Perry Speelman, Denver Police Officer Involved In Two Racial Profiling Suits, Could Cost City $24k

DENVER -- The Denver City Council will decide Monday night whether to pay a $24,000 racial profiling settlement that involves a police sergeant who was previously involved in a $75,000 racial profiling settlement in 2004.

During the 2004 racial profiling lawsuit, attorneys found then-police Officer Perry Speelman was the subject of 17 internal affairs investigations involving complaints of "unnecessary force" and "discourtesy" over the prior 10 years, according to the current lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union.
