This DEI hire who attacked his colleague clearly has anger management and violence issues but is being shielded because he is in a "protected group". The victim doesn't appear to be pulling any punches in the lawsuit against the city, clearly mentioning the attacker's melanin content and suggesting that is a factor in the city's refusal to discipline him.
Nope. It's the surname.
He's been with the department for 20 years, so not a DEI hire—it wasn't in use then. But DEI most probably figures into this criminal's retention.
