For the court's ease of access, here is the statement of claim, I will have the clerk update the post as soon as I can, then I will remove this post.
Mr. Paul Issier went to BCSO south on May 4th at approximately 00:30 GMT+2 to apply for a job. While Mr. Issier was sitting outside on the front steps by the ‘EU shift hiring’ sign, Undersheriff Walker approached Paul. Mr. Issier claims the encounter was as follows. After some short conversation where Paul declared his interest in a job, Ms. Walker began to interview Mr. Issier and ask him some questions. These questions by Ms. Walker included: “Do you want children?”; saying there “are already 2 female French officers in the BCSO” and that “(she) doesn’t think there is capacity to have anymore French officers.”; saying that “If (Mr. Issier) were to have any chance of getting hired, (Mr. Issier) would need to commit to getting a vasectomy.” so “(Mr. Issier) wouldn’t reproduce with the other French deputies and make more French people.”. Ms. Walker also asked Mr. Issier “Why do you sound like that? I can’t understand anything you’re saying.”. During this conversation, Ms. Orabelle Winchester - who was not a deputy at the time, was hired later, and is now no longer a deputy – approached Mr. Issier and Ms. Walker. Ms. Winchester after hearing part of the conversation asked, “I do not speak French, does that make my chances of getting hired higher?”, to which Ms. Walker responded “Yes, it does.”. These statements demonstrate a clear case of employment discrimination of Mr. Issier based on his linguistic group and national origin. This is not only a clear violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but also a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment since Ms. Walker is acting as a member of the government in her discrimination. This has also led to severe emotional distress for Mr. Issier.
