About this episode
The episode discusses Troy Doyle's lawsuit against the St. Louis County Police Department and other ongoing legal issues involving the city's police and school systems.
Nearly six years have passed since Troy Doyle sued the St. Louis County Police Department over what he alleges was a broken promise to promote him to police chief. After multiple delays, the case has cost the county more than $900,000. Attorneys Dave Roland, Arindam Kar and Jenny Woulfe discuss the employment discrimination case in this month’s Legal Roundtable alongside other notable, ongoing lawsuits against the City of St. Louis’ police department and school system. They also react to news of the lawsuit filed by the influencer “The Woke Ginger,” who alleges his employer violated an obscure Missouri law that prohibits employers from terminating people for their political beliefs.
