City probe finds Washington state ex-NAACP official violated ethics rules

(Reuters) - Former Washington state NAACP leader Rachel Dolezal, who drew national attention after being accused of lying about her racial background, has violated ethics rules while heading a police oversight commission, a senior city official said on Wednesday.

Investigators hired by the city of Spokane to probe a whistleblower complaint found Dolezal had publicly named citizens who made complaints against police officers, in violation of confidentiality rules, City Council President Ben Stuckart said.

"There were multiple occasions at open public meetings, that were recorded, where names of complainants were discussed in the open and they should have been confidential," Stuckart said, calling on her to resign from the commission.

Dolezal, 37, resigned this week as president of the Spokane chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a leading civil rights organization, amid reports she was falsely claiming to be African-American.

"Investigators hired by the city of Spokane to probe a whistleblower complaint found Dolezal had publicly named citizens who made complaints against police officers, in violation of confidentiality rules, City Council President Ben Stuckart said."

"In addition to the confidentiality issues, the probe found Dolezal engaged in workplace harassment as head of the Office of Police Ombudsman Commission, Stuckart said, without elaborating."

The shit she has done just keeps showing up. She's a fraud.

She obviously needs help, but exposing identities of people who complained about police...come on, that could put someone in harm's way.

Each piece that comes out just makes it worse than it was. This was all about her. She did not care who sh hurt, so long as she was enjoying putting on her show. She missed her calling, she shoulda been on stage.

People could have been seriously hurt by that - naming people who had filed complaints about police in public.

She is responsible for her lies, she is responsible for her predicament, nobody else.

testified to the significant abuse. I linked to studies showing that child abuse is undereported. I'm putting you on ignore, so there's no point continuing to follow me around to rehash what was already discussed. Continue to not believe her and her adopted sister, I don't care.
