Former Mississippi 'Goon Squad' officer accused in lawsuit of another beating prior to conviction...

A former Mississippi “Goon Squad” officer convicted in the brutal racist attack of two Black men has been named in a lawsuit for allegedly beating an inmate at the Rankin County jail.

Christopher Mack filed a federal civil lawsuit Tuesday accusing the former Rankin County deputy, Brett Morris McAlpin, and eight others of beating him for 45 minutes following a May 27, 2021, arrest.

Mack suffered broken ribs, a broken nose and bruises, the suit says. He continues to deal with psychological issues stemming from the beating, his attorney said Saturday.
