did you hear the news today, that the family of Ronald Greene will see justice served for his murder, by police, who claimed he died in a car crash, but who were caught on video beating him to death?

 Greene, an unarmed black man, was killed by 5 state troopers who then agreed to lie about killing him. That's conspiracy, after the fact, or Murder 1. 

SO.... cops, being white, in Louisiana, killing a black man, and holding to the code of blue line, or whatever macho bullshit cops use to justify being more guilty than the people than arrest.

Louisiana state troopers beat unarmed Ronald Greene on a roadside in 2019 until he went limp and then died.

A grand jury in Union Parish handed up an indictment Thursday listing charges against five law enforcement officers.

Why were 5 troopers chasing him, was it to murder him? Because that was what they did. Torture, and murder, of a guy they chased.

Troopers Dakota DeMoss and Christopher Hollingsworth (who turned off his body cam) reached him first and charged his vehicle. Greene showed his hands as Hollingsworth began to stun him and Greene howled, "I'm your brother! I'm scared! I'm scared!" 

 Greene was repeatedly tased and then beaten on the ground before other troopers and a Union Parish sheriff's deputy arrived. Body camera footage shows York forcing Greene to remain prone on his belly and then dragging him by his leg shackles.

State Police failed to provide an incident report or any details on the crash.

The details of Greene's death remained largely under wraps for a year — until after his family filed a federal lawsuit in May 2020 alleging the troopers had used excessive force. State Police initially informed the family he died because of the crash. 

Suspicions of a coverup by State Police brass were inflamed this year with records showing a narrative in emails with an agency lawyer that the crash ultimately killed Greene.

Trooper Hollingsworth, whose body-worn and dashboard cameras were turned off during the encounter, died in a single-car wreck shortly after learning he would be fired for his role in Greene's death.

 Hollingsworth was caught on a recording, which was leaked to The Associated Press, telling a friend just moments after leaving the scene that he "beat the ever-living f--k" out of Greene.

Allegations that the ranking trooper at the scene, Lt. John Clary, withheld body cam footage from investigators and that State Police brass tried to whitewash Greene's death have left Louisiana's premier law enforcement agency engulfed in scandal.

The feds also launched investigations into several other alleged beatings of Black motorists in 2019 and 2020 by members of Troop F, the predominantly White unit at the center of the excessive-force scandal in north Louisiana.

 At the request of federal investigators, the forensic pathologist, Jennifer Forsyth, reassessed the case with photos, medical records and body-cam videos she hadn't seen previously.

Forsyth's supplemental report dropped agitated delirium as a cause of death. It added tasing, "prone restraint" and neck compression as contributing factors to Greene's death.

anyone else disgusted that the state troopers covered up this murder? How about " "prone restraint" and neck compression" a year before George Flyod was murdered with this method?

  1. They need to be burned at the stake, in full view if everyone who WANTS to watch, and it ought to be mandatory for their colleagues to witness.
    I really feel for these creeps and their ilk - when SHTF, they're in deep sheep dip.
