Louisiana trooper recorded saying he beat the ‘ever-living f—‘ out of Black man who then died

In graphic, matter-of-fact chatter picked up on his body-camera mic, a Louisiana State trooper implicated in the death of a Black man can be heard talking of beating and choking him before “all of a sudden he just went limp.”

Per the above article; In graphic, matter-of-fact chatter picked up on his body-camera mic, a Louisiana State trooper implicated in the death of a Black man can be heard talking of beating and choking him before “all of a sudden he just went limp.”

“I beat the ever-living FUCK out of him,” the trooper said in a 27-second audio clip obtained by The Associated Press.

It is the most direct evidence to emerge yet in the death last year of Ronald Greene, which troopers initially blamed on injuries from a car crash at the end of a chase. The long-simmering case has now become the subject of a federal civil rights investigation and growing calls for authorities to release the full body-cam video.

OPINION; In my opinion, the cops who BEAT and repeatedly tasered Ronald Greene murdered him and should be arrested / charged with MURDER.

Considering how they TORTURED Greene with a taser, caused his death and bragged about beating the FUCK out him… if found guilty by a court of law, the fitting punishment would be the ELECTRIC CHAIR
