UPDATE: Police said he died in a car crash... FINALLY ... charges files against officers

Nothing like some cold, hard evidence to shut down ignorant views.

 

I wouldn't be opposed to a count of attempted murder for everyone he came near to in his highway fleeing but he deserved a trial before his punishment.

 

Louisiana officers charged in Black motorist’s deadly arrest

Five Louisiana law enforcement officers were charged Thursday with state crimes ranging from negligent homicide to malfeasance in the deadly 2019 arrest of Ronald Greene, a death authorities initially blamed on a car crash before long suppressed body-camera video showed white officers beating, stunning and dragging the Black motorist as he wailed, “I’m scared!”

These are the first criminal charges of any kind to emerge from Greene’s bloody death on a roadside in rural northeast Louisiana, a case that got little attention until an Associated Press investigation exposed a cover-up and prompted scrutiny of top Louisiana State Police brass, a sweeping U.S. Justice Department review of the agency and a legislative inquiry looking at what Gov. John Bel Edwards knew and when he knew it.

 

"The AP later found that Greene’s arrest was among at least a dozen cases over the past decade in which state police troopers or their bosses ignored or concealed evidence of beatings of mostly Black men, deflected blame and impeded efforts to root out misconduct. Dozens of current and former troopers said the beatings were countenanced by a culture of impunity, nepotism and, in some cases, racism."

 

Thanks for the update @philnotfil.

Hope these guys serve every minute they have coming.

 

As these cases show, the biggest problem is the culture in some of these places.
There are going to be aholes and miscreants anywhere, the key is not protecting them. I understand the “us against the world” culture in some ways given almost everyone they deal with doesn’t want to be there. But there has to be a limit over stuff like this.
