04/18/2009: "Jury gives $300,000 to former UTC officer who was racially abused at work"

A Hamilton County jury has awarded $300,000 to a white former UTC police officer who claims he was fired after complaining about reverse racism and a culture of protecting black employees that exists in the school's police department.

Mr. Shelton's former supervisor, Cpl. Rebecca Tolbert, who is black, admitted on the witness stand that "black people don't like white people."

"It’s like I told you, Sean. You're not a protected class of citizen," Paul Dodds, the former UTC head sergeant, told Mr. Shelton during a recorded conversation played for the jury. "Wake up, face it. They can call us whatever they want, OK? We're not protected, they are."

[ Only the victim has lost his job, the other people mentioned here continue in employment. ]
