"FBI Investigates Alleged Police Abuse at Baton Rouge 'Torture Warehouse'"

The FBI has initiated a civil rights investigation into allegations of police abuse at an obscure warehouse in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, known as the "Brave Cave." Multiple lawsuits have been filed, with victims claiming they were assaulted and subjected to strip searches by police officers. The city's mayor has ordered the closure of the facility, and the police department has disbanded its street crimes unit. The son of a deputy chief, who was at the center of the allegations, has resigned and been arrested. This scandal adds to a series of corruption and misconduct allegations against the Baton Rouge police department, which has faced scrutiny since the fatal police shooting of Alton Sterling in 2016. The FBI's investigation comes after the police chief requested a review of the allegations. Additional lawsuits are expected to be filed as more victims come forward.
