Former Officer Cedric Coleman filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against the Irondale Police Department after resigning in 2014. Coleman alleged that he received a threatening photo posted to his locker depicting a black man in chains and a text message containing a racial slur. Despite reporting these incidents to his supervisors, no disciplinary actions were taken against the responsible parties. Coleman sought to hold the city and the police department accountable for the hostile work environment and lack of response to the reported discrimination.
