    Ronald Greene punched and dragged by police before his death, video shows.
    The Guardian (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 82% • 3 min read

    The videos, taken from body and dashboard cameras from the officers on the scene, showed the disturbing encounter Greene had with the police that night. Officers started to pursue Greene for an unspecified traffic violation just after midnight. Officers are seen punching Greene and using a stun gun while he is on the ground.
    ...
    Greene’s family said police told them he had died after his car crashed during a police pursuit. Police later adjusted the story and said he had struggled with officers and died on his way to the hospital. No cause of death was mentioned in Greene’s autopsy report.
    ...
    Two investigations, an internal inquiry from Louisiana police and a federal civil rights investigation, began at the end of last summer – over a year after Greene’s death. Greene’s family has also filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the officers involved. Ron Haley, the lawyer for Greene’s family, said the video’s release was “two years too late, but better late than never”, according to The Advocate, a local newspaper.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

No - I'm happily married, so this is hypothetical, but I can say that if any of my friends were unvaccinated I wouldn't invite them to social events, so I can't imagine I'd date an unvaccinated person. Besides the health risk, I'd see it as a huge red flag about their personality.


Yes - I am vaccinated and my fiancé is not. I understand why he decided against vaccination, and honestly, I didn't really want to ge...
