Fire All 44 Cops who were part of a text chain that included, racist, sexist and homophobic comments!!
City of Antioch City Council & Chief of Police, Dr. Steven A. Ford,
I am writing to demand that you listen to the community and hold the Antioch Police Officers caught in the texting scandal ACCOUNTABLE immediately!
Last month we saw the huge bombshell drop that 44 Antioch Police Officers - people who are supposed to protect and serve us - were part of a text chain that included officers using racist, sexist and homophobic language to describe our neighbors in Antioch. This disgusting language follows years of police violence in Antioch.
According to the East Bay Times “For years, Antioch officers routinely used private text messaging groups to flaunt their racist views, spouting slurs in front of superiors without fear of reprisal.” Alongside the texts were racist images and memes shared among officers, including images of gorillas and monkeys.
This is UNACCEPTABLE! In order to regain the public’s trust all 44 of the Antioch Police Officers who were part of the text chain need to be fired immediately!
Stand with Antioch residents, DECERTIFY AND FIRE all Antioch Police Officers involved in the racist text thread!
