Maryland Police Sued Over Racial Discrimination Claims
MarylandAttorney General Stephen Sachs may face a tough fight defending the state against a 40.5 million federal lawsuit by the Coalition of Black Maryland State Police Troopers alleging unfair promotion and disciplinary practices and racial slurs by white officers. The suit relies on Sachs’s investigative report calling the promotion system legally indefensible, with 186 black troopers in the unmilitary force. Sachs says his office will defend the defensible and not defend the indefensible as he weighs legal exposure and timing around interim promotion guidelines to be announced by police superintendent Wilbert Travers Jr.
