Five of 15 Antioch police officers won't be showing up at a court hearing Friday to discuss racism and alleged crimes within the department because the city said they are out on medical leave and can't attend, according to the Bay Area News Group.
The city of Antioch is resisting subpoenas for at least five of its 15 police officers called to testify about racism and alleged crimes within the department, claiming the officers are out on injury leave and therefore unavailable, according to the Bay Area News Group.
The hearing is scheduled so that Contra Costa County Superior Court Judge David Goldstein can make rulings regarding the police department’s alleged violations of the Racial Justice Act. The hearing could result in serious criminal charges being dismissed against four men accused of committing a series of gang-related shootings.
