First woman to make Virginia Beach's Police Department's SWAT sued the department for millions of dollars.. Now the officers named in the suit are suing the city, maintaining that the "discrimination" she faced, was merely due to her inability to perform her duties.

So the most intensive and rigorous set of the police force is going to have higher physical standards and that is somehow discriminatory?

Man we should really lower the standards for the people who are facing the most dangerous situations. We have to get our quota number.

"75. Defendants' discipline and suspension of Plaintiffs was in violation of established public policy of Virginia, meaning the policy underlying existing laws designed to protect the property rights, personal freedoms, health, safety, or welfare of the people in general."

i.e., "She gets special rules because she's a woman."

Mix in some Due Process violations, and being punished for exercising free speech and it sure sounds an awful lot like college kangaroo courts.
