PLAINFIELD, Ind. — A Plainfield police officer is on administrative leave after complaints were filed for her comments during training.
WISHTV I-Team 8 used Indiana’s public access laws to retain video of the Plainfield Police Department’s transgender awareness training that occurred in November.
After a question during the training, Capt. Carri Weber says he doesn’t understand because of “white male privilege.”
(The video shows a female police officer conducting the training, but does not show Weber.)
