Maryland park police officers said they wanted Black Lives Matter protesters dead, according to lawsuit
CNN
A group of police officers in Montgomery County, Maryland, are being accused of repeatedly making hateful comments against people of color in a group text message chain -- including that they hoped Black Lives Matter protesters would die.
One of their colleagues, Mark Miles, filed a lawsuit this week claiming his supervisor at the Maryland-National Capital Park Police and other officers sent the text messages in a chain meant to discuss work assignments. They also "mocked, demeaned, ostracized and humiliated" him for being Black, according to the lawsuit.
Miles' unit patrolled parks, primarily those in Montgomery County.
