The chief of police in the predominantly Black town of Lexington, Mississippi, was fired this week after a leaked recording published by an investigative news outlet revealed that the white official bragged about killing 13 people in the line of duty – including shooting one Black man at least 119 times.
A 16-minute audio recording – which was reportedly recorded in April by another officer and provided to a civil rights group – includes now-former police chief Sam Dobbins delivering a racist tirade of admissions.
