re: Louisiana State trooper body cam video.

If people would put their hands behind their back while getting arrested they probably would not cause extenuating circumstances and die.

Don’t wants cops killing anyone but if you comply from the start things will usually stop with you going to jail.

hang on to your butts

TLDR: Fukn amped up troopers take it to a black guy after high speed chase, guy resists, they give em the business...he dies, they cover it up, autopsy dr raises red flags, body cam is found, cops suspended, one suspended for a week, one fired and dies in a car crash, the other arrested for same shite on another guy

and now BLM and every other defund the police org gets a shite load of ammo for their agenda

Greene, a barber, failed to pull over for an unspecified traffic violation shortly after midnight on May 10, 2019, about 30 miles south of the Arkansas state line. That’s where the video obtained by AP begins, with Trooper Dakota DeMoss chasing Greene’s SUV on rural highways at over 115 mph.

Seconds before the chase ended, DeMoss warned on his radio: “We got to do something. He’s going to kill somebody.”

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.”

quote:

---

Hollingsworth shocks Greene with a stun gun within seconds through the driver’s side window as both troopers demand he get out of the vehicle.

Greene exits through the passenger side as the troopers wrestle him to the ground. One trooper can be heard saying “He’s grabbing me” as they try to handcuff him. “Put your hands behind your back, bitch,” one trooper says.

Hollingsworth strikes Greene multiple times and appears to lie on one of his arms before he is finally handcuffed.

quote:

---

At one point, Trooper Kory York yanks Greene’s leg shackles and briefly drags the man on his stomach even though he isn’t resisting.

York was suspended without pay for 50 hours for the dragging and for improperly deactivating his body camera. York told investigators the device was beeping loudly and his “mind was on other things.”

Hollingsworth, in a separate recording obtained by AP, can be heard telling a colleague at the office that “he beat the ever-living f--- out of” Greene.

---

quote:

---

“Choked him and everything else trying to get him under control,” Hollingsworth is heard saying. “He was spitting blood everywhere, and all of a sudden he just went limp.”

Hollingsworth later died in a single-vehicle highway crash that happened hours after he learned he would be fired for his role in the Greene case.

DeMoss, meanwhile, was arrested in connection with a separate police pursuit last year in which he and two other troopers allegedly used excessive force while handcuffing a motorist.

Exactly what caused Greene’s death remains unclear. Union Parish Coroner Renee Smith told AP last year his death was ruled accidental and attributed to cardiac arrest. Smith, who was not in office when that determination was made, said her office’s file on Greene attributed his death to a car crash and made no mention of a struggle with State Police.

The AP last year also obtained a medical report showing an emergency room doctor noted Greene arrived dead at the hospital, bruised and bloodied with two stun-gun prongs in his back. That led the doctor to question troopers’ initial account that Greene had “died on impact” after crashing into a tree.

“Does not add up,” the doctor wrote.

High speed chase creates huge adrenaline rush that is taken out on the suspect when combined with anger when the chase ends. frick these cops. As much of a lack of self control as the criminals.

We’re shocked that we don’t send rabbits to catch wolves, that’s funny

Lmao... I feel 0 remorse

If youre from Louisiana or live here you should give a frick ...settlement money comes out of your taxes

you should give a frick about cops lying about the cause of death on their report, but whatevs

Aren't these the officers that claimed this guy died on impact from the car crash?

quote:

---

So for the people defending this...if the guy pulls a gun or knife his life is forfeit...but if he is recklessly driving a 2 ton weapon around, he should get his day in court? How should the lines be drawn here?

---

If someone pulls a knife or a gun but then decides to drop it...then yes they should be detained and have their day in court. How is this even questionable?

quote:

---

Being beat to death means you were murdered.

---

No it doesn't. It means homicide, but not always murder.

Im big back the blue but they fricked up, and then started digging a deep hole...this will make it tougher for all cops to do their job, which was damn near impossible before this

quote:

---

State Police spokesman declined to comment, citing the federal investigation.

State Police brass initially argued the troopers' use of force was justified — "awful but lawful," as ranking officials described it — and did not open an administrative investigation until 474 days after Greene's death.

---

stupid choice of words knowing the guy died in custody and there was body cam footage....and a 1.5 years??? the ostrich technique is garbage

quote:

---

"Police departments have got to stop putting roadblocks up to information that is, in the public's eye, questionable. They have to reveal all that they know, when they know it," said Andrew Scott, a former Boca Raton, Florida, police chief who testifies as an expert witness in use-of-force cases. "It suggests that you're hiding something."

---

this is the only way to go, anything less looks BAD

quote:

---

hile noting Greene "was not without fault" and appeared to resist the troopers' orders, Scott said dragging the handcuffed man facedown by his ankle shackles was "malicious, sadistic, completely unnecessary."

---

terrible, no excuse

quote:

---

"That should never have never happened," he said. "You've got the guy completely compromised. He's not hurting anybody."

---

again, bad choice of words...should have been "he's no longer a risk to the general public"

quote:

---

Charles Key, another use-of-force expert and former Baltimore police lieutenant, questioned the troopers' decision to leave Greene unattended, handcuffed and prone for several minutes, calling the practice "just dead wrong."

---

theyre talking to each other away from him "locker room" style, which looks terrible...and with a fukn BODY CAM RECORDING!!!

quote:

---

"You don't leave somebody lying on the ground, particularly after you've had this fight," Key said. "The training has been for a number of years that, as soon as you get someone under control, you put them on their side to facilitate their breathing ... and particularly this guy, because he was very heavy.

---

should have immediately dispatched ambulance and attended the guy

eta: coroner report death was ruled accidental and attributed to cardiac arrest...they did some fukn up along hte way, but prob would have made it through save for the lies about dieing from the crash. frick them

right or wrong, they swore an oath...guy died and they covered it up. makes good cops look bad
