> It’s a bona fide occupational qualification, it’s completely legal under the Civil Rights Act and works the same way if for example Hollywood wants to hire a black actor or a Las Vegas club wants to hire female dancers.
I think you've misunderstood. It's clear from the article that the "Black squad" was so named because it specialised in investigating suspects who were Black, not because the officers in it were themselves Black.
I imagine the officers best at investigating black crime would either be black or have good contacts within that community.
Or be racist

In this case the article says that the former member of the squad, Kinch, described himself in a Facebook post as being White.
