P-D:
Report will probe racial fairness in Police Department
Are black employees treated unfairly in the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department?
That question prompted a 13-month investigation, the findings from which, the department says, will be released Wednesday morning.
Some members of the Ethical Society of Police, an association of 225 black (and zero white) city police officers, have complained that the department discriminates against blacks.
That’s all I needed to know. The “white” (i.e. mainstream) association of St. Louis City cops, the SLPOA, has more black members than the “black” association, this ESP.
Ignore.
UPDATE 7/15: No racism, and it only cost the SPLD $100,000 to pay the law firm that did the study to find this out. In spite of there being no problem, the study recommends several solutions for the non-problem.
The ESP has 225 members. How ’bout the Department dock their checks $10 a week for the next year? That should cover the expenses incurred by their frivolous bitching.
