Louisiana State Police trooper fired for speaking out about a Black man's death in custody and cover-up
The Louisiana State Police on Monday fired a trooper who helped expose how the department allegedly covered up the death of an unarmed Black motorist, Ronald Greene, in 2019.
The department fired Trooper Carl Cavalier for disloyalty, seeking publicity and other infractions related to his openly critical public statements about the Greene case, according to the termination letter.
Theyre trying to make an example out of me to keep people from speaking up, Cavalier said in an interview. Its a horrible feeling because I worked so hard to be a part of the department.
