2.) Six officers known as the ‘Goon Squad’ plead guilty to torturing two Black men, using a sex toy on them and shooting one of them

August 3, 2023

Six law enforcement officers who called themselves the “Goon Squad” pleaded guilty Thursday to federal charges they tortured two Black men, hurled racial slurs and used a sex toy on them before shooting one of them in the mouth.
The charges against five Rankin County Sheriff’s Department deputies and a Richland police officer followed a months-long Justice Department investigation, which found credible evidence of the attack on Michael Jenkins, 32, and Eddie Terrell Parker, 35. 
On Jan. 24, during an early-morning raid, the officers broke down the door of Parker’s home in Braxton, Mississippi, without a warrant. They restrained the two men before beating, tasing and threatening them with rape. The officers shot multiple rounds into the air, threatening to kill the men, before a deputy placed his gun in Jenkins’ mouth and fired. The bullet lacerated Jenkins’ tongue, shattered his jaw and shredded his neck, nearly killing him and causing permanent injuries, according to Jenkins’ lawyers.

“To them, he wasn’t even human,” said Jenkins’ mother, Mary.
The men’s attorney, Trent Walker, said his clients “feel they’re getting justice. They feel vindicated.” At the time the allegations emerged, “there were a lot of naysayers,” he said. “This proves there is justice in Mississippi, even in Rankin County with its long history of police violence.”
At Thursday’s hearing, handcuffed officers stood with their lawyers in a semicircle before U.S. District Judge Tom S. Lee, who read from a 13-count criminal information. Five deputies pleaded guilty to federal charges: Brett Morris McAlpin, 52, who served as chief investigator; Jeffrey Arwood Middleton, 45, who worked as a lieutenant; Christian Lee Dedmon, 28, who worked as a narcotics investigator; and Hunter Thomas Elward, 31, and Daniel Ready Opdyke, 27, who worked as patrol deputies. Joshua Allen Hartfield, 31, who worked as a narcotics investigator with the Richland Police Department, also pleaded guilty.

According to the criminal information filed Thursday, the white deputies handcuffed Jenkins and Parker before beating them and calling them “n—–,” “monkey” and “boy,” telling them to stay out of Rankin County and “go back to Jackson or to ‘their side’ of the Pearl River.” While deputies taunted the two men, Dedmon “repeatedly drive-stunned Jenkins with his taser,” according to the information.

When deputies discovered a dildo in the home, Opdyke forced it into the mouth of Parker and attempted to force it into the mouth of Jenkins, according to the information. Dedmon then threatened to anally rape the two men, but when he moved toward Jenkins’ backside, the deputy stopped when he noticed that Jenkins had defecated on himself, according to the information.

While Elward held the two men down, Dedmon poured milk, alcohol and chocolate syrup on their faces and into their mouths, and Dedmon poured cooking grease on Parker’s head, according to the information. Elward threw eggs at the men.

Officers then ordered the two men “to strip naked and shower off to wash away evidence of abuse,” according to the information. Hartfield guarded the door to make sure they didn’t escape.

Opdyke struck Parker with a wooden kitchen implement, Middleton assaulted Parker with a metal sword, and Dedmon and McAlpin smacked Parker with pieces of wood, according to the criminal information. Dedmon, Middleton, Hartfield and Elward all tased Jenkins and Parker repeatedly.

McAlpin and Middleton stole rubber bar mats, and McAlpin was “about to steal a Class A military uniform” when he heard two gunshots, according to the document.

The first gunshot was discharged by Dedmon, who fired into the yard. After removing a bullet from the chamber of his gun, Elward stuck a gun into Jenkins’ mouth and pulled the trigger. The gun clicked. Then he racked the slide, only this time, the gun fired a bullet, which lacerated his tongue, broke his jaw and exited through his neck.

The officers pleaded guilty to depriving the two men of their rights by neglecting Jenkins’ need for medical care, according to the information.

“[They] attempted to cover up their misconduct rather than provide [Jenkins] with medical care.”

The officers also pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice. They attempted to cover up the shooting by planting a gun in the home and accused Jenkins of attempting to shoot at officer Elward, according to court records. They also planted methamphetamine on Jenkins and charged him with drug possession, disorderly conduct and assaulting an officer.

Parker was falsely charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and disorderly conduct.

The charges against the two have been dismissed. The officers then stole the hard drive from a surveillance camera system in Parker’s home and threw it in a river.

Dedmon and Elward pleaded guilty to discharging a gun in the commission of a violent crime. That carries a 10-year minimum and up to a life sentence, consecutive to any other prison time.

The other charges against the officers range between 10 and 20 years for each count.

“Based on the facts in their guilty pleas, all former deputies lied to me the night of the incident,” Sheriff Brian Bailey said in a statement.

“This incident and the crimes of these individuals has been devastating not only to the victims but also to the sheriff’s office and the hundreds of men and women that work here.”

FACTS :

Slave patrols called patrollers, patterrollers, pattyrollers or paddy rollers[citation needed], by the slaves, were organized groups of white men who monitored and enforced discipline upon black slaves in the antebellum U.S. southern states.

The slave patrols' function was to police slaves, especially runaways and defiant slaves. They also formed river patrols to prevent escape by boat. Slave patrols were first established in South Carolina in 1704, and the idea spread throughout the colonies.

EX-COPS INSIDE PRISON :

Their cases command headlines during trial, but afterward, convicted law officers pass into the uneasy obscurity of a jail cell. ‘You’re subhuman when you’re in this place,’ said one former deputy. ‘You used to be a cop, but you’re not anymore.’

Convict cops.

They live in a topsy-turvy world where a one-time hunter may quickly become the hunted.

Their cases command headlines during trial, but afterward, convicted former law enforcement officers pass into the uneasy obscurity of jail or prison. They and correctional officials are left to worry about, and protect against, vengeful inmates.

2.) Protecting Ex-Officers From Becoming Targets While Serving Prison Time

A former warden says being a former police officer with a high-profile case puts them at risk behind bars.

In the past two years several law enforcement officers have been thrust into the national spotlight for their on-duty actions.  

A few of those, like Kim Potter and Derek Chauvin, have been convicted of violent felonies.  
Cameron Lindsay is a former warden. He served as warden for 12 years at five facilities. 
"From my perspective, putting an individual like that in general population, is an invitation for disaster," he said. "Derek Chauvin, you could argue, is America's most hated person."

Lindsay says for these officers who are convicted, just being a former cop plus the high-profile nature of many of their cases puts them at risk behind bars. 
"In a high security environment, there are inmates that will be waiting at the door, so to speak, that will want to investigate and will assuredly find out the background to some degree on every inmate that comes in that door," Lindsay continued. "As a general rule, law enforcement officers will have a very difficult time adjusting."

Jason Van Dyke, the former Chicago police officer who murdered Laquan McDonald in 2014 and has now been released, was reportedly attacked while in a Connecticut prison.  

Afterward, Van Dyke was moved to solitary confinement and restricted to his cell for 23 hours of everyday. He was shuttled between a number of facilities and, according to The Chicago Tribune, was part of a program that keeps high-profile inmates like former police officers off prison databases accessible to the public. 

Now, it's important to mention, it is rare for police officers to be criminally charged for violent actions while on-duty.  

According to Bowling Green State University, law enforcement officers on average fatally shoot between 900 and 1,100 people per year but since 2005, just 165 officers have been arrested on charges of murder or manslaughter in on-duty killings.  

Less than a third of those charged have been convicted.
