Affirmative Action @ it’s best
SAN FRANCISCO—The city of San Francisco will pay $1.6 million to 12 police officers who claimed they were passed over for promotions because of reverse discrimination.
The Board of Supervisors approved the payment Tuesday after a settlement was reached in federal court two years ago.
The officers accused the Police Department of illegally favoring five black candidates for promotions to lieutenant.
One of the attorneys in the case says one 23-year veteran of the department will get $200,000 after attorneys’ fees. The other officers will get between $100,000 to $50,000 each.
The city has said race was not a factor in the promotions, and did not admit to any wrongdoing in the settlement.
