A San Diego police captain who alleges he was discriminated against by the police department both due to his race and his refusal to falsify traffic collision reports, including one concerning the police chief's son, announced Friday that he will be filing a lawsuit against the department.
Capt. Alberto Leos says he has applied for executive positions within the department on six separate occasions, but has repeatedly been rejected and passed over for less experienced white officers.
A third suspect an 18-year-old man was behind bars Tuesday for allegedly taking part in an assault that left a septuagenarian fatally wounded six weeks ago at a Logan Heights trolley station.
