Cue Twilight Zone Music...

"A BLACK police bodyguard who protected the Duchess of Cornwall has won $70,000 compensation after suing Scotland Yard for "over-promoting" him because of political correctness.

Sgt Leslie Turner -- the first black personal protection officer to guard the royal family -- will receive the "racial discrimination" payout after reaching an out-of-court settlement with London's Metropolitan Police.

His representatives argued he landed the prestigious job as Camilla's bodyguard only because he was black.
It was claimed that as a result of being over-promoted and not receiving proper training and support, Sgt Turner made mistakes which led to him being re-assigned."

So lemme see if I can get this straight. He's pissed because since they promoted him because he was black he got the chance to prove how dumb he was then got demoted. To a position he'd have anyway were it not for the fact that they promoted him.

Okay.
