Marc Reid – Joliet Police Department

Written by CBKN76

Marc Reid, who was promoted to deputy chief in 2018, has been accused in lawsuits of targeting Black officers based on their race. Allegations include resistance to affirmative action, use of ethnic slurs, and discriminatory promotional practices. These actions have reportedly humiliated and held back minority officers in their careers. Despite these serious allegations, Reid received a promotion within the department.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
