THE GOON SQUAD

Six former Mississippi police officers, some of whom reportedly called themselves the “Goon Squad,” pleaded guilty this month in a racist attack on Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker, two Black men who endured hours of torture from the officers in January.

Authorities said the former Rankin County and Richland Police Department officers, all of whom are white, broke into the men’s home without a warrant, after a neighbor complained about the men staying at the home of a white woman, whom Parker knew and was taking care of.

While using racial slurs, the officers placed Jenkins and Parker under arrest and tased, shot at and sexually abused them for more than two hours, authorities said.

Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey said at a news conference on Aug. 3 that the police badge was “tarnished by the criminal acts of these few individuals.”

But experts say rogue groups like the Goon Squad are not an anomaly in the U.S.
