Sergeant McRay, an African-American officer, was terminated in 2017 for allegedly violating department rules by associating with his son, a convicted felon. McRay filed a civil rights lawsuit claiming racial discrimination and violation of his parental rights. In 2018, a federal court vacated the termination, finding the charges against him unsubstantiated.
