Riverside PD Fires Disabled Vets, Sparks Discrimination Lawsuit
Riverside Police Department plans to terminate three patrol officers who hold 100% disability ratings from the VA, making them eligible for special license plates. The officers, who joined the department in 2019 after military service, were called to headquarters and received discipline notices, putting them on paid leave. A lawsuit accuses the department of discrimination, arguing that the VA certification stands regardless of current job status. The chief wont explain the termination publicly, expecting new details at upcoming Skelly hearings. The case highlights confusion over veteran benefits and police standards.
