The family of Ronald Greene is reportedly fighting for justice after alleging that the Louisiana State Police covered up the brutal beating that led to his death in 2019. The police allegedly told Greene’s family he passed away in a car accident. However, bodycam footage of their encounter has since been released.
Now, The Shade Room’s Justin Carter is delving further into the tragedy and the family’s claims on ‘TSR Investigates.’
More Details On The Bodycam Footage Of Ronald Greene
According to Carter, Greene’s mother, Mona Hardin, has been fighting for the bodycam footage of the fateful night the Louisiana State Police encountered her son. In the footage, officers can be seen approaching Greene’s car. They yell orders for him to exit the vehicle. However, the ordeal escalates as viewers can hear Greene screaming while being tased.
Additionally, the footage even captures officers repeatedly punching and kneeling on the 49-year-old. At one point, one of the officers can be heard telling a dispatcher that they choked and “beat the ever-living s**t” out of Greene.
“And then all of a sudden, he just went limp,” the officer can be heard saying.
According to Carter, Greene’s body was left “badly bruised with markings all over his body” from the police attack. Meanwhile, Hardin explained that the officers shared conflicting reports about what allegedly happened to her son.
The 49-Year-Old’s Family Fights For Justice
It reportedly took over a year for the state police to launch an investigation into Greene’s death. Additionally, the police did not initially reveal to Greene’s family that there was bodycam footage of the incident. In 2021, it reportedly surfaced via the Associated Press.
“The coverup is so heavy,” Hardin told Carter.
In 2022, five officers reportedly involved in the incident were indicted on multiple charges, including negligent homicide. Despite this, Hardin says that “one by one, those five indictments” were “kicked to the curb.”
