RIVERSIDE, Calif. - Banning city officials are conducting an investigation into allegations of racism and discrimination at the Banning Police Department after one current and two former officers issued a letter indicating they may sue the city.
A Los Angeles attorney, Rupert Byrdsong, sent the letter to the Banning City Council, City Manager Andy Takata and Banning Police Chief Leonard Purvis late Sunday requesting the city investigate disciplinary actions, pay, promotions and the general treatment of black officers versus white officers.
The letter details the accounts of three officers - Marcus Futch, fired in September 2010, Greg Herrington, terminated in 2009, and Allen Eley, on administrative leave - who claimed they were harassed, terminated or penalized because they are black. It said white officers who committed more serious offenses faced less severe discipline.
Purvis denied the allegations, saying the officers were fired or disciplined for "major misconduct."

NAALCP is about to run into the La Raza wall in Kalipornia.
In other words, some black cops want to try and win the lawsuit lottery.
