A Black firefighter in upstate New York says a fire captain brought him and other firefighters to a racist party that included fried chicken buckets and small bottles of cognac.
Jerrod Jones, a 14-year veteran of the Rochester Fire Department, is seeking $4 million in damages after Captain Jeffrey Krywy took him and three other firefighters to the private party last month during their shifts, the Democrat & Chronicle reported.
“It cut me very deeply; I’m sorry I even have to be here today,” Jones said. “But as terrible as I’m feeling, I’m glad it happened to me and not someone who could be easily intimidated.”A Black firefighter in upstate New York says a fire captain brought him and other firefighters to a racist party that included fried chicken buckets and small bottles of cognac.
