Everybody’s had a bad boss or two in their careers, but the former chief of a Northeast Ohio police department might take the cake for having an extra-racist sense of humor and childish tendencies.
A Hispanic cop in the Sheffield Lake Division of Police has filed an employment discrimination complaint alleging that the department’s ex-chief, Anthony Camp, tormented him over his ethnicity and religion. Sheffield Lake, a tiny town on the shore of Lake Erie about a half hour west of Cleveland, is the same place where last year the former police chief was caught on camera leaving a racist note for a Black officer. Campo’s defense in that incident was that he was only joking around with a co-worker, but the humor in it was lost on the town’s mayor, who snatched Campo’s badge, gun and cop car and told him to get to steppin’.
Now, we wonder how funny Campo thinks his alleged harassment of Officer Audali J. Torres was over the years. Torres filed a complaint with the Ohio Civil Rights Commission charges that his former boss “constantly harassed me about my religion and ethnicity.” That included allegedly creating racist and religiously bigoted images featuring Torres’ face on a jar of salsa, his head atop the body of a priest and captioning an actual picture taken of him with two kids during a mission trip to El Salvador with “a thought bubble implying that I was a pedophile,” according to the filing.
