## Resource

A Black NYPD lieutenant is suing the department, alleging he was systematically denied overtime shifts while non-Black lieutenants in his unit were favored—part of a broader pattern of racial discrimination and retaliation. He claims his supervisor pressured officers to meet arrest quotas, using overtime as a reward, and that he faced disciplinary action for legitimately working overtime, costing him vacation days, money, and a promotion. After speaking out, he was transferred multiple times, and now seeks a jury trial to hold the department accountable for silencing whistleblowers and perpetuating systemic bias within the Strategic Response Group.
