David Stanley – Lafayette Police Department

Written by CBKN76

Officer David Stanley, former president of the Police Association of Lafayette, was suspended for 80 hours without pay and transferred from the K-9 unit in 2020. The discipline was in response to social media posts made on the union’s Facebook page, which the department claimed violated policies. Stanley filed a federal lawsuit alleging the actions were retaliatory and violated his First Amendment rights.

Important Community Guidelines

It is strictly against our rules to:

Violation of these rules will result in immediate content removal and possible account suspension.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
