Douglas Sacha/Getty Images (BATON ROUGE, La.) -- When Baton Rouge Police Department (BRPD) leadership found out about the allegations of the "brave cave," the police chief immediately went to the FBI in August, according to a source familiar with the investigation. The police department faces several lawsuits over the treatment of detainees, including at a now-shuttered police warehouse that officers allegedly called the "brave cave," according to the complaints. It is exceedingly rare for a police chief to go to the FBI and ask for an investigation into their own department.
