A judge sentenced another former Mississippi deputy from a self-described 'Goon Squad' to federal prison on Thursday for the torture and abuse of two Black men in a racist attack. Brett Morris McAlpin, 53, was ordered to serve 327 months, which is more than 27 years. McAlpin is one of six former Rank County Sheriff's deputies who admitted to subjecting two Black men, Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker, to acts of racist torture.
' The 'Goon Squad' consisted of McAlpin, Christian Dedmon, 29, Jeffrey Middleton, 46, Hunter Elward, 31, Daniel Opdyke, 28, and Joshua Hartfield, 32. The group then went to the home without a warrant, the Associated Press reported, and assaulted the two Black men with stun guns, forced them to ingest liquids, punched and kicked them, and called them racial slurs. The Justice Department said the two men were also assaulted with a dildo.
