A Black police officer subject to apparent racist harassment by his former police chief has filed an employment discrimination charge, asking the Ohio Civil Rights Commission to conduct a full investigation.

Officer Keith Pool of the Sheffield Lake Police Department is also petitioning a court to order the department to turn over records from the police chief's computer. Pool, 57, made his first public statement Thursday since video of the apparent harassment surfaced in July. Chief Anthony Campo left the force after video emerged showing him putting a"Ku Klux Klan" label on Pool's raincoat while Pool wasn't looking.

Concurrent with his public appearance, attorneys for Pool announced two legal filings Thursday afternoon. The first, a workplace discrimination charge filed with Ohio's Civil Rights Commission, alleges that Campo interfered with Pool's hiring, using the n-word to refer to him in the process. The charge of discrimination alleges that after Pool's hiring, Campo created multiple images directed at Pool that played on racial stereotypes.
