Yikes! I hope this is overblown.

And the race card gets played again......

The case also claims discrimination because the 91 supervisors are almost all white and the roughly 1,300 operators are mostly Hispanic or black.

This has been going on for years, I met a group of NYPD dispatchers at a conference quite a while ago ago and they told similar stories. I remember a news article of a dispatcher who was forced to work a double shift then arrested in the dispatch center when a complaint was made that her kids were home alone.

I did have to laugh at the mention of an Armed supervisor. Considering they work for a police department, is there any other kind? Gotta love the lame stream media.
