Police Discrimination Alleged in Lawsuit
by TChris
Five African American and two Hispanic police officers sued the Greenwich Police Department, alleging a pattern of race discrimination in hiring and promotions, of creating a hostile work environment, and of racially disparate law enforcement:
[The lawsuit] charges that the department disproportionately detained and arrested members of minorities and cites other examples of what the plaintiffs consider questionable conduct, including the use of highly offensive language to refer to racial minorities and a tendency to "mock African-American complainants, witnesses and arrestees, imitating their speech and mannerisms."
