State Police trooper who cried foul over brutality incidents is notified he'll be fired
It appears that Carl Cavalier’s days as a Louisiana State trooper are numbered.
After going public with allegations of brutality and racism against fellow troopers amid a federal investigation into a series of violent arrests, the self-styled whistleblower received notice this week that he is being fired.
Cavalier, 33, received a letter from State Police Superintendent Lamar Davis that he was found in violation of department policy for speaking out about the death of Ronald Greene during a brutal arrest by troopers.
Cavalier had given interviews to WWL-TV, as well as WBRZ-TV in Baton Rouge and WBOK-AM in New Orleans, expressing disappointment that it took body camera video leaked to the media before any disciplinary action was taken against troopers involved in Greene’s death and other violent arrests.
The notice of termination comes as Cavalier serves a five-week unpaid suspension for publishing a book under a pseudonym that details misgivings of being an African-American officer in a sometimes hostile racial environment. Cavalier’s firing is expected to become effective in 45 days.
