A brief article by Eunice Trotter this afternoon on the Indianapolis Star website reports that:
The U.S. Justice Department has filed a discrimination lawsuit against the City of Indianapolis alleging several Indianapolis police officers were discriminated against on the basis of race or gender.[Updated 7/13/07] Here is the expanded story, by Vic Rychard of the Star.
In the lawsuit, the officers, all white males, allege that in 2005 white female officers and black male officers listed on promotions eligibility lists were promoted before other officers ranked higher on the list. The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Indiana in Indianapolis.
