Four Louisiana Officers Arrested over Police Brutality Cases and Other Misconduct

HeadlineFeb 10, 2021

In Louisiana, four police officers have been arrested for their involvement in cases of police brutality. In 2019, Ronald Greene, a Black man, died in state police custody after he was choked, beaten and jolted repeatedly with a stun gun by state troopers. Federal authorities have also launched their own investigation into Greene’s killing. Other charges stem from a May 2020 car chase and arrest, when officers reportedly deactivated their body cameras and falsified use-of-force and arrest reports.
