Six white former law enforcement officers in Mississippi have pleaded guilty to federal civil rights offenses against two Black men who were brutalized during a home raid that ended when an officer shot one of the men in the mouth.
“This is the most horrible incident of police brutality I’ve learned of over my whole career, and I’m ashamed it happened at this department,” Bailey said.
Liar. There's no way you have six deputies—forming a "Goon Squad"—and not have some idea of their depravity. Bailey is probably ashamed it went this far and got exposed. He probably thinks it'd be better if the deputies just had a bit of chill when brutalizing uppity Black people on the wrong side of the river. He's ashamed of their sloppiness.
And he'll probably win re-election by 87% again...
