There are some good cops, but this is what happens to them and it's forked up...
“This isn't right,” Cavalier said. “You guys shouldn't be awarded a pat on the back for your silence.”
Cavalier decided not to remain silent.
Going against department policy, the trooper did an interview with WBRZ in Baton Rouge in June. For that, he said he received a warning letter. Then in July, he appeared on the New Orleans radio station WBOK.
In one portion of the hour-long radio segment, host Sally-Ann Roberts asked him, “Is there something in the atmosphere of the State Police Department that needs to be corrected?”
“Yeah, there's a toxic brotherhood,” Cavalier answers “I don't know if I should call it a brotherhood, but it's a toxic brotherhood bleeding blue.”
On Aug. 2, shortly after his radio appearance, Cavalier was placed on paid administrative leave. This disciplinary letter he received outlines that the trooper is being investigated for potential violations of loyalty, making public statements and not following orders.
Cavalier is now concerned that his role as a whistle-blower will cost him his career.
State Police whistleblower suspended while trooper involved in alleged cover up remain on the job
“There are killers and there are people who are OK with the killers being on the job. And that's the people who are a part of the cover-up.”
