Ronald Greene

Ronald Greene was a Black motorist who died in 2019 following an arrest by Louisiana state police and a local sheriff's office. Recent news highlights a $4.85 million settlement reached between the state and Greene's daughter. This settlement comes after Greene's family pursued legal action following his death, which involved him being fatally shocked with a stun gun, punched, and dragged during the arrest. The settlement, facilitated by mediation, is considered substantial and aims to bring some closure to Greene's loved ones. Attorney Ben Crump stated that while the money cannot erase the pain, the settlement helps to bring the truth to light. The case underscores ongoing discussions about police accountability and the pursuit of justice in cases of alleged police brutality.
