The release of 390 racist texts found by authorities on the cellphones of former Torrance officers offer the clearest picture yet of the depth of the alleged misconduct.
Reigniting a scandal that began last December, new racist texts have emerged from Torrance police officers who joked on their telephones about urinating on a Black child, gassing Jews and beating up a woman.
The texts, sent between July 2018 and February 2020, showed officers referring to detainees as “savages,” “moon crickets” and “monkeys.” “Misconduct where officers fall below this standard will not be tolerated. We understand that we are fortunate to have the opportunity to improve this police department and take this responsibility very seriously,” said the statement. “We will provide public safety. We will rebuild community trust. We will do better.”“The police department and the California Department of Justice have already initiated investigations and we must allow this process to continue to the end,” Chen said.
