*A Mississippi police chief has been terminated after bragging about killing 13 people and making racial and homophobic slurs.
In newly leaked audio that surfaced online, a white man identified as Sam Dobbins is heard talking about the people he has killed over the years in the line of duty, including one Black person whom he shot over 100 times, per the Mississippi Center for Investigative Reporting. Dobbins served as the police chief of the predominantly Black town of Lexington.
“I have killed 13 men in my career, justified,” the man is heard telling another officer in the recording. “In my line of duty, I have shot and killed 13 different people.”
He then recalled a specific shooting that took place in a field, saying: “I shot that n****r 119 times, OK? I saved 67 kids in a school. I chased this motherfucker across the field. I got him. He was DRT [dead right there] in the field. The vehicle was shot 319 times, but he was hit 119 times by me.”
