The scene can only be described as an echo of the KKK, lynching, and other racial violence. Two black men were brutally tortured by six cops simply because they were staying with a white woman. The crooks are behind bars, but now it’s time for some restitution.
How do you mean?
I made several statements, which one is your question about?
Restitution
There is a lawsuit against the city in the works. The article briefly mentions it. That should provide restitution. I don’t expect restitution from the cops, given that they will likely have few assets to go after.
Ah yeah, it’s painfull how long that sort of thing ends up taking
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sentencing has concluded for the six white former officers in Mississippi who pleaded guilty to breaking into a home without a warrant and torturing two Black men.
“No bad mugshots,” Dedmon texted — a green light, according to prosecutors, to use excessive force on parts of the body that wouldn’t appear in a booking photo.
They forced them to strip naked and shower together to conceal the mess, and Hartfield guarded the bathroom door to make sure the men didn’t escape.
The majority-white Rankin County is just east of Jackson, home to one of the highest percentages of Black residents of any major U.S. city.
The officers shouted at Jenkins and Parker to “stay out of Rankin County and go back to Jackson or ‘their side’ of the Pearl River,” court documents say.
Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey, who took office in 2012, revealed no details about his deputies’ actions when he announced they had been fired last June.
The original article contains 724 words, the summary contains 159 words. Saved 78%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
