Police officer awarded $20 million after being told to 'tone down' his 'gayness'
A jury has awarded a Missouri police officer nearly $20 million after he was told to “tone down” his “gayness” if he ever wanted to be promoted, according to his lawsuit which has prompted calls for his department’s police chief to resign.
In 2014 he underwent a test and assessment for the position and was ranked No. 3 out of 26 total candidates. Of the top nine candidates to make consideration, seven of them were promoted, with Wildhaber being one of the two who were not. The other officer is said to have had disciplinary issues. Wildhaber eventually filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and a month later he said he was reassigned from his afternoon shift to an overnight one at a precinct that was nearly 30 miles from his home.
County Councilwoman Lisa Clancy on Sunday called on Belmar to resign while accusing him of overseeing a “culture of rampant racism and homophobia.” St. Louis County Executive Sam Page announced on Sunday that he will be naming new members to the St. Louis County Police Board this week.— County Executive Sam Page October 27, 2019
