Freeport, New York: Evidence of Reverse Discrimination Was So ‘Overwhelming’ That a Jury Awarded the Victim More Than $1 Million - “[Lt. Christopher Barrella] scored first on the chief’s civil service exam, while Bermudez placed third, and had spent more years as a lieutenant, held a law degree and a master’s degree in public administration, and had undergone special training at the FBI academy. By comparison, Bermudez only held a high school diploma.” (So comically mismatched, demonstrating that our open-borders overlords no longer think it is necessary to even put up the pretense of being fair in their gleeful headlong dispossession of Whites.)

Evidence of Reverse Discrimination Was So ‘Overwhelming’ That a Jury Awarded the Victim More Than $1 Million

A New York police officer was awarded $1.35 million dollars this week after he successfully sued the village of Freeport, alleging he was passed over for a promotion because of his race.

A Long Island jury sided with Lt. Christopher Barrella after he claimed that then-Mayor Andrew Hardwick overlooked him to become chief of police so that he could name a Hispanic candidate to the position instead.

“I am very gratified that the jury ruled that I deserved to be chief of police. Throughout this entire process, I have tried to maintain a positive attitude and do my best for the department and the village of Freeport and will continue to do so,” Barrella said in a statement.  “It has been a long and trying process, but I always had faith that if we could present our case to a jury of my peers they would see that I was discriminated against.” . . .
