"Three Northern California police officers under investigation in a probe into racist and derogatory text messages were indicted on conspiracy charges alleging they “touted” their use of excessive force and collected “trophies,” court documents unsealed Thursday show.
Eric Rombough, Devon Wenger and Mortez Amiri have been accused of conspiring to “injure, oppress, threaten and intimidate” residents in Antioch, a city of roughly 114,000 people located 45 miles northeast of San Francisco, according to a 30-page indictment filed in federal court in California's Northern District.
The three are among 14 Antioch Police Department officers who allegedly sent a raft of derogatory messages that were released earlier this year, according to an investigative report compiled by the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office.
In a separate criminal case unsealed Thursday, Wenger and another Antioch officer were accused of conspiracy to distribute steroids, destroying, altering and falsifying federal records, and other crimes."...

The job does have its downside. Some end up succumbing to the dark side.

1b.) Colonial Virginia Authorizes Enslavers to Kill "Rebellious Slaves"
“On October 20, 1669, the Virginia Colonial Assembly enacted a law that removed criminal penalties for enslavers who killed enslaved people resisting authority. The assembly justified the law on the grounds that “the obstinacy of many [enslaved people] cannot be suppressed by other than violent means.”
The law provided that an enslaver's killing of an enslaved person could not constitute murder because the “premeditated malice” element of murder could not be formed against one’s own property.”

“I [patroller’s name], do swear, that I will as searcher for guns, swords, and other weapons among the slaves in my district, faithfully, and as privately as I can, discharge the trust reposed in me as the law directs, to the best of my power. So help me, God.”

One such devious law is the Casual Killing Act of 1669 which declared...
