  • Ronald Green and more killer cops.

    If this is allowed to continue, there will come a time when they don’t bother to cover things up.

    Is this story in the Christo-Conservative news?

    It appears there's not a lot of information about this case in the news. The few mentions I can find are from disreputable sources like CNN and the New York Times which don't go into a lot of detail and give a slanted perspective. It seems there are no definitive answers at the moment -- the family claims brutality; the police say that the suspect was injured when he crashed his car during a high speed chase -- and so the investigation continues.

    As usual, it's best not to jump to conclusions here.

        Here is a local TV news report including police body cam vids and some pretty graphic pictures (viewers forewarned)

          T’was deliberately vague to see if you guys get to hear about this sort of thing. I suspect not.

              Isn't she still busy telling everyone not to believe what she says?

                  I don’t think so.


                  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.

                      Here's the thing: you will not find a single person here who will defend police brutality, but you will also not find the more conservative among us quick to condemn the police in the absence of facts.

                      If Ron Green was killed as a direct result of unwarranted police conduct, then those officers should to be held accountable, but these cases are rarely cut and dry.

                        The medical examiner thought there was something fishy about the cop’s story when he found taser hooks in Greene’s body.

                          From what I can tell by what little I read and saw, Greene was not just some innocent victim in all this. He was driving at reckless speeds of over 115MPH through populated areas. He didn't seem to have any regard for anyone else's well being or lives during his wild ride. That doesn't excuse any abuse by the police or the coverup, but it does show that this wasn't just some evil cops out to kill a black man. To me it looks like they got out of control trying to arrest the guy and then tried to cover it up.

                            You get the Police force you deserve. Part of the reason that the Police are thugs, or allow thugs in their ranks, is because you turn a blind eye, thus giving them permission to behave badly. And the reason you are so careless has to do with you not being the victim of Police brutality. You don’t care that the blacks suffer.

                              That's quite a straw man you are building there!
