The California attorney general's office is launching a civil rights investigation into the Antioch Police Department following a federal probe into allegations of bigoted text messages. Driving the news: Attorney General Rob Bonta's announcement Wednesday follows a joint investigation by the FBI and the Contra Costa that uncovered evidence alleging that 17 Antioch officers sent racist, sexist and homophobic messages largely in 2020 and 2021 that almost half the police department was included in.
