Eight minority officers allege Chauvin booking bias
Eight Ramsey County corrections officers, all of color, claim they were ordered to a separate floor and barred from guarding Derek Chauvin when he was booked for George Floyds death. The suit cites racial discrimination, a supervisor’s alleged remark about liability, and a use of limited exposure to the murder suspect. The case prompts a state human rights investigation alongside a broader probe into law enforcement racism.
