A few weeks ago, the Contra Costa County district attorney released the results of an investigation that found up to 40% of police officers in Antioch, a Bay Area enclave with a majority of nonwhite residents, were linked to a racist text messaging chain.
Calling Black people "monkeys" and "gorillas" wasn't the worst of it. The messages, spanning over a multiple-year period, used the N-word repeatedly and joked about targeting people based on skin color. They may end up documenting civil rights violations based on race.
Under a new state law, the California Law Enforcement Accountability Reform Act, also known as Assembly Bill 655, such hate speech may be an offense that requires termination — if substantiated.
Many police don't know about the law, said Ed Obayashi, a lawyer and Plumas County sheriff's deputy who advises law enforcement departments statewide on social media misconduct. And most of them, he added, don't understand what its full implications might be.
