The charges, according to the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office, are wide-ranging and include; conspiracy to violate civil rights, wire fraud, distribution of steroids, numerous civil rights violations, destruction, alteration and falsification of records and federal investigations and obstruction of justice.

Antioch Mayor Lamar Thorpe confirmed that multiple officers were arrested by the FBI on Thursday morning in a civil rights probe that started in early 2022.

"Today is a dark day in our city's history, as people trusted to uphold the law, allegedly breached that trust and were arrested by the FBI," Thorpe said in a statement. "As our city absorbs this tragic news, we must come together as one. Today's actions are the beginning of the end of a long and arduous process."

The former Antioch Police Steven Ford resigned his office on August 11th. He had been on the job less than year. The Contra Costa County D.A. had opened an investigation in both police departments earlier this year.

That these men and women should never been allowed sworn in as police officers is beyond doubt. Their conduct was reprehensible. They were suppose to guarding the public safety, instead they made outrageous, racist, homophobic and misogynistic texts and phone call about the very people they were sworn to protect.

Lock theirs collective asses in jail, preferably in GenPop.

They will have their day in court.
Perhaps there's a flaw in the vetting procedure?
Psychological evaluation should be more extensive?

Lock them up, the penalty for when a police officer breaks the law should be a 100xs worst than when a citizen breaks the law.

I would like to think that I know these police, but my incident with them was in 1991, so most likely not? But the Police that fucked with me were young then as well so maybe a few got caught up with them.

It was a night after a Mike Tyson boxing match. I drank 4 beers in 3 hours. I drove from rodeo to oakley. Sometime after martinez a motorcycle cop began following me. I was literally driving the exact speed limit of 55mph. Next thing I knew there is a police car following me. I get off in Oakley and they turn on their lights. The cop that comes to my window is prick, I ask him what I got pulled over for and he says drunk driving, that a two truck driver and citizens called in to report me. I called him, exact words, "a fucking liar". The next thing I know there are 4 police cars and the motorcycle cop. Three police were in my face, saying I was drunk and they were taking me to jail, I was a dick to them, cussing at them, telling them to go to hell. One policeman had a hand held breathalyzer that the three pricks would not let him use. They turned their back for a second which gave the policeman a chance to hurriedly have me blow. I was .038, the policeman laughed at everyone and told them to let me go. I was lucky, they most likely would of beat the fuck out of me. I had them boiling mad.

From before I got pulled over, they were intent to take me to jail. They lied about my driving. I was suspicious because nobody does the speed limit.

Maybe it was a few of these, friends of these, or mentors, superiors.

They deserve more than what they will get.

Both Antioch and Pittsburg are in Contra Costa (CoCo) County, a more conservative part of the Bay Area with history racial violence going back as far as the 1980's. A Black Man was hanging at the Concord B.A.R.T. Station....no person was charged with that crime.

Concord march recalls 1985 hanging at BART station -

About 30 people marched through the downtown the evening of Nov. 2 with signs, enlarged photos and flyers in remembrance of Timothy Charles Lee, a 23-year-old man whose body was found hanging from a tree near the Concord BART Station on Nov. 2, 1985.

Certain communities in the Bay Area seem to attract a certain element (Vallejo California for example) that likes to use violence under color of authority.

I hope some of not all of the officers are held accountable for what they have done.

Damn near all cops break their oaths every single day. The constitution should come before anything, like they said when they took their oath.
I have been watching 1st amendment auditors in action, and there are so many tyrant cops. Its sad.

Dems-China-Antifa-BLM-Socialist scum are infecting everything.

The pool is shrinking hourly across the nation of those willing to become Police officers. Soon it will be only Tattooed - Pierced Criminals willing to try for the job.
