Bryanna Gifford – Scranton Police Department

Written by CBKN76

Officer Bryanna Gifford was terminated in June 2020 following an internal investigation that uncovered she exchanged numerous racist text messages with fellow officer Thomas McDonald, using derogatory language towards Black, Hispanic, and Middle Eastern individuals. The investigation highlighted a culture of racial bias within the department, leading to increased training budgets and policy reforms.

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.
