Ten Black female officers sue Washington, DC, police, alleging discrimination and 'pervasive retaliation' after raising concerns to the department
A group of former and current Black women officers filed a class action lawsuit against the Washington, DC police on Wednesday claiming racial and sexual discrimination, a hostile workplace and a culture of intimidation.
The 10 women say that while on the job at the Metropolitan Police Department they were subjected to a male-dominated"culture of race and sex discrimination" and"intense pervasive retaliation" when they complained about it. All but one of the women are current and former members of the force with at least 15 years of experience, according to the lawsuit. A current assistant police chief, lieutenant and sergeant are among the plaintiffs.
