The Gateway Pundit reported in October that Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge was placed on paid administrative leave after she was sued for anti-white bias.
WLWT reported at the time that City Manager Sheryl Long noted, “The City continues to face serious public safety challenges that underscore the need for stability at the command level.”
“Therefore, I’ve named Assistant Chief Adam Hennie as Interim Police Chief. Our focus remains on maintaining stability within the department and ensuring the highest standards of service to our residents. I have full confidence in Interim Chief Hennie and the department’s command staff to continue their dedicated work at this time.”
The civil rights lawsuit, filed by four veteran members of the Cincinnati Police Department, alleged workplace discrimination against the city and Police Chief Theetge.
The lawsuit alleges, according to WXIX, “The City and Chief Theetge have actively and systemically undertaken efforts to promote, advance, and make promotion and assignment decisions that are preferable to women and minorities, and to the exclusion of white men, including through hiring, diversity initiatives, outreach programs, promotional processes, and other steps that demonstrate both a systemic practice of discrimination against white males, and that there are background circumstances to support the suspicion that the defendant is that unusual employer who discriminates against the majority.”
“Plaintiffs, who are all white males, applied for, and did not receive those positions. Furthermore, as respects the preferential assignments, each of the Plaintiffs were qualified for those positions.”
“And similarly situated persons received those preferential assignments on the basis of race and/or sex. Plaintiffs were treated differently than similarly situated employees of a different race and/or sex.”
On Friday, Fox News reported that City Manager Sheryl Long announced Theetge’s termination.
