In a Friday, Dec. 22, 2017 photo, Rochelle Bilal, president of the Guardian Civic League and attorney Brian R. Mildenberg pose for a photograph in Philadelphia. Officers in the Philadelphia Police Department’s narcotics unit have sued their bosses for allegedly ordering them to lie on arrest paperwork about their informants to “make the drugs go away,” a practice that experts say raises the possibility of corruption and illegitimate prosecutions. Mildenberg is representing the group of African-American plaintiffs that include a staff inspector, a lieutenant and a captain who all work in the narcotics bureau and say they were racially discriminated against for refusing to carry out the request.
