Six former Mississippi police officers, some of whom reportedly called themselves the 'Goon Squad,' pleaded guilty this month in a racist attack on Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker, two Black men who endured hours of torture from the officers in January.
Experts say rogue groups are becoming increasingly prevalent and are a threat to democracy. “I think it’s absolutely one of the biggest crises in American life,” Johnson said.
But groups like these can be hard to investigate and shut down. “If you think about a tight-knit group of people, a tight-knit group of officers, who have sworn to cover each other’s back no matter what, then it’s almost [an] impossible nut to crack until somebody decides that they want to listen to the community that’s complaining,” David Thomas, a former police officer and professor of forensic studies at Florida Gulf Coast University, told Yahoo News.
48% of Americans trusted the police, a 5-point drop that occurred in the wake of the murder of George Floyd.taken after Nichols's death found that only 39% of Americans are"very" or"somewhat" confident that police are"adequately trained to use excessive force."

Suicide Squad (2016) | ScreenRantThe Suicide Squad team is made up of villains, captured and kept in a secret prison, and offered reduced sentences if they participate in dangerous missions. In the tradition of continuity within DCEU films, the event comes in the wake of Superman's death and the seclusion of Batman after the events that occurred in Batman V Superman. Agency head Amanda Waller, played by award-winning actress Viola Davis, is the one striking deals with the inmates of Belle Reve Prison. Heading “Task Force X” is Joel Kinnaman’s Rick Flag, alongside Will Smith’s Deadshot, Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, Jai Courtney’s Captain Boomerang, Jay Hernandez’s El Diablo, Adewale Akinnuoye’s Killer Croc, and Adam Beach’s Slipknot.
