(CNN) -- Officers involved in a 2012 shooting in Cleveland are suing the city and police officials, alleging racial discrimination.
The plaintiffs in the federal suit are not African American. They claim the defendants have a pattern of treating non-African American officers harsher than African American officers, when it comes to officer-involved shootings of African Americans.
The incident cited in the suit began when officers saw a car speeding and heard what they thought was a gunshot directed towards them.
It involved a nearly 25-minute chase and ended in a hail of 137 bullets, killing two people. Both were African American.
No weapon was ever found in the car.

What next? Are the wolves going to sue the hens they eat for not being delicious enough???
