Graphic photos of a Black man who died after a police pursuit last year have fueled calls for the Louisiana State Police to release body camera footage of what they called their 'struggle” to take 49-year-old Ronald Greene into custody.

This undated photo provided by his family in September 2020 shows Ronald A. Greene. Greene's family filed a federal wrongful death lawsuit in May 2020 alleging Louisiana state troopers "brutalized" Greene, used a stun gun on him three times and "left him beaten, bloodied and in cardiac arrest" before covering up his actual cause of death.

The juxtaposition fueled calls for State Police to release body-camera footage of the chase and what the agency recently acknowledged was a “struggle” to take Greene into custody after he drove off the road in rural northern Louisiana near Monroe. State Police have declined to release the video or comment on the photos due to ongoing investigations of Greene’s death.“These photos are atrocious,” said Eugene W.

A crash report obtained by the AP says Greene failed to stop for an unspecified traffic violation and later drove off the road and into a ditch, striking a mailbox and a culvert. The vehicle later “struck a shrub/tree next to a private drive,” the report says. “We were told that he died in a high-speed chase of head injuries after crashing into a tree,” Greene’s mother, Mona Hardin, told the AP. “There was no major damage to the car.”

RELIVING LAST YEAR'S CASES TO SEE 👀 IF THERE WAS RACIAL INJUSTICE? FANNING THE FLAMES

let's learn both sides before we bash the suspect or police dept.

I don’t know why depts don’t just release these after their 72 hour review. If it’s an ongoing investigation, ok that’s cool but there’s nothing wrong with showing body cam footage to inform the public on the incident. It helps with transparency

He didn’t pull over and he fought the cops. On drugs just like GeorgeFloyd?

All this wasted energy on making invalid points and pointing the finger at trump over something he had nothing to do with is 1 of many reasons why it's safe to say journalism is dead. The only people who should be held accountable for these people dying in police custody is dems.

Really tame headline- outrageously blatant cover-up

Criminal?

I’d like video footage of black lives matter and antifa s attacks on all citizens. Stop starting fights- help stopping them FOOLS !

You do such a good job of helping to stir racial divide. Keep up the good work.

If they have nothing to hide ...
