Female Phila. officer files complaint over hair color
A female African American officer filed a complaint Wednesday with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission, saying her captain had ordered her to change her hair color, which he said was purple.
When Officer Renee Norman refused, she twice was sent home, forcing her to miss her shift. She maintained the color was red.
"I just never felt so embarrassed in my life," Norman said.
"I thought he was joking," she said. "I was like, 'Stop playing me.' "
