Five Hispanic police officers from Miami Gardens plan to initiate a class-action whistleblower lawsuit alleging racial discrimination within the department. They report being suspended or demoted after filing complaints about unfair treatment. The officers are demanding the termination of Police Chief Delma Noel-Pratt, claiming widespread mistreatment of officers, particularly Hispanic ones. They have also filed formal complaints with the Florida Commission on Human Relations and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission regarding their claims. One sergeant reported being relieved of duty without explanation for six months, impacting his mental health and family life.
The current police chief is out of control in terms of the mistreatment and abuse of officers, in particular Hispanic officers and officers who complain about wrongdoing.
I was told, go home. No cause. It's demoralizing because I have family.
