Two of the five #Louisiana police officers charged in the death of #RonaldGreene have had their charges dismissed earlier this week by a judge in #UnionParish. From the article:
“The judge further threatened to toss out the charges against the other officers if prosecutors fail to fix certain legal issues in the indictments.”

A state judge has thrown out obstruction of justice charges against two of the five Louisiana lawmen indicted in the fatal 2019 arrest of Ronald Greene, a death authorities initially blamed on a car crash before long suppressed body-camera video showed the white officers beating, stunning and dragging the Black motorist. While the rulings this week marked a setback for the prosecution, they did not affect the most serious charges, including negligent homicide against a trooper seen in the graphic footage dragging Greene by his ankle shackles and leaving him prone on the ground for more than nine minutes.
Excerpt from interview with Ronald Greene's mother:
"Yesterday I [was invited] to the White House to meet with Biden... Everybody has a job but nobody takes their job seriously. Other than the reporters and whistleblowers and families and activists. Those are the only minds of determination I see... We still can’t trust no one. We’re not represented... How can you uphold any part of the Constitution when this is going on?"

In 2019, #RonaldGreene was brutally beaten by officers of the #LouisianaStatePolice after a vehicular pursuit, later dying of injuries he sustained. LSP didn’t really acknowledge the incident until the #AP released leaked footage, which started a process that saw multiple officers charged in December 2022. Greene’s mother, #MonaHarden will be present at Tuesday’s #StateOfTheUnion address, highlighting the need for #accountable #policing.

Five Louisiana law enforcement officers have been charged with state crimes for their roles in the 2019 arrest of Ronald Greene, whose death authorities initially blamed on a car crash until The Associated Press published long-withheld body-camera video showing the Black motorist being stunned, beaten and dragged
A use-of-force expert for Louisiana State Police who reviewed footage of Ronald Greene’s arrest called the troopers’ actions “torture and murder,” while several current and former State Police officials described
"#Louisiana troopers accused of killing Black man and obstructing investigations"
"This is three-and-a-half years of a murder and a cover-up. Let's not forget who aided and abetted,to where we had to really struggle just to get what we got today.(...)
They need to be held accountable,because,if not,(...)you are condoning the killing of Ronald Greene.You're OK with my son being murdered."
