An NYPD detective faced daily acts of sexism and racism, including being called “a savage’’ — and was bizarrely taunted with the color green because she got into a dispute with an Irish higher-up, a lawsuit says.
NYC mom recalls horrifying moment knife-wielding creep tried to kidnap her 2-year-old daughter: ‘That’s my baby!’ Then after she made detective in October 2023, she was repeatedly forced to work the early morning detail, despite having been previously given an accommodation to take her kids to school, the suit says.
Legarge tried to file a complaint and reached out to her union delegate, but that just kicked off what became a daily deluge of racist and sexist torment toward her, she said.When a person made a horrifically racist phone call to the department about inserting metal rods into black women, the sergeant laughed, court papers claim.The next day, a racist image depicting a New York Knicks player was hung up in the precinct, the suit says.
She ended up hospitalized for over a week after a psychiatric break last month over the torture and remains on leave, her suit says.“The NYPD has consistently ignored complaints from officers who report discrimination, enabling a retaliatory culture to thrive unchecked,” her lawyer, John Scola, told The Post.
