An investigation by the Los Angeles Times has found that hundreds of Southern California criminal cases could be jeopardized after police officers exchanged racist and homophobic text messages. The state attorney general has begun an independent probe.

FILE - California Attorney General Rob Bonta speaks at a news conference on Aug. 17, 2021, in Sacramento, Calif. Hundreds of Southern California criminal cases could be jeopardized by more than a dozen police officers who exchanged racist and homophobic text messages. "The review comes amidst deeply concerning allegations of excessive force, racist text messages, and other discriminatory misconduct," Bonta's office said in a news release.

Other messages, the Times found, spoke about using violence against suspects and lying to investigators about a police shooting. The newspaper’s story prompted the state attorney general, hours after it was published, to announce an independent probe of the Torrance Police Department.
