This is every kind of awful
Video Shows Troopers Punching Black Man During Fatal Arrest : NPR
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.
And yet the official line was “It’s all good. Tragic but necessary.” Fuck them all.
BTW, I have to worry about the outcome for the doc who dared to question the official line.
