White trooper on Shapiro’s security detail sues state police, claiming racial discrimination

A state trooper who was a member of Gov. Josh Shapiro’s security detail is suing his employer in federal court, claiming diversity initiatives resulted in him being removed and replaced by less-qualified minority troopers. Joshua Mack, a corporal with the state police who spent 14 years on the detail, said his removal from the position in March followed comments from his supervisors discussing the need to hire more minorities to the detail.
