Brett McAlpin, the highest-ranking officer involved in the torture of two Black men by six former Mississippi law enforcement officers in January 2023, was sentenced to over 27 years in prison. McAlpin, described as the leader of the rogue cops, pleaded guilty to federal charges including conspiracy against rights and obstruction of justice.
The incident involved a squad of White officers raiding a home without a warrant, subjecting the victims to racist abuse, tasers, beatings, and a shooting. McAlpin expressed remorse in court but did not directly address the victims.
