CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) – A Long Island police lieutenant has been awarded $1.35 million in his racial discrimination lawsuit against the village of Freeport.
Lt. Christopher Barrella, who is white, had accused the village of awarding the police chief’s job to a Hispanic officer with few qualifications and a lower test score.
Following the federal jury’s decision Thursday, Barrella described the process as trying but said he always had faith in the jury system.
“It’s really a good feeling to be validated, and I am incredibly appreciative that the jury saw it my way,” Barrella told 1010 WINS’ Mona Rivera.
The former mayor, Andrew Hardwick, was a defendant in the case but could not be reached for comment. He was the village’s first black mayor.
Barrella had charged that Hardwick terminated and demoted qualified, experienced non-Hispanic whites. Barrella charged that Hardwick illegaly chose Miguel Bermudez for the job of police chief.
The current Freeport Mayor Robert Kennedy, who is white, said the jury got it wrong.
“I have the utmost confidence in Chief Bermudez, who’s probably one of the finest chiefs of Freeport village that we’ve ever had,” Kennedy told Rivera.
The jury award includes $200,000 in punitive damages.

It's funny how all this political correctness goes out the door real when dollar bills are at stake.
Hit them a few more time for a million plus dollars and shit will get straightened out real quick.
As far as color goes Green trumps all.

A white man that wants a job in a mostly non-white town in Long Island!! I would've given it to him immediately. What the fuck is wrong with this black mayor?
99.99999% of the times, in all these towns with severe white flight "issues," the first indication that a town is about to go non-white is the appointment of non-whites to positions of power.
In this case the white guy wants the job back!!
Next stop is marrying a black woman and making lots of babies.

Not sticking around when everything is going to hell is racist though.
