A Contra Costa County judge has released the names of 17 Antioch police officers accused of using racist slurs, jokes and memes in text messages over a period of more than two years.
Five of the officers are already under investigation by the FBI for alleged crimes. Of the 11 others the judge named at least eight have been put on leave over the racially offensive group texts.
The existence of the text messages became known last month as a result of an ongoing federal probe into Antioch and Pittsburg police officers.
