White American police officers crossed all limits of brutality, confessed to inhuman torture from black people

The US Justice Department said on Thursday (August 3) that six white police officers in Mississippi admitted to torturing two innocent black men. These policemen tortured the black victims for an hour using toys, tasers, and swords. Finally, a policeman shot a man in the mouth who came out by ripping his neck.
Attorney General Merrick Garland said, "The police in this case tortured the victims and caused intolerable harm, a gross violation of the rights of the citizens that the police are supposed to protect. The oath the policemen take as law enforcement officers She has been shamefully cheated."
Five former members of Mississippi's Rankin County Sheriff's Department and one former member of the Richland Police Department were indicted on multiple charges, including civil rights conspiracy, deprivation of rights under the law, and obstruction of justice.
All six white police officers admitted that on January 24 of this year, while responding to suspicious activity, they kicked in the door of a home and began an unprovoked sustained assault on two black men there. He handcuffed and racially abused both victims and warned them to "stay out of Rankin County," the DOJ said.
A press release said, "Black men were punched and kicked by police officers, stabbed 17 times, forced to drink liquids, and tortured with dildos." The DOJ said he also attacked one victim multiple times with a sword and kitchen equipment.
Not only this, Deputy Hunter Elward put the weapon in a man's mouth before pulling the trigger of his gun. The DOJ said, "Elvord racked the slide with the intention to dry-fire a second time. When Elvord pulled the trigger, the shot went off. The bullet exited the neck, ripping through (the victim's) tongue, breaking his jaw." It has gone."
Alward, 31, Brett McAlpine, 52, Christian Dedmon, 28, Jeffrey Middleton, 46, Daniel Opdike, 27, and Joshua Hartfield, 31, pleaded guilty to all charges against them. Dedmon, Elward, and Opdike also pleaded guilty in December to three other felony charges related to another episode of cruelty against a white man. All six will be sentenced on November 14.
