A high-ranking officer claims there’s a culture of race-based discrimination within the Maryland State Police
A discrimination lawsuit filed against the Maryland State Police and the state fire marshal’s office is moving forward after a federal judge said he found enough evidence to support some of the claims made in the complaint.
Derek Chapman filed a lawsuit in February claiming a culture of racism has been allowed to exist in the Maryland State Police and the state fire marshal’s office for years.
“It made me feel good because someone’s listening. When you look at the whole entire case and you see it, it blows people away. But this is what happened and now someone’s listening,” Chapman told reporters outside the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial on Wednesday.
Chapman is a deputy chief in the Office of the State Fire Marshal, which is an agency of the Maryland State Police. He said he’s hoping to end a “good ole boy” system within the Maryland State Police.
Discrimination has been going on at the State Police dept. for years. I know someone who had many years in with the state police but when he learned of the blacks getting an easier test for entry, he quit!!
whats the percentage of the population is represented in the ranks of the worthless state police?
I would venture to guess it’s higher for certain socio-ethnic groups then the it is for the general public!
cry me a river you worthless bastards!
