Ex-Louisiana police boss to testify in Ronald Greene’s death

Associated Press  

— The former head of the Louisiana State Police has agreed to appear before the legislative committee investigating the fatal arrest of Ronald Greene — an in-custody death one lawmaker described Tuesday as “a modern-day lynching.” Legislators plan to question former Col. Kevin Reeves as soon as next week about his response to Greene’s violent death and what Gov. “Ronald Greene’s death can be equated to a modern-day lynching, and that’s just the facts,” Rep. Jason Hughes, a New Orleans Democrat, said during the committee’s first hearing. “It’s imperative that we garner the facts and the truth surrounding his death and that we leave no stone unturned.” The bipartisan committee formed last month in response to another AP report that Edwards was informed within hours that troopers arresting Greene engaged in a “violent, lengthy struggle.” The governor has said he was unaware Greene had been mistreated until September 2020 and did not speak out about the troopers’ actions — even after privately watching graphic body camera footage of the arrest — because of an ongoing federal civil rights investigation. “I know it has been tough,” Edwards texted Reeves on Oct. 14, 2020, the day Greene’s family first met with the governor before privately viewing the body camera footage of Greene’s death.
