Vance Bithell – Washington City Department of Public Safety

Written by CBKN76

Sergeant Vance Bithell participated in racially insensitive behavior towards Officer Anthony Brazzle between 2006 and 2008. He called Mr. Brazzle ‘brotha’ and, during a safety presentation, joked about ‘Rodney King-ing’ Mr. Brazzle, referencing the infamous police beating. These actions were part of a broader pattern of racial harassment that led Mr. Brazzle to file a lawsuit against Washington City in 2009. The case, Brazzle v. Washington City, was documented in 2013.
