SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office following the sentencing of six officers involved in a police brutality ring known as the “Goon Squad.” The investigation aims to uncover any patterns of excessive force, unlawful stops and searches, and racially discriminatory practices.
