A veteran St. Louis cop who was told to tone down his “gayness” to get a promotion has been awarded almost $20 million, according to a report.

Sgt. Keith Wildhaber said he was passed over 23 times for a promotion at St. Louis County Police Department and then punished with a transfer when he complained, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch said.

His captain, Guy Means, privately called him “fruity” and told a friend that the officer was “way too out there with his gayness and he needed to tone it down” to get a promotion, the jury heard, according to the report.

“We wanted to send a message,” the jury foreman told the paper of the huge payout awarded after three-hours’ deliberation Friday.

The Captain won’t pay a penny of the award, the taxpayers will.

I swear, this culture is rapidly swirling the great toilet bowl of history.

The damage he suffered is not worth $23 million

So, the jury depended on hearsay? Lousy lawyer to let that slip by.

Dear SJW jury idiots: the department isn’t paying the damages. You are.

No policeman gets passed over for promotion 23 times because he is gay!

It must be because he is definitely incompetent or dishonest, IMHO...

If the cop was "way out there" and making people uncomfortable with his openly "fruity" affections concerning his sexual preferences, why wasn't he found guilty of sexual harassment?

It still amazes me that in 2019 people like this captain still think this type of behavior can be kept secret. What an idiot.

So, how gay is he? Flamboyant? Militant? Inappropriate behavior towards fellow officers? That jury must be so proud. I hope the taxpayers on the hook for this BS thank them properly.

“Send a message” Explain to me how this poofter has been damaged to the tune of 20 million. It’s not their money so what do they care.
