The Baton Rouge Police Department faces scrutiny as lawsuits alleged the officers tortured detainees in an unmarked police facility. According to the federal lawsuit, detainees were interrogated, beaten and strip searched. Mayor Sharon Broome has since shut down the off-site warehouse.

#BatonRouge #Police #Lawsuit
Harris county houston does this too
That’s terrifying. It’s completely inconspicuous, I can imagine a few places not far from me that could serve as those.
Houston has it bad ! I’m shocked their departments aren’t under investigation. They are ruthless!
This country needs to be re-worked
We have a plan for that beginning on *Jan 20th 2025 @ 12:01 PM* you are either with us or against us. it’s simply just a choice
@acgillespie Sounds like a terrorristic threat. U gonna do what those trump supporters did with the capitol riots?
Just imagine how many others there are out there…
Just imagine how crime would be different if we allowed it. No better person than police to know what’s needed. You have liberal judges weeks and months later from a court house free these criminals….police are on the ground smelling this stuff from the housing, clothes and food.
Cops are violent criminals.
CIA program black box
And yet Russia and Iran won in Syria/Iraq.
Pathetic.
How many of these places exist in America? Put all officers involved strait in prison ASAP😢
A firing squad would be more suitable
Every Hospital in the USA has a room for matters such a this. It’s amazing what people never remember while under sedation
@acgillespie stay on the meds bud 👌
@mwmnmwm I been clean n sober now for years. No toxins for me
That strip search policy is wildly unconstitutional. And what should be illegal is any off site location for bringing detainees. If you can’t do it in a police station, you can’t do it. We need a full FBI investigation into the entire police dept.
Do you really think that a police department that cared even a little tiny bit about your fourth amendment 5th amendment rights or any of your constitutional rights would build a separate warehouse where they can just take folks to talk?
This is the kind of thing that makes me wonder why people immediately think it’s bad when a cop is killed.
Don’t cry because you were caught and sent to prison
@Diego Flores Never was, slanderer
Exactly 💯
@Diego Flores Lick their boots all you want, they’ll still get you in the end. Back the blue until it happens to you.
Because noone likes death, and usually its cuz the cop was killed by a psycho.
Demand the immediate resignation of both the chief and captain. If they are that unaware of what’s going on under them they are incompetent. If they were aware, they are complicit and need to be charged and named in the suit.
Didn’t work. Louisiana has some of the highest crime and violence rates in the country
Yet they focus on drug use; a victimless crime. 💁
We like to call them “Katrina refugees.”
Local leaders knew of this theres no way they didn’t.
Get rid of those brave names
Punishment is for a Jury to decide not Law Enforcement.
Policy is not Law and will never extend to permit Cruel and Unusual Punishment! Or Unreasonable Search and Seizure.
These are Constitutional Rights. And are not subject to any Government Agency or “policy” in any way.
“Stop and Strip!” 🐷 just coming up with ANYTHING to break the law and torment us now! Will the $90MILLION “Cop City” fix this problem also?🙄
Ikr. They just love owning ppl.
I swear they’re absolute sc*m!
I for some reason don’t see a problem with this… Too much crime in this country. Law abiding citizens are angry
Move to Russia.
@Johnny SundayExactly.
@C Robinson No thanks, I like being in the US
Grow a brain ffs.
Because it starts with them Soon they will come for u. The Government should ALWAYS follow it’s own rules, else how can u expect Citizens to follow them? And why are we angry about victimless crimes? Drug and other vice crimes are easy to pad cops’ numbers but don’t protect law abiding Citizens.
Wow🇺🇸sick
First of all, he should have nothing off site of the jail
Yet, you still have people out here believing that cops are special! They are thugs and gangs criminals!
This is why we need people with military experience to deal with these dirty cops!
I don’t need military experience to deal with a bad cop.
What makes you think the military is any better?
When your greatest demise is your own people…
I’m sure the right-wing Patriot constitutionalists will be angry about this.
No corruption here in America’s police departments. Nothing to see here. Might as well be in Irag, Iran, or Russia. The cloak is coming off America ‘s civil rights and the beacon of hope for all
Cops in third world countries are actually better and more humane than the dirty crooked stinky cops we have over here.
I wonder if they were filming the abuse and strip searches for the Dark web or other illicit activity?
Worthless cops
Brave? What a Joke.
Some black cops be worse than the non black
T*ken cops r the absolute werst
thats why boosie left
OUTRAGEOUS!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬👺 Reminds me a video I saw of a woman being stripped searched by a male cop on the side of a road while cars are going by.
The Brave Cave?
It’s really annoying when there’s stuff like this happening all the time and ppl will still come in and say “just comply” or something stupid like that.
Why they ✊🏾 always attacking each other
They are all just criminals so what is the problem? police aren’t doing this to just anyone who isn’t a known criminal
@acgillespie they strip searched a woman and stuck flashlight in her holes and found nothing, and that’s ok with you?
@Hadley’s Life Absolutely. this females are evil and very dangerous
Just comply
A DANGEROUS HILLBILLY/HICK STATE THAT SHOULD HAVE A HIGHWAY BYPASS AROUND THIS STATE TO PROTECT THE UNWARY DRIVING THROUGH THIS STATE FOR PUBLIC SAFETY. AHAHAHA AHAHAHA LOL
Absolute power (or the perception) corrupts absolutely.
vice versa. corrupts seek power
A lot of these pigs need to go to jail.
19 years of torture. Yeah, there are going to be more cases.
They know that they are dirty! You can tell by how fast they shut the program down.
So sick of this horrible behavior
💯
I’m done with 🐷🐷🐷
Yea, Imagine how our Police must feel everyday?
If you just listen to police and do what they tell you, then you dont have to fear paramilitary black-sights with torture chambers…i mean come on ppl….#ThinBlueLine
It’s obvious this job attracts many sociopaths. Real psychological evaluation should be apart of the hiring process
Police recruit training is mostly about “commanderie” how to work together and protect your fellow officers. The military does the same. They are brainwashed in their training to believe they do no wrong and that they are the saviors of society because this is Star Wars and they are the clones.
Yes, that is well known. The psychological eval tries to weed out those applicants but many slip thru.
There is no way the chief and captain did not know about that warehouse for the Brave Unit. That would cost something to keep up and running. Especially with security cameras and lights.
A torture chamber……. in America….. a torture chamber.
@Troy J Not unconstitutional, so you clearly dont even know your own constitution, yet your acting like u do.
@Noone important LOL, OK…. I see you are not a serious person.
You are one of those people who do not know anything past the *2nd Amendment.*
You need to make it all the way to the *4th Amendment* to know police cannot detain citizens in a random, empty warehouse, with no warrant.
_”Unlawful police detention is when law enforcement, without legal justification, restricts your freedom to leave. Doing so constitutes a civil rights violation based on the _*_Fourth Amendment.”_*
SOURCE: SCLG CRIMINAL DEFENSE DIVISION – online
What those police are doing there is something you only see in “3rd-world” dictatorships.
Whatever is my right as a man is also the right of another; and it becomes my duty to guarantee as well as to possess.
*-Thomas Paine, The Rights of Man*
(American Founding Father, political activist, philosopher, political theorist, and revolutionary)
…..that is not what America should look like.
@Troy J Without legal justification. That can mean literally anything. If they THINK you either did, or are about to do something bad, can be enough for them to do it. Its a simple google search to prove you wrong buddy.
@Troy J The end bs that you put there, about how my rights are the same as any other? Not true. Im pretty sure the president gets more rights than your average citizen, same with cops and judges and whatever.
Yes, it’s called acute-on-chronic
America is Wonderful!
The police are feral animals. By me, they get treated like such. America isn’t aware of Americas jail circumstances. When I see them getting taken down it doesn’t bother me in the slightest. It’s good news.
Unacceptable.
Sick of these gross worthless cops everyone of em.
Our police are more alike with 3rd world corrupt law enforcement than we like to admit
How ironic that the cowards used the acronym BRAVE. Sickening.
Example after example of failed leadership and the insane psychopaths are wearing the badges. The only way this is going to stop is the police union is disbanded and all lawsuits are handled out of their pensions.
CHIEF SHOULD BE FIRED
get an asian instead
End Qualified immunity
🛑STOP🛑 Abu ghraib torture centers on US citizens in America 🇺🇲!
Anyone surprised…?
So the chief of police has no idea that the officers underneath him are taking people to a black site to torture and interrogate them and strip-search them? That’s the chief of police?
The worst part about your news reporting is how you’re just trying to pin it on the one bad officer what in reality it’s the whole department.
Agreed. Rotten to the core!
Egotistical CORRUPT cops are a disgrace to those who do so much good in our world. Weed out the garbage.
Hahahaha so no one knows what happens in facilities that their city/department uses on a regular basis. That is a very backwards, because claiming ignorance does not mean they are not guilty.
Never admit knowledge or fault to anything. #1 Rule everyone should know. The Truth is what’ll get ya all jacked up
Send more money 🤑 to Ukraine that will take care of this problem!
This is some sketchy $hit.
Brought to you by right wingers
Defund
Police don’t stop crime or reduce crime. At BEST they show up AFTER the crime and take a report. It’s rare they get to a crime in progress. If they do, it may not matter (Uvalde).
And they have a black chief so they can pretend this behavior is not race-based.
The USA is communist now, Biden is Communist.
i thought police were dictated by law to protect us
What ever gave you that idea? they protect the crooked leaders who pay them
who told you that
#TroyLawranceJunior of Baton Rouge…will get his day and the rest of the Racist S.O.Bs of the Baton Rouge Slave Patrol Department.
Close that place down Yesterday!! Fire those that allowed these unlawful practices and those that KNEW about these events and didn’t report them!! All these people were Complicit against the citizens of Baton Rouge and violated their civil rights and protections!
This is insane!
Technically it was a police facility, just an extention with less oversight.
The oversight is the issue of the situation, numerous cities have off site areas because of distance to the main department and Yes sometimes the off site is less formal so it can speed up a investigation process to determine if a individual needs further processing.
But the problem arises is when officers forget Professionalism and integrity then with the lack of oversight these things become a problem like with the incidents in the news story, probably a few bad characters causing issues for everyone.
Alright, that’s it, I’m done with 🐷🐷🐷 😂
🙋♂️
BRAVE unit …. these sounds like cowards.
Could we all at least agree that this part should be defunded?
At least they made use of a warehouse.
but maybe if we just give cops more guns and money they’ll just turn nice? right?
40% of law enforcement are at least moderately sociopathic
Personally I see no problems or issues here. good men just dealing with our country’s worthless P.O.S. is all
Until you end up in a Black site nude.
I am starting to think Iran and Russia are right about us.
This country is messed up.
Then move to iran/russia. At least here u can CRITISICE the country and not be killed for it. So its infinitely better than those places, and for thinking they are right makes u an unbelievably stupid person
It’s upsetting when you see it, I know
No…..redo the entire nation…. do every state ….the 50 needs to be purged of problem police period!!!!! End qualified immunity now!!!!
confederate klan constables……. on patrol and the tax payer pays for their bigotry!!!!no more!!!!!!!!! Resign!!!!!!!!
Tell me United States is Russia without telling me.
Huh? The chief is not aware? Bull
Those pigs are sick freaks
Brpd, for you. Baton Rouge is bad and the cops are worser. Just imagine how the cops in b.r. were before cameras.
Cop killer is always on my mind when i see a police officer
Its alleged, and im a innocent till proven guilty person. Unless theres RECORDINGS of this alleged torture, then i dont believe those people who claim they were tortured. Not even a bit.
Back the Blue until it happens to you.
that’s fine, but what does your gut tell you
This was a wannabe Black Site people they tortured people in the USA.
This is so freaking awesome…..I actually got turned on a little hearing about old school ways
If you think it’s a hot scene, don’t announce it, you will make yourself too obvious
It hurts even more when its crooked black cops that brutalize and abuse their own ppl. In my opinion that’s worse than a crooked white cop. On the subject of torture warehouse that is nothing new here in chicago. On the west side of Chicago the police have a similar warehouse called homan square facility where they make people disappear and torture people. The Chicago warehouse is worse than this because everybody in the city and in the Chicago police department knows about it.
