Four Louisiana Officers Arrested over Police Brutality Cases and Other Misconduct
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Louisiana, four police officers have been arrested for their
involvement in cases of police brutality. In 2019, Ronald Greene, a
Black man, died in state police custody after he was choked, beaten and
jolted repeatedly with a stun gun by state troopers. Federal authorities
have also launched their own investigation into Greene's killing. Other
charges stem from a May 2020 car chase and arrest, when officers
reportedly deactivated their body cameras and falsified use-of-force and
arrest reports.
