Investigative report detailing alleged racist texts involving Antioch police officers released by the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office.
A superior court judge on April 7 released the names of the involved officers - among them was the president of the Antioch police union."The culture of the Antioch Police Department is a problem," Thorpe recently said."The culture of the department requires further exploration, including how the hell all this alleged misconduct could go on for so long without anyone on command staff noticing.
Contra Costa County Public Defender Ellen McDonnell said thousands of past and current criminal cases could be impacted or overturned as a result of the alleged racist text messages sent by Antioch police. Michael Rains, an attorney representing the officers, has asked the public to stay neutral until the content and context are revealed. He also points out sometimes officers say or repeat things they do not mean during stressful situations.
