Jury sides with city over cop’s discrimination, retaliation claims
On April 10, a jury found that a black police sergeant in Dallas didn’t face discrimination and retaliation in a hostile work environment. Marcia Trejo, who’s black, claimed that a lieutenant retaliated against her after she filed a grievance about her assignment change. The city contended that the decision to assign Trejo as a station sergeant was not based on race or gender, but was made because Trejo had the least seniority of any of the other officers who bid for the central patrol division on second watch. The city argued that there were no volunteers for the station sergeant position, so the lieutenant decided to make the assignment based on seniority.
