Black men"

Funny how they felt it was worth mentioning in the headline that the perps were black but left out that some of the Goon Squaddies also were black

I hate journalism today. Most news reports don’t tell the whole story. Then, you have to search and search for more details.

It turns out, three of the cops were sentenced for torturing and assaulting THREE men within a month’s time - the two black men in the house and a white man in a traffic stop.

The white victim stayed anonymous at first, but he stepped forward later. He also said they sexually assaulted him.

Here’s an older article with more details:

How did so many psychopaths end up in one police department?

It's their big day getting their pictures in all the newspapers and they can't even smile for the camera.
