Lawsuit: Ex-La Marque cop was fired for complaining about coworker's Blacks killing Blacks remark
A former La Marque police officer says she was wrongfully terminated after she complained to supervisors about a white officer who made racist remarks, including one about Blacks killing Blacks, according to a federal lawsuit in Houston.
Jackson was the only Black officer employed by the department at the time she was fired, according to a court document. She was terminated two months after she made the complaint to former Chief of Police Kirk Jackson, Corporal Kenneth Hernandez and Sergeant Geoffrey Price, among other supervisors. Jackson's attorney calls the holding cell infraction “absurdly menial” considering it was never confirmed who urinated in the cell and no inmates reported injuries or made complaints. The department's response was"excessive and hostile," the suit says. Jackson was questioned over a three-day period.
