Racist text messages expose police misconduct in Northern California

More than a dozen police officers in Antioch, Northern California, are under investigation for sending racist text messages that include racial epithets, homophobic slurs, and sharing racist images. The messages could have far-reaching implications for criminal cases linked to the officers. The messages were sent in 2020 and 2021 and could undermine the officers' credibility in hundreds of convictions. The majority of the roughly 114,000 residents of Antioch are minorities.
