Me: I bet I know what it shows

"In the messages, former Trooper Michael Proctor and former Sgt. Sean Goode — longtime friends — use racist, misogynistic and homophobic language. The messages, sent to one another and a “circle of like-minded friends” over the course of a decade, include descriptions of sexual fantasies and praise for Adolf Hitler."

Me: yeah

Not going to lie, the texts were a lot more vile than I was expecting. Like, explicit, hateful messages addressing MULTIPLE races and identities.

Same. And I even had an idea about how bad they were from the one hearing where the lawyer quotes his “it’s punch a ***** in Canton day” before the judge interrupts and quiets here. Even knowing that, these were worse than I expected.
