 [01/02] Six Mississippi thugs known as the "Goon Squad" plead guilty to torturing two black men, using a sex toy on them and shooting one of them almost killing him: https://mississippitoday.org/2023/08/03/six-rankin-officers-plead-guilty-to-torturing-two-black-men/ 
 [02/02] The article linked to just above displays symbolic bigotry by capitalizing "black" but not "white". (To avoid endorsing bigotry, capitalize both words or neither one.) I denounce bigotry, and normally I will not link to articles that practice it. But I make exceptions for some articles that I consider important — and I label them like this.
