lack troopers in the Maryland Department of State Police have accused the agency of racism and discrimination, pointing to disparities in discipline and promotions, as well as underrepresentation and alleged instances of retaliation, according to a state senator.
Maryland State Sen. Joanne Benson of Prince George’s County met with more than 20 Black troopers who presented her with documents detailing their claims, WRC in Washington reported Thursday. The television station did not identify the troopers because those who spoke out are violating department policy.
“They had the paperwork. They had the proof,” Benson said. “They had done their homework relative to the incidents that have occurred and the problems they were experiencing.”
Benson, a Democrat, said she would call Superintendent Woodrow “Jerry” Jones before the legislative Black Caucus. Jones has headed Maryland State Police for the past year.
“It is unacceptable. We’re not going to go along with it,” Benson said.
The agency has denied the allegations, but didn’t respond to the station’s request for comment.
Well it is the Other way around , i was told by the White Troopers !!!!!
Well it is the Other way around , i was told by the White Troopers !!!!!
For years the Whites have been discriminated against & the Blacks Favored !!!! It’s called Affirmative Action !!!!
Man, is there any positive things in a black scull? This is without a doubt bull crap. It must be a bad feeling to not be proud of who you are. These types of blacks (some) wouldn’t be happy if the state doubled their salary over a trooper that’s not black. To start with they are troopers in the same uniform. It is the same uniform with any color, race or nationality. Grow up folks, do a good job and that’s all you can do. I wore a uniform, as a White man and have been treated unfair in my mind (unjust now) and passed over. I was once told if I didn’t like the way a superior was treating me, I could gain rank and one day supervise that guy. Too much whining from blacks today. Be grateful you have a means to support yourself and family.
Black troopers are given every advantage over every other race and the majority are extremely racist and corrupt … and never held accountable, now they’re trying to cash in
Same happens in Corrections (Jails & Prisons) Blacks favored over more qualified Whites !!!
& once they get some power , they treat the Whites like shhhht & get away with it !!!!
Power goes to their heads , & they want to make the Whites suffer in retaliation for the slave days !!!!
It’s a Broken Record after awhile !!! Race this Race That !!! Sick of it
well then we must defund the racist organization. no more msp no more discrimination! easy peasy!
All MSP does is Radar the roads & write tickets all day !!! The Real Police are the city police !!!!
MSP is NOT needed > Go ahead & get rid of it !!! Anybody can write tickets all day !!!!
They are worthless sponges taking your taxpayer $$$$$ , Defund MSP & give the $$$$$ to City Police !!!!!
More racist BS!!! This mess is getting old. A lot of people should learn how promotions are dished out in law enforcement. Trust me it has nothing to do with the color of your skin!!!
It is who kisses ass & willing to backstab , & if you are Black , that is icing in the cake > you get the promotion !!!
I was an officer & for 24 years , & I saw the Truth is that the Least qualified Black got promoted & they turned
into Monsters with their heads swelled up, to Harass & make the White officers miserable !!!!
They got to cause Illegal Hostile Work Environment & allowed to get away with it !!!
Whenever you wrote up anything about discrimination , from a White officer, it was Swept Under the Rug !!!
Discrimination is a TWO way street , but Govt thinks it is a One way , Only Whites Discriminate they think !!!!!
This is WHY Affirmative Action Laws should be Illegal !!!! It Allows Blacks to Discriminate against Whites !!!!
