Former Georgia sheriff's deputy caught bragging about beating a Black man, calling it "sweet stress relief"

A former Georgia Deputy has pleaded guilty to possessing unregistered firearms after the FBI launched an investigation into an extremist group. FBI agents discovered 28-year-old Cody Richard Griggers wrote in a group text that he manufactured and acquired illegal firearms and also expressed views that were consistent with racially motivated violent extremism. 

Members in the group text, who called themselves "Shadow Moses" or "Shadmo," texted about militia-type prepping, including lengthy discussions of weapons, combat gear and survivalist techniques, according to court documents.  In the group text, Griggers used racial and homophobic slurs and made frequent positive references to the Nazi Holocaust, the documents show.
