    Police compete in racist game—to see who can arrest more Black people. Encouraged each other to use excessive force. Even to fire their guns in direction of Black residents. Call them N-words in writing to the group chat. Investigation began over illegal use of Flock cameras by one officer to help a friend sell psilocybin mushrooms and marijuana. Search warrant for his phone looking for Flock camera data—later uncovered the separate racist text thread among officers. 6 officers have been suspended without pay pending Civil Service Board hearings. Incident involved officers from at least 3 separate divisions of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department in North Carolina.

    The text thread between some Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers includes a competition over who can pull over the most Black drivers. There are also numerous uses of the “n-word” related to use of force and discharging firearms at Black residents. Last week, officers who were involved in the text thread faced an internal affairs independent chain of command review board, and numerous officers were recommended for termination. Those officers still could appeal the decision to the Citizens Review Board, and the ultimate decision on termination rests with Chief Estella Patterson.
