Wow, that sure is a lot of money for being asked to do a thing.
A St. Louis County police sergeant who claimed he was told to “tone down his gayness” if he wanted to be promoted has reportedly been awarded nearly $19 million.
Sgt. Keith Wildhaber filed a discrimination suit against the police department in 2017, claiming that he was passed over for promotions because he is gay.
A jury on Friday awarded $1.9 million in actual damages and $10 million in punitive damages for discrimination, and $990,000 in actual damages and $7 million in punitive damages for retaliation after a weeklong trial, NBC affiliate KSDK of St. Louis reported.
Wildhaber joined the department in 1994. He previously served four years in the armed forces.
“We wanted to send a message,” the jury foreman, who was not identified, told reporters, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper. “If you discriminate, you are going to pay a big price. … You can’t defend the indefensible.”
County Counselor Beth Orwick told the newspaper Friday that the county was exploring its legal options.
“We are ecstatic for our client,” lawyers for Wildhaber said after the jury’s decision, which they called a “historic verdict,” according to KSDK.
“His bravery and courage in standing up for what is right should be an inspiration for employees everywhere. Justice was served in this trial, and no client could be more deserving than Keith. The jury acted as the conscience of the community and spoke loud and clear in its verdict,” his attorneys said in the statement.
Leadership changes would be coming to the county police department as a result of the verdict, St. Louis County Executive Sam Page said Sunday, according to the station. He said in a statement on Twitter that those changes will include the appointment of new members to the police board, which oversees the police chief.
This is taxpayer money being transferred to this faggot.
Enough money for 25 teenagers to retire in South America.
Because he was asked to do a thing.
So much for the whole “it’s their own business what they do in their own bedrooms” bit, huh?
I can’t believe boomers fell for that shit, man.
