A longtime veteran of the Kansas City, Missouri, police department has filed a lawsuit against the department, alleging that he was required to meet illegal "ticket quotas" or face demotion.
Edward Williams, who has worked at the Kansas City Police Department (KCPD) for over two decades, filed a lawsuit against the department last month. In his complaint, Williams alleges that the department set illegal "ticket quotas" for its officers and punished those who failed to meet the required number of traffic stops and tickets. Williams also alleges that several officers made racist comments and that Williams was punished for reporting these incidents.
