Excerpts :
" You have,basically, a renegade police department up here. that's been operating under the
protection of Congress", Charles J. Ware, the attorney who first represented the U.S. Capitol Black
Police Association, said at the time the suit was announced.

" The Capitol police force has proven over and over that it is capable of intimidation and reprisal,
That's part of our complaint," said Attorney Charles Ware. " That's part of the hostile work environment that has persisted in the Capitol Police Department that has persisted forever, going back to the first time that the first Black person became a police officer. To the extent that there is reprisal and intimidation, they only serve to make our case. We expect that. That's what we're suing for. that's part of the problem."

" With little or no positive and unbiased recruitment of African American males and females and
other minorities. the Capitol Police will continue to be a modern-daya version of a 19th Century Southern Plantation in law enforcement," Attorney Charles Ware wrote in his original 2001 47-page Black Capitol Police complaint. The horror-story-laden $ 100,000,000.00 lawsuir includes accounts from long-time veteran officers.
