MINNEAPOLIS A former senior Minneapolis police official who was stripped of his rank after publicly questioning the Police Department s hiring practices has sued the city, alleging that the move was part of a pattern of discrimination he endured as an outspoken Black officer pushing for change within the mostly white department.
Art Knight, who dropped from the rank of deputy chief to lieutenant, contends in the lawsuit that he was demoted as retaliation after he continued to tell the truth about hiring and recruitment policies that have a disparate impact on minorities who want to become police officers.
