Baltimore Police Settle $2.5M Bias Suit
A settlement of a race discrimination lawsuit against the Baltimore Police Department calls for a payment of $2.5 million to more than a dozen plaintiffs. The plaintiffs had claimed that black officers were punished more harshly than white officers. The department will also hire a consultant to monitor the internal disciplinary process for the next three years. The Board of Estimates must approve the settlement.Information from: The Baltimore Sun
