Ex-trooper pleads not guilty in motorist’s severe beating

Associated Press  

— A former Louisiana State Police trooper pleaded not guilty Wednesday to a federal charge in the 2019 video recorded beating of a man whose injuries included a broken jaw and broken ribs. Jacob Brown is charged with “deprivation of rights under color of law” in the beating of Aaron Bowman following a north Louisiana traffic stop. Brown’s September indictment came amid federal scrutiny of other troopers who punched, stunned and dragged another Black motorist, Ronald Greene, before he died in custody. “I’m praying that we all get justice,” a subdued Bowman said as he stood with his attorneys and supporters, including Greene’s mother.
