   The four San Francisco police officers under investigation for   
   sending racist and homophobic text messages have all been on the   
   force for more than a decade, and at least two have faced   
   disciplinary action in the past, The Chronicle has learned.   
      
   San Francisco police Chief Greg Suhr said Saturday that he could   
   not confirm the officers’ identities under state law, but   
   stressed that he will seek to fire those responsible for the   
   messages. “It makes me sick to my stomach to even have these   
   guys around,” he said.   
      
   The four officers — identified by multiple sources with   
   knowledge of the matter as Michael Robison, Noel Schwab, Rain   
   Daugherty and Michael Celis — were transferred to non-public-   
   contact positions in the department last month. The action came   
   soon after the federal authorities in turned over messages in   
   2011 and 2012 sent to and from former SFPD Sgt. Ian Furminger,   
   who was recently convicted in federal court on corruption   
   charges.   
      
   The racially charged and homophobic texts came to light in a   
   filing in federal court Friday by prosecutors seeking to keep   
   Furminger in custody as he appeals his conviction and 40-month   
   sentence on federal corruption charges.
