Ronald Greene was overwhelmed to demise in 2019 by a bunch of white state troopers in Monroe, Louisiana. Initially, Trooper Dakota DeMoss, Trooper Kory York, and Grasp Trooper Chris Hollingsworth tried to cowl up their deadly abuse of energy by reporting that Greene died when he crashed right into a tree. Following that lie, the troopers stated that Greene struggled with officers and died on the best way to the hospital.
The one cause we realized the reality about what occurred is as a result of AP Information was in a position to get hold of the physique digital camera footage from the incident. Sufficed to say, the video didn’t match the story that DeMoss, York, and Hollingsworth have been attempting to promote.
In accordance with WREG, Greene’s household has lately been uplifted by Tyre Nichols’ dad and mom RowVaughn and Rodney Wells who’ve joined ubiquitous civil rights legal professional Ben Crump to assist obtain justice for Ronald, “I wished to know why there wasn’t a civil rights case for him,” stated Ms. Wells.
Greene’s mom, Mona Hardin, advised ABC24 that she’s disturbed {that a} Black officer was fired for her son’s demise however the white officers concerned have been allowed to retire with out correct self-discipline. She additionally famous that a type of officers, Trooper Hollingsworth, died in a automobile accident earlier than he could possibly be terminated.
“He bragged about ‘I beat the ever-lovin’ f*** out of him.’ His phrases… A yr later we have been advised they have been gonna fireplace him and he died in a automobile wreck,” stated Hardin. “And his information are sealed. Why is that? He bragged about what he’d did to my son. However when he died, his burial was with all of the bells and whistles of a hero.”
This is the reason Black individuals and different individuals of colour won’t ever give officers the good thing about the doubt. Far too many “unhealthy apples” have gotten away with far an excessive amount of killing and overlaying as much as consider within the good religion.
