Black Bridgeport PD captain files human rights suit over racist rant

BRIDGEPORT — Police Capt. Roderick Porter, until recently Bridgeport’s highest ranking black officer and a recent finalist for chief, has filed a complaint with the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities over a colleague’s racist rants. More specifically, Porter has challenged the city’s handling last year of comments by white Capt. Mark Straubel, a close aide of Police Chief Armando Perez, aimed at black officers in general and Porter in particular. Straubel retired Aug. 13 amid the controversy.
