Kamel Jones – Salisbury Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In April 2021, Police Communications Officer Kamel Jones took a photo of a woman causing a disturbance in the Salisbury Police Department lobby and shared it on social media. This action led to his suspension and eventual forced resignation in May 2021. Jones filed a lawsuit alleging race discrimination, claiming that similarly situated white employees were not disciplined for comparable conduct. The court allowed his race discrimination claims to proceed, highlighting potential inconsistencies in disciplinary actions within the department.

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.
