CNN
Following allegations of excessive force, racist text messages and other misconduct, the Torrance Police Department in California faces an independent review from the state's department of justice, Attorney General Rob Bonta said Wednesday.
The announcement comes after an investigation by the Los Angeles Times revealed a history of discriminatory text messages reportedly sent between what it says were at least a dozen current and former Torrance police officers and recruits, including a photo of Black men being lynched with the caption "hanging with the homies."
