Video shows grisly death of Black man in police custody: AP

Body camera footage obtained by The Associated Press news agency shows Louisiana state troopers stunning, punching and dragging a Black man as he apologised for leading them on a high-speed chase during a deadly arrest. Greene wails “I’m sorry!” as another trooper delivers another stun gun shock to his backside and warns, “Look, you’re going to get it again if you don’t put your f****** hands behind your back!” Another trooper can be seen briefly dragging the man facedown after his legs had been shackled and his hands cuffed behind him. In a statement, the agency said the “premature public release of investigative files and video evidence in this case is not authorized and … undermines the investigative process and compromises the fair and impartial outcome.” State police brass initially argued the troopers’ use of force was justified and did not open an administrative investigation until 474 days after Greene’s death. Greene’s family has filed a federal wrongful-death lawsuit alleging troopers “brutalised” Greene, and “left him beaten, bloodied and in cardiac arrest” before covering up the cause of death. https://t.co/ZwlEY7dx1V — ACLU of Louisiana May 19, 2021 As DeMoss and Master Trooper Chris Hollingsworth rush Greene’s SUV, he can be seen appearing to raise his hands and saying over and over, “OK, OK. I’m sorry.” Hollingsworth shocks Greene with a stun gun within seconds through the driver’s side window as both troopers demand he gets out of the vehicle.
