A top Brooklyn cop at the center of a love triangle, played favorites for his precinct girlfriends and blamed one of his lieutenants for the press leak about the scandal.
He decided to retaliate by booting her to the lobster shift.
NYPD Lt. Kamal Roper said, “The shift switch, which included a change from a daytime weekday assignment to a midnight slot with weekend work, was the last straw for me. I was tired of working in the hostile and stressful environment created by police Capt. Frantz Souffrant in the 78th Precinct.”
Souffrant garnered headlines in June when he claimed that he, his former girlfriend Detective Ileen Estevez, and Officer Noemi Sierra were the victims of cyber-bullying in the department. He said the bullying consisted of false accusations of scandalous trysts.
Roper, a 22-year veteran, claims in the suit that Souffrant gave the two female subordinates cushy shifts and tried to pad their arrest stats.
Souffrant repeatedly gave preferential treatment to female officers who have not demonstrated any skills or proficiency on the job and receive positions that they are not qualified for because of having personal relationships with them, according to the suit filed Wednesday in Brooklyn Supreme Court.
Roper voiced her concern to Souffrant about his gender-based favoritism and the hostile work environment for women back in March. However, he ignored her complaint and disregarded her as if they never spoke.
The next month, when news broke of Souffrant’s romantic life inside the precinct, he vehemently blamed Roper for the leak because of her previous work at the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau, which knew about the claims. So he decided to transfer her to the midnight shift.
It was unclear if Souffrant faced any internal charges for possibly violating internal policies over the alleged relationships.
Roper also claims in her suit that the supervisor was derelict in his duties as a commanding officer, including during a series of bomb threats at city schools in May.
Roper said, ” I tried to reach him, but to no avail. I eventually decided to control the scene without my superior, making a tough call to not evacuate the schools while sweeping the buildings for explosives. About an hour later, he finally called me, unaware of the situation, to go over some perceived deficiencies and then hung up on me. He never gave me any insight or direction after I hurriedly tried to explain the very serious situation going on in a respectful tone to him.”
Her lawyer, John Scola, said, “Rather than perpetrating the adverse actions against her subordinates, Lt. Roper stood up to Souffrant and is now vindictively facing the possibility of being demoted.”
that guy is no different than others of a different race that have for many years gave someone within the same group as them an hirer position, a job, plus hirer salary, and many that received special favor are not African Americans that has no qualification , education , nor people skills what so ever to work in various companies, that black police has just took a page out of so many non blacks books when it comes to promotion and hiring ., heck isn’t this normal on many jobs, yes indeed , so many non blacks have been doing mess like that for a very long time. and not one time have any of those people got an long article written on them, in which they need to also be called out for their bias ways and exposed for all the World to see. If you going to do this lets gather together many more across the board, and do unto them also as an even playing field this guy is being written about in a negative way, Why ? let me take a wild guess due to being a Black male , Yes the ONLY time black people are being written about it have to be something very negative as if they are the only folks on this entire planet, and they all are just pure evil this includes the, the bed wenches and sell outs , there are far more non black employees working within Wells Fargo Bank Corp. that do more dirt than that guy, and most of those employees are not qualified to work in any company and most of them don’t have one ounce of integrity or people skills , so why are they not written about, just look at how many law suits has been brought up against that bank for the workers being so damn bias? , So since he and his females were written about, why not have equality in this story and throw in a whole bunch of Hispanics and whites that do mess like this every day at companies they work at , lets throw in how many employees abuse their positions , the system and often Steal from the companies they work at, and many of those whom hire applicants will quickly hire a damn thief or serial killers and will smile while doing so, even if they saw on the person application they are hired hit men and have a long criminal history just as long as they are not black , most workers within the human resources are at all times discriminating against qualified applicants for good paying jobs due to their name, race, sexual preference, age , not being able to speak both English and Spanish, what about writing articles on many employees that work in banking institutions, like underwriters and loan officers who don’t give home loans or business loans to many blacks who qualify , but will give loans to those whom are non black American quickly , including those with no legal documents and are illegal , yes so many people do not have anything that would qualify them for a loan , and many do not even have enough income coming in to afford the mortgage payments ,although as we all know most of them that do not qualify will get a loan faster then most black folks , for a business and a home . Therefore we seem to over look others who have or doing things far worse on a job then him, just like all others, we the people are treating this situation likewise , we are turning our backs and we will act like he is a good cop doing an remarkable job . therefore correct all the wrong you people are doing before judging this law abiding man !

You what killed Custer, besides a bunch of pissed off native Americans?…when Custer’s runner (who as an Italian and couldn’t speak proper English) relayed a message to the other the commanders telling them to bring more packs…meaning men and ammunition. But, instead of those commanders taking the appropriate actions on both the content and context of the message they decided to do nothing and criticize messenger on his delivery.
Gracie, you sound like a babbling idiot, obvoisly your a typical black racist, rather than look at someone doing wrong, you want to say the White Man has been doing it, so it’s ok. It’s not ok, ans when the White Man is doing it it’s still not ok.
Henry, shut the fuck up you pussy.
