- White police chief in Mississippi regularly used racist slurs, private text messages reveal
Harold Vandeford, the police chief of Senatobia, routinely used racist slurs in private text messages with colleagues, according to reporters. These texts showed him making multiple offensive statements and describing having "racist moments." This pattern of behavior occurred amid broader complaints about discriminatory policing, following a fatal shooting of a 1-year-old Black toddler.
