FOG BLOG U.S. NEWS LOG: GRUESOME FOOTAGE OF RONALD GREENE SHOOTING RELEASED:

Louisiana State Police to release all body-cam footage related to Ronald Greene investigation.....Right now only segments have been released to media!......At first, police told Ronald Greene’s loved ones that he died in a car accident — plowing into a tree late one night in 2019 after driving past a traffic stop, according to a lawsuit filed by the man’s family. Video told a different story, and a familiar one to critics of a state police department plagued by allegations of excessive force against drivers of color.

Body-camera footage published by the Associated Press — withheld for two years by authorities — captures Greene wailing and saying, “I’m sorry!” as Louisiana state troopers violently arrest him, deploying what the AP identifies as a stun gun after the Black man appears to raise his hands inside his car. Troopers later punch Greene in the face, drag him briefly by his shackled ankles and leave him to moan alone while handcuffed for more than nine minutes, according to the AP. “I’m scared! I’m scared! … I’m scared!” the 49-year-old yells while bent over in the front seat. “I’m your brother. I’m scared!”
