Description

The discrimination lawsuit filed by five African American police officers against the department is raising serious questions about diversity and equality on the police force. The suit's plaintiffs claim they've been passed over for promotions and have been subjected to a racially hostile atmosphere. Police officials deny claims that the men were discriminated against because of their skin color. The case is also causing concern among some black leaders who fear it will discourage people of color from joining the force.
