TYT: Cops’ Homophobic And Racist Text Messages Leaked



"Seven San Francisco police officers might lose their jobs over racist text messages they sent each other between 2011 and 2012, according to The San Francisco Chronicle.

The text messages are reported to contain offensive comments about gay men, Filipinos, and Hispanics. Several of the officers involved in the scandal have worked in minority neighborhoods. The term “white power” is alleged to have been used multiple times.

One text reportedly reads: “All niggers must fucking hang.” Another said: “Cross burning lowers blood pressure! I did the test myself!,” according to The Guardian.” *
