ANTIOCH, Calif. (KGO) -- The United States Department of Justice is investigating the Antioch Police Department, following an FBI investigation that uncovered a racist text scandal. The California Department of Justice is also conducting a separate investigation.
"Me being arrested in 2009, was attacked by the Antioch police, choked unconscious, kicked in the face and called a bunch of names that you now see in the text messages," says Franklin Sterling, talking about some of what he shared with the DOJ.
