Six white US police officers admit torturing Black men
Six white Mississippi police officers tortured two innocent Black men using a sex toy, Tasers and a sword in an hours-long attack that ended with one man shot through the mouth and neck, the US Department of Justice said Thursday. The brutal assault, and its subsequent cover-up in which the men left one victim bleeding as they hid evidence of their crimes, is the latest race-tinged stain on US policing. "The defendants in this case tortured and inflicted unspeakable harm on their victims, egregiously violated the civil rights of citizens who they were supposed to protect, and shamefully betrayed the oath they swore as law enforcement officers," said Attorney General Merrick Garland. Five now-former members of Mississippi's Rankin County Sheriff's Department and one former member of the Richland Police Department pleaded guilty Thursday to multiple charges including civil rights conspiracy, deprivation of rights under color of law and obstruction of justice. All six acknowledged that while responding to a report of suspicious activity on January 24 this year, they kicked in a door at a house and began a sustained and unprovoked attack on two Black men there. They handcuffed the men and racially abused them, warning them to "stay out of Rankin County," the DoJ said. "The defendants punched and kicked the men, tased them 17 times, forced them to ingest liquids, and assaulted them with a dildo," a press release said. They also hit one man multiple times with a metal sword and a wooden kitchen implement, the DoJ said. Deputy Hunter Elward, 31, removed a bullet from the chamber of his gun and forced his weapon into one man's mouth before pulling the trigger. "Elward racked the slide, intending to dry-fire a second time. When Elward pulled the trigger, the gun discharged. The bullet lacerated (the victim's) tongue, broke his jaw and exited out of his neck," the DoJ said. As their critically injured victim lay bleeding, the men set about planting evidence to justify their actions. "Remarkably, the victim survived the shooting even though these defendants left him lying on the floor gushing blood for a considerable amount of time... because they were too busy developing a false story to try and cover up their misconduct," prosecutor Kristen Clarke told reporters. "The actions of these defendants not only caused significant physical, emotional and psychological harm to the victims, but also caused harm to the entire community, who feel they cannot trust the police officers who are supposed to serve them and leaving other police officers to try to mend the communal wounds inflicted by these defendants," said Clarke. "This trauma is magnified because the misconduct was fueled by racial bias and hatred." Elward, Brett McAlpin, 52, Christian Dedmon, 28, Jeffrey Middleton, 46, Daniel Opdyke, 27 and Joshua Hartfield, 31, pleaded guilty to all charges against them. Dedmon, Elward, and Opdyke also pleaded guilty to three other felony charges stemming from another episode of brutality against a white man in December. All six are due to be sentenced November 14. Horrifying episodes of police abuses against minorities in the United States burst into the public consciousness with unwelcome frequency, with victims like George Floyd and Breonna Taylor symbols of what critics say is wrong with the US model of law enforcement.

FASHION BRAND celebrates queer club culture, safe spaces
In celebration of queer club culture and the safer spaces they provide this LGBTQ+ Pride Month, London-based fashion brand COS offers a limited-edition T-shirt capsule featuring designs created with four iconic club experiences worldwide — Horse Meat Disco, House of Yes, Sink the Pink and Churros con Chocolate — continuing to support LGBTQ+ communities internationally. Since before the pandemic, these spaces have declined in numbers, with several still facing battles due to transphobia, homophobia and gentrification. The beating heart of many queer communities and an important way to be inspired, each of the collectives offer their communities a space to connect and celebrate, allowing freedom to be themselves, whether performing or in the crowd. Embodying the creativity and individuality of each collaborator, international music festival headliner Horse Meat Disco’s T-shirt features a bold and colorful disco design representing the community coming together through the love of disco and dancing, while New York-based House of Yes, a space dedicated to connection and creativity, offers a powerful heart-shaped design with interconnected lines to represent love while creating something unique and beautiful. Alongside this, Sink the Pink, legendary UK collective and advocates of self-expression, shares a playful Queen of Club’s design, a beautiful representation of their legacy, and Churros con Chocolate, Spain’s festival of fun, recreates their iconic poster designs, which illustrate dress-up and their flamboyant guests. The collectives offer their communities a space to connect and celebrate, allowing freedom to be themselves, whether performing or in the crowd. Shot by Brett Lloyd, the campaign features faces that form the heart and soul of worldwide LGBTQ+ communities. COS will donate 100 percent of the profits from sales of this collaboration to support Metro Manila Pride, a volunteer-managed organization dedicated to educating, equipping and empowering the Filipino LGBTQ+ community, working towards a future without discrimination and prejudice. The COS Pride collection is available globally at Cos.com and the COS Store Manila in SM Aura Premier.
