Several members of the Antioch Police Department in Northern California have been identified as subjects of a Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office and FBI investigation into a string of racist text messages dating back to 2019. On Friday (April 14), NBC News reported that the heavily redacted report had been made available to the public.
Instances where several derogatory messages and memes using the racial slur n—ger dated back to September 2019. In a text sent from Evans to Amiri, he wrote, “I’ll bury that n—ger in my fields.” In 2020, Sergeant Jimmy Wisecarver sent a message in the text thread that read, “But we kill more Mexicans than anything else. So Blacks can feel safe.
One message took aim at Mayor Lamar Thorpe, who is Black. It read, “I’ll buy someone a prime rib if they take that [racist epithet] Mayor Thorpe out with a whatever type of weapon.” On Tuesday (April 11), Thorpe called for the officers to be fired, citing his outrage over the hateful rhetoric that was revealed in the 21-page report. “Get the hell out of here. These people can go … they can go fly a kite for all I care. Get out of my police department. We don’t need them here,” he said during a city council meeting.

Without the ability to mobilize, he will lose the battle for public opinion and power in his court, you can see it in the comments already. This is where those community organizers and gang leaders yall swear are useless come in. Imam Jamil (H Rapp Brown) did this in Atlanta in the late 90s.
