Police Deaths Without Accountability

Mona Hardin, the mother of Ronald Greene, who died at the hands of Louisiana police two years ago, spoke to CBS Morning Show last Sunday, June 6, 2021, and she did not hold back at all. She stated that she saw the actual camera footage of her son, Ronnie, murdered at the hands of Louisiana Troopers. There's no way one can look at the body camera videos and not see that. She wished she could tell the CBS interviewers that these officers have been convicted of crimes they did that night, but they have not. "I'm sorry. I'm scared. I'm your brother." were her son's last words before he was killed. On May 10, 2019, her son, Ronald Greene, was tortured to death by Louisiana State Troopers in Monroe, Louisiana. "My son was tasered, punched, and choked by White officers. They shackled Ronnie's wrists and ankles, pepper-sprayed him while lying face down, and left him moaning for more than nine minutes as they washed and wiped his blood from their hands and faces while he struggled to breathe, bleeding from their beating. Then the officers bragged about what they did. When medical assistance finally got there, Ronnie was limp and unresponsive. He was loaded into the ambulance, cuffed to the bedrail, without any administration of oxygen or aid. They contacted me. They lied to me and told me that he was killed in a car crash. I wish I could tell you that justice has been served for my Ronnie, but it has not. No one has been held accountable for my child's death. We need these officers arrested for what they did that night. We need them to be indicted for this inhumane and unbelievable act of violence. If there is no accountability, deaths like Ronnie's will just continue. How many Black men, women, and children have to be killed by the police before we make real change? How many Black men, women, and children do we have to watch get slaughtered by White cops on camera? Ronnie was a father, a brother, an uncle, a friend to many. He was loved and taken too soon. Our family will never, ever be the same. I will never give up this fight for his justice." said Hardin. The Urban League of Louisiana is committed to bringing justice for Ronald Greene and are seeking signatures on a petition.

To date, there is still no word on the suspicious death of David Harris, who died while in police custody on April 3, 2021. Three months later, still no mention of what happened to David Harris? What if the shoe were on the other foot? City of Monroe Mayor and Police Chief, people deserve to know what happened to David Harris!
