QuoteMichigan police officer Cleon Brown is suing his chief and the city after a chain of events that began when he took a genetic test through Ancestry.com in December and was surprised to learn he could trace 18 percent of his DNA to regions in Africa.
Brown was also surprised by how his fellow officers in the Hastings Police Department reacted to the news.
He said the police chief called him ?Kunte,? after the character in Alex Haley?s novel ?Roots: The Saga of an American Family,? while other officers whispered ?Black lives matter? when they walked past, according to MLive.com.
Even the mayor, who has since retired, made cracks, according to Brown?s attorney, Karie Boylan, who has filed a lawsuit on Brown?s behalf.
?There was an instance where my client was talking to the mayor, and the mayor ― upon learning that my client was 18 percent African-American ― proceeded to tell him a racist joke? using a racial slur, she told CBS Detroit.
Brown said the Christmas tree in the police department lobby was decorated with Santa figurines named after each officer on the force. Brown?s Santa was black with ?18 percent? written on the beard, according to WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids.
Brown has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Hastings, the town?s police chief, its deputy chief, a sergeant and the city manager.
