San Francisco Prosecutor To Probe Old Cases Over Racist Texts By Police

(Reuters) - San Francisco prosecutors will study all criminal investigations conducted over the past 10 years in light of an inquiry into racist and homophobic text messages allegedly sent by four police officers, District Attorney George Gascón said Monday.
