San Francisco is being accused of systemic race-based discrimination in a lawsuit filed by 13 white police officers, who say they were passed over for promotion by the local police department because they are white.
The San Francisco Police Department “has a pattern of promoting lower-scoring candidates over higher-scoring candidates when promoting candidates to Sergeant, Lieutenant, and Captain,” according to the 24-page complaint, a copy of which was obtained by The Epoch Times. The complaint was filed June 11 in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California by Fresno-based attorney M. Greg Mullanax.
