Suit Says Police Chief Forced Religion On Officers

The Advocate reports on a federal court lawsuit filed last week against the Port Allen, Louisiana Police Department::
A second former Port Allen police officer has filed a lawsuit alleging Police Chief Esdron Brown consistently forced his religion on his officer corps through mandatory meetings, and further claimed the chief used God's will as reasoning for unjust promotions.
Robert Cannon Jr.,... , filed a federal civil rights case ... alleging the chief's repeated mention of religion and religious-focused meetings created a hostile work environment.
