Louisiana state troopers texted about giving Black suspect an 'a-- whoopin''
Louisiana state troopers texted about allegedly beating a Black suspect after he surrendered following a high-speed chase, according to court filings.
The filings from earlier this month were first reported by local blog Sound Off Louisiana on Thursday, according to The Washington Post. They included expletive- filled messages from a group chat that trooper Dakota DeMoss, who is white, sent three other white troopers about an "a-- whoopin'" given to Antonio Harris.
The Louisiana State Police wrote in the filing that the exchange occurred after Harris was sent to jail.

Brown, DeMoss, Harper, and Randall Dickerson were arrested last month on simple battery and malfeasance charges after a two-year investigation into excessive force.

These guys probably didn't realize that texts last a long time unless they're deleted.
