Facing growing
criticism, Acting Mayor Kim Janey on Thursday directed Bostonâs legal team to reverse course on a discrimination lawsuit filed by a group of Black police sergeants
and resolve the matter.
The case has dragged on for almost a decade since the sergeants
filed suit in 2012 over the departmentâs lieutenants exam, alleging promotions predicated on the exam were discriminatory.
âBlack officers in the Boston Police Department deserve a fair shot at promotions,â Janey said
