Follow on Google News | Stop Discrimination by Blacks in San Francisco JailsOn October 10, 2008, six (6) Asian Pacific Americans (“APA”) Counselors or Juvenile Detention Officers in JJC/JH of CCSF’s Juvenile Probation Department consisting of one (1) Japanese American, one (1) Asian Indian female, one (1) Samoan American female and three (3) Chinese Americans. They filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for discrimination against CCSF and its supervisors especially African American (“AA”) for various Civil Rights violations including, but not limited to, Causes of Action for conduct constituting “Profiling” In CCSF-JH history, there have been almost no APA promotions into legitimate permanent supervisor positions for some sixty (60) years. As a result, Plaintiffs seek “equal treatment and opportunity of all races in the workplace” especially within law enforcement. This lawsuit was dismissed in U.S. District Court in 2012 and CCSF is currently garnishing the wages of an estimated $20,000 from the APA Plaintiffs for costs. The case is appealed to the United States Supreme Court. Currently, San Francisco’s AA population consists of 6%; CA statewide of 7%. However, in CCSF JH, the majority of the Counselors or Detention Officers and 90% of Supervisors are AA. San Francisco might be the only major US city over represented or dominated by AA in Detention or Correctional facilities positions. Plaintiffs are now asking for public support via a “Raise Any Dollar Campaign” to retain competent counsels and cover costs appealing to the United States Supreme Court to “Stop the Discrimination by African Americans and Provide Equal Opportunity of all Races in Law Enforcement Jobs.” [Source: U.S. District Court of Northern California #cv08-04702 PJH, 9th Circuit Court of Appeal #12-16349, U.S. Supreme Court #14-1231] Support the Cause by donate thru: GoFundMe.com/ Title:“Stop Discrimination by Blacks in CA” End
