All is not well among the Latino police officers in the host city for the Democratic National Convention. 16 Latino officers have filed a federal class-action discrimination lawsuit against the Denver Police Department and City and County of Denver.

The complaint alleges discrimination in recruitment, hiring, promotions and discipline, said Det. Rufino Trujillo, president of the National Latino Peace Officers Association in Denver.
Martinez said the suit took over two years to file because the EEOC was conducting an investigation in order to issue a right to sue letter. He said the commission finally issued the letter recently, allowing the lawsuit to move forward.
