Sgt. John Dauthier was placed on administrative leave on Monday, June 20, 2022.

“Yesterday, for reasons unknown and undisclosed, John was put on administrative leave by BRPD,” said Dauthier’s attorney Cliff Ivey. “This came just moments after a meeting I had with some union leadership encouraging any attempt at rapprochement with the BRPD administration.”



The watchdog group out of New Orleans, Metropolitan Crime Commission’s Rafael Goyeneche has said in the past that Murphy Paul is using his internal affairs division as a weapon against officers and a way to personally threaten them when he’s upset. Chief Paul is accused of being vindictive and the last week, would give him reason to be vindictive against Dauthier.

I think this may be a problem for Paul.

How many white officers are left in BRPD?

The ones not fired have to either be putting in time for their retirement or looking at other departments.

so, they can just say frick it, you're on leave. don't worry about why?

When an officer is placed on leave, generally they are told why & what they’re accused of doing that led to opening an internal affairs investigation and placing the officer of leave. However, there is no BRPD policy that addresses the protocols. It’s more so a common courtesy to advise the officer what they’re under investigation for

Oh poor baby, the hand puppet doesn’t get his way, pouts, so he uses internal affairs against his own Officers. I’m sure the head of internal affairs is black too.

Paul needs to fricking go. What a disgrace.

This most likely will be another blow to working class morale at BRPD, which is already at an all time low,” said Ivey.


Taken from the Obama playbook to destroy institutions from within. Promote only woke progs into positions of hierarchy and let the fun begin. FBI, CIA, Border Patrol, DOJ, State Department.

And now you do what they told ya.

You’re correct, Murphy is a pathetic pos drama queen that is incapable of doing his job at all. Hence the thugs running wild in Baton Rouge and spilling over into other parishes.

It will be interesting to see how this shakes out. MP and Broome may just terminate Dauthier and pay him whatever to go away. But I think Dauthier is well past seeking any sort of monetary award. He is out to set things right.

Just remember folks, the power brokers in BR are ok with this shite. The Enquists. The Lipseys. The BRAC and LABI types. They abide this shite and everything that comes with it. They just want the money train to keep coming.

Not necessarily for those guys. I’m alluding to their general business interest in and around the BR area.

and the last week, would give him reason to be vindictive against Dauthier.


quote:

What the public may not be aware of is Dauthier & Chief Murphy Paul have been feuding the last few years. Dauthier has left no stone unturned in trying to prove his claim that Chief Paul & his current BRPD administration allegedly have “a blatantly partial doctrine of unfair targeting of certain officers.” Ivey said his client can say that from experience because he served in internal affairs under Chief Paul, the division that is responsible for investigating officers. However, Ivey said when Dauthier realized the favoritism towards specific officers and targeting others, he asked to be moved out into uniform patrol.

The alleged “disparate discipline” has been the subject of numerous investigations by Unfiltered with Kiran, including the investigation against Dauthier for how he responded to a scene.



quote:

The First Circuit Court of Appeal ruled last week in Dauthier’s favor ordering BRPD to turn over public records, records they heavily redacted, perhaps illegally. These records are internal affairs documents Dauthier requesting trying to prove the disparate discipline rendered by Chief Paul & his current administration.


quote:

Dauthier was recently elected to serve as the BRPD representative on the Municipal Fire & Police Civil Service Board. In the past week, the BRPD Police Union issued a statement against the current board chair Brandon Williams and his ability to serve the board given his arrest.

Williams was arrested in Oct. 2020 accused of simple burglary of an inhabited dwelling & theft over $25,000. The cases are still pending with District Attorney Hillar Moore.

Plus, the legality of whether Williams & another board member’s appointments are within the law was pointed out by attorney Jill Craft, also last week

June 21, 2022 is a civil service meeting where Dauthier asked to put two items on the agenda to discuss with the board. One item had to do with Chief Paul’s attorneys’ actions that caused a BRPD officer, who was legally served a subpoena to show up at the civil service meeting, to be absent.

The second item has to do with the legality of Williams’ & another board member’s appointments.
