- In an exclusive CBS News Bay Area interview, Antioch Police Chief Steven Ford opened up about the racist text messages scandal that's thrown his department into crisis. Katie Nielsen reports.
Shocking! I bet if you audited all police departments you would find this same behavior in all of them.
If you audit white people 98.9 percent of them think the same thing and the rest is not sure so why is this news when the pigs are only reflecting the people in the environment. Now, with that said, this is why every other race think that black people are stupid. How can they still be surprised that this happen when you live in a country that called you monkeys and subhumans for centuries even though they understand every word the monkey or subhumans say , share 99 percent of the genetic make up, which would mean that, they are also monkeys and subhumans since I have never seen people having conversations with animals but hey whatever. Maybe the hospitals should start taking blood from dogs in blood drive since monkeys can donate blood to be used in those humans or people should dang their dogs since some do bang the monkeys .. lol
The chief is a token guy that was given his job because of George floyd and only a puppet . you can always change the looks of things but you cant change hearts and minds... people are who they are !
Exactly
EVERY Last One 💯 Percent of them
plainview project
yep
All the departments and all, not some of the racist, race soldiers.
training won't do a thing if someone's heart is hateful
This comment always annoys me! "If someone's heart is hateful..." blah blah blah. What training does is lead to basic accountability, sets a minimum standard that must be adhered to, and leads to removal of these ppl. Through training, you should figure out who is and is not appropriate for the position.
@@Marv9904 but it doesn’t. “Training” only shows people how to hide it better.
Exactly🤔but the training is still needed and must emphasize any Discrimination Will Not Be Tolerated with Harsh Consequences if Not Upheld🤨They Have to Stand By these Rules With No Ands Ifs Or Buts or We Continue with the Distrust Between Communities and Police 🤨🗽🇺🇸🙏☮️❤️🌟🗽🇺🇸
@@Marv9904That comment annoys you because YOUR heart is being described in that post.
MORE TRAINING means Saturday BBQ where everyone gets O/T.
I am not joking.
NOT ONE THING kops do is legal or lawful, easy to prove.
Typical American police officer behavior
That's because our politicians keep it this way! They have passed the laws that allow this! And will never put laws on the books that make everyone of them personally financially responsible for their actions!
How do you know it's "typical"? Cite some evidence that the average police officer in the US behaves like this.
This shit is going on thru out all police departments...
Exactly 💯!
Exactly
And it seems to never stop because of police unions are Currupt
Yah is exposing these race soldiers
Evidence?
End qualified immunity NOW!
SO ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. PUT THEM ALL IN PRISON. 😡😡😡😡
Yet most police encounters are with blacks. Being tired of the criminals is normal. Try keeping the criminals in jail for a change.
White people don’t do prison time just blacks
Your one of those white people that feels guilty about being white
You all say that there's no racism in america, or a few people. You all are racist. Some show it, and some don't. Smh
Antioch officer Tom Lenderman should be investigated. I watched a video of this officer interacting with a citizen that was sickening. for any officer to act like this knowing he is being video recorded makes you wonder how he acts when no one is filming. also the way he interacts with other officers and the way they interact with him makes you think he could be a ringleader among these rouge officers.
And he earns over $300K/year while routinely violating people’s rights and committing crimes himself.
As for the $64,000 question that the Chief referenced-the answer is easy. They do what they do because they can get away with it. How many of the 38 do
You really think will lose their jobs or suffer any kind of legal repercussions???
@@rosek4180 maybe one
Lets not pretend that this is the only station behaving like this.
Oklahoma on the phone
And let's not make idiotic speculations about every single police department in the US behaving like this.
@@themaskedman221 Who did that?
@@pinballrobbie Almost every top post on this page is doing it. The one right below you reads:
"Shocking! I bet if you audited all police departments you would find this same behavior in all of them."
In reality, whenever these types of scandals break it is typically in precincts that police high-crime neighborhoods that are predominately black. So this goes back to the issue of creating an environment in these communities where the police and residents don't perceive each other as 'the enemy'. But to act like all precincts have this problem -which would include wealthy and predominately white districts where you'd have to imagine these cops casually and frequently dropping the n-word -is absurd.
@@themaskedman221lets not deflect because you don't want to address the racism you benefit from. They didn't say ALL Police Departments so lets not make idiotic speculations they did... Hypocrite
I wish much success for this Chief in his long journey to rectify that department and community.
What do you mean. He is the one who let this happen under his watch
At most they will be allowed to resign so that they can be rehired by some other department to terrorize that community. America loves its racists and coddles them whenever possible.
@@bobbybackpain he’s only been chief for a year there?
If he has been around long enough to be made a chief, he has done and covered up more than you can imagine.
Lmao....all he did was delete all his texts
I wonder what they call the chief when he turns his back. It is so disturbing because this is not the only department that is infested with racists, others don't even want to investigate racial influenced cases, they always deny that race had anything to do with a certain arrest.
That was my question, you know they slung crap about him too....
Swore an oath, given the trust of an innocent community, to be repaid with beatings, drug dealing, thefts, racism, bigotry and betrayals. All while being funded by their victims. Who here is the biggest threat to this community?
This is not just an occurrence in law enforcement - it's the norm for most all sectors of governments and private organizations.
News flash. It's the norm for all sectors of society at this point.
Once your remove God from the minds of the masses, all bets are off. There is no incentive to avoid doing anything that you can get away with.
Crazy how brain dead Democrats still vote in favor of restricting law abiding citizens access to guns with the crackhead idea being that we should depend on drug trafficking police to protect us when a drug dealer tries to kill us after we witness the dealer paying off a cop.
Says a guy typing in his basement.
@@themaskedman221 no response warranted!
@@themaskedman221 He's right!
@@virtualsam He's produced absolutely no evidence of this being a "common occurrence..in all sectors of government and private organizations." Nor has he demonstrated how common it is in law enforcement.
These things tend to happen in districts where predominately white cops police predominately black communities that are low-income and relatively prone to crime. It is a problem where the cops and residents in these districts are antagonists rather than members of a community.
But to act like this is happening in all police departments is nonsense. Cops that work in wealthier communities and spend most of their time writing traffic tickets aren't sending racist text messages to each other.
And you all want us to blindly 'back the blue'?
Fire them immediately. Have special funding to recruit experienced clean officers from other departments. ASAP
"Cleanofficers?" Ha ha ha ha ha et aeternuum.
LOL yes FIRE the majority of your police dept for TEXT messages. Yup that will work out real well. LOL
@@radicalmoderate2730 and replace them ASAP with national guard in the short term.
@@radicalmoderate2730 do you not understand how horrible it is for someone’s job meant to protect others are threatening an entire race of peoples lives? They’re aren’t being fired for “just texts”
@@Rune77 don’t bother with this dude he’s a racist dolt, probably a dirty cop himself
Can I assume that they're going to blame the people and whom they were making the threats against
During my life and various careers I've seen numerous people get a little taste of authority and go absolutely nuts on the power. Some of these people I considered good friends before they went loco.
Trust me, this isn't just in Antioch… this is pretty much any department in the US.
Trust you? And who are you again?
I'll trust evidence thanks.
@@themaskedman22117 police officers, one department, that's fact. Lynching, segregation, mass murder of Native Americans, that's fact. Your denial is, fact
Black peoples get yourself a Big Gun and get ready?
@@themaskedman221 Yes trust him and everyone else, this is America this is happening everywhere.
@@FreshtexBlackman placing blind trust in the words of a youtube commenter is as simple minded as you can get
It is an indictment on the entire organization..MORE than a QUARTER of your officers were caught by chance, what about the ones who weren't ? / stupid enough to leave a paper trail.
My exact sentiments!
I am surprised they have not investigated themselves and found they did nothing wrong.
How about this...DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! FIRE THEM ALL!!
Send them to Ukraine, fighting for democracy and human rights. 😂
He has to deal with the police Union also which normally backs the officer whether he's right or wrong.
Now I don’t know their policy but if I were him I would just release the names of these government employees who betrayed the trust of the people. Especially since he wasn’t chief when it started.
When government fails the people suffer, when business fails the business suffers.
As a resident in a neighboring town. This is the old Bay Area racism that moved to the east bay generations ago. It’s disturbing and infuriating. But sadly not surprising. It’s always been here since.
Those texts need to be used as evidence and all those dirty thugs with badges need to be prosecuted to the fullest. Send them to prison for life, no possibility of parol.
Well, they didn’t worry about their phones getting checked because they knew their chief would think it was funny too, and he obviously allowed them to be this way, so I hope he was fired and he should never be a cop again
Antioch police is a shame. Leadership failed
THEY GOT THAT WAY BECAUSE OF THE CULTURE AND COMPLICITY. IT'S WHO THEY TRULY ARE AS A PERSON! THIS IS THE NORM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY,!
Sad and dangerous, for citizens, , racist ppls are evel, and can not trust.
Another bunch of heroes. Serving and protecting the shit out of the public. Happening all over this country.
Down with the APOA. If officers want a “union”, dissolve this association and start from scratch.
Thank GOD, what is done in the dark will come to light!!..Thank you GOD.
This police chief is not being honest with his assessment because he doesn’t want to open the city up for lawsuits.
And yet, they still BLINDLY believe everything the police says.
Sheep
How is being on paid leave a punishment?
It's a extra Bonus. Tax Money for realxing at home. Smh
I dont see the surprise. That goes on everywhere. Once you put people in a position of power, they feel that they are better than everyone.
Federal hate crime...and no amount of taxpayer funded training will stop a hate filled heart.... these clowns need to serve time, be decertified and sit in a cell. Ending qualified immunity would have prevented this because thugs would know they are accountable alone and not taxpayers.
Send them to Ukraine, to fight for our democracy and freedom. Lmao.. Greetings from Europe
All associated with that texting should be fired and have all of their cases reviewed!! This is sick and sad!!
It comes from the top
There everywhere there a gang
Why is this surprising to anyone at this point?
This is where Bullie with a Badge tommy Lenderman #48 works !!! I’ve seen him in a very troubling video just the other day !!!!
No trial, no hearing. Just a text including the comments, and saying you're fired. What are they going to do, try and defend the remarks.
That is a Federal hate crime. No pay . Take all of these officers firearms away . If not they are a threat .
I never want to hear again that racism is over. It’s bigger than ever at this point.
Chris Dorner talked about this and tried to fix it but was hunted down.
I Remeber, was years ago.. At the end, he Runs Amok.. Sad how this bullys, can destroys lifes.
I understand we need police officers but I don’t want my tax dollars to fund my community to get beaten, threatened, harassed, and basically hated for our skin color by these monsters! Lawsuits should come from their police pension fund! Something they care about and maybe they will hold each other accountable! It’s hard too respect them with incidents like this occurring across our Nation!
It’s a systemic pandemic in most police Departments all over the country.
😂 “paid leave” = vacation, no?
I agree this behavior is not ok from these racist officers. They do not belong in the force to protect the community. If their words are that disgusting imagine how sick their minds must be. These men have not progressed in their humanity. We must tolerate each other even more as we age because we are supposed to get wiser not more ignorant. These words are very offensive to me as well.
SOUL SEARCHING!!!! What about FIRED!!??
He’s with the agenda
AUDIT THEM ALL
I hope this chief does the right thing and holds them accountable. File charges on all bad cops. Make the police force held to better standards.
Always Growing, criminals continuing to be accepted/wanted in positions they absolutely do NOT belong by the same that came before them! The tangled web……. Blessings 💜
And they still wonder why we hate them……
Maybe not hate!! How about "trust"
So why exactly do we need police? Why can’t we just protect ourselves?
Politicians wants to controll, the citizens.. And the money
When people show you who they really are, believe it.
These are our public servants 😢
Reorganizing and Soul Searching?
How about disbanding and Federal indictment.
very shocking?
THIS Chief sounds awesome! If I was a resident I would trust him. He's been down this road and can steer the ship through the mess ahead. Good luck SIR!
Praying for your success and safety 🙏🏿.
Chief, "I see nothing wrong here, they not talking about me, they are only talking about people that look like me."
All this time the officers in this department referred to the chief as gorilla or monkey😂😂😂. The chief really thought he was one of them😂😂😂😂. He went to BBQs and gatherings thinking he was the same. All along he was the pet monkey that someone would invite 😂😂😂. And he was shocked😂😂😂😂😂. What a dumb ass.😂😂😂😂
Honestly they should investigate on Vacaville to
I was recently rejected from a department for "not being fully prepared for my interview"
-I have 0 criminal record
-BA degree (Politics)
-AA Degree in Social Sciences
-Years of volunteer work
-Experience & Training as a firefighter
-Experience in data management & analytics
-Passed the physical and written exam with high scores.
I see the opportunities these officers wasted, yet, they were given the chance to serve the public. I wonder how prepared they were during their interviews....
Can you teach dignity to adults?
There isn't one cop in that entire Department that didn't know what was happening amongst their fellow officers, yet collectively, not one, had the spine to onfront it. Thin Blue Line at it again.
That's dangerous Behavior, for All citizens. This racist cops, got Power, and they use it, without mercy.. Remove this cops. Greetings from Europe
Audit their entire arrest records.
I’m not surprised I hade my share of disrespect from police in the past.
The racists have to be removed from having that kind of authority...🔺🔺🔺
Wow...if your gonna be a cop you are a public servant. Be fair to all.
Saying this media outlet is the Only place ppl will see this story, is concerning.
EVERYONE in the nation/world Must be aware of the corrupt practices, civil rights violations and abusive behaviors of ALL it Law enforcement agencies. Thinking or reporting this as if its exclusive to one department when the Whole system in which they operate under, condones, ignores and provides immunity from prosecution for these organized terrorist gang members.
Acting as if this isnt pervasive in the entirety of the country, is a willful ignorance that is dangerous for us all.
So much for a failed relationship between the government and citizens.
Sounds like the best course of action is to dissolve this city police department and sign a contract with the county for police protection. This will create the funding to enlarge the county and eliminate this insane and rogue city police.
Yes this is really dangerous, they don't work for the whole Comunity. The use there Power,to Terroris citizens greetings from Germany
As a black man and the chief of police, i cant image how he must feel having iver 30 of his officers caught red handed in such egregious and disgraceful circumstances as a result of their behavior. Sickening sums it up.
It will never stop.
In any other business or agency in the country all people on a racist text chain would be fired. Seems pretty simple to me.
Most cops are juicing 😂😂😂
They better not give them "desk duty". Fire them.😤
Always film the police
I blame the politicians who fail to keep leashes on their dogs.
Especially the Republican Party who promotes this racism and defending of racist cops
They are tired of thugs.
I hope the chief and mayor makes National changes to remove these bad elements in the justice system.
This is why ninjas dont like cops
Give the names of the officers and let the public judge them accordingly.
How are they on PAID leave!?😤
That is sad and disgraceful.
What a shame, Antioch is a beautiful working class village.
On a visit to San Francisco,
I took my children on a BART ride to the terminal there.
That was in the late 80s, I guess it has changed.
Lots of luck, and well wishes.
Section 8 ruined Antioch
@@obijuankenobi420:
Sorry to hear that.
We did not leave the terminal platform.
But, we were impressed by what we saw.
I think the Chief is a good man who seems really sad he has to address this again and again .
Its not shocking, its to be expected. Defund
Chief Ford, you don't need to be "low key" about this. It is time to be angry, but a professional.
Prosocute them hate crime assault, and lawsuits. Only thing that will change this behavior. Fire them they will move 2 another station it happens all the time
Prosecute them? Is using the n-word in private texts illegal or something?
@@johnseller7641 you're the problem. An no but other things they said is
@@johnseller7641 they talked about beating people and planting evidence as well as accepting bribes all of which are crimes you dolt
Anyone think for a minute that this chief did not know about this stuff? He looked away and got his promotions.
And we are the criminals in their eyes
Integrity beyond reproach is what we want from our law enforcement. Authority beyond reproach is what they deliver.
Those cops needs to be on the brady list forever!!
64,000$ question ❓👉 they have been getting away with it FOREVER 👈
“…it was really…powerful…to hear him speak so candidly about how this has not only impacted him but also the department and the profession as a whole…” 😮. He is a hero…the police chief for a year and this was a total shock to him. He oversees 112 police officers…he should know every complaint filed against them (193 in the last 4 years) after the 2nd month!!!! This is a joke!
He needs to DUMP THEM ALL! Otherwise he is doing the same damn thing. If not, he has the same soft balls.
Whats more essential is to STOP VIOLATING PEOPLE'S RIGHTS!
We don't know what he really thinks. Almost all big organizations try to sping bad news in the public eye. What goes on behind closed doors is a different matter.
People in authority who practice these behaviors are the very worst of our society. These peole need to have the sh** kicked outta them. Humble them a-holes.
