A former LAPD detective was recorded on video saying racist slurs to a Black man, resulting in a review of hundreds of his past cases by the district attorney's office.

The recently retired officer, identified as John Motto, was captured on video calling the man a "dumb n------" during the heated verbal exchange following a car accident in Valencia, California, CBSLA reported.

"Go back in your little cage until the monkey controller gets here," Motto said in the video that has widely circulated on social media.

The Los Angeles Police Department responded to the incident on their official Twitter page on Tuesday stating that "what is seen in the video is not reflective of the thousands of hard-working and dedicated men and women of the Los Angeles Police Department."

The department added that an internal investigation is underway.

According to CBSLA's report, L.A. County District Attorney George Gascón called the video "horrific" on Wednesday. "It really illustrates, you know, incredibly racist attitudes by this individual," Gascón said, the news station reported.

The Los Angeles District Attorney Officer is set to review 370 past cases handled by the former employee, officials said.

"Under the law, we are required, once we are aware of someone having racist tendencies, as in the case of the individual, we have to notify all the defense lawyers in all the cases that this individual may have been a witness or participated in the investigation," Gascón stated, according to CBSLA.

The LAPD was under fire last month after Valentine's image of George Floyd that said "You take my breath away" was reported to be circulating throughout the department.
