The body cam footage is telling a different story than what police was claiming initially
A body-cam video released by Louisiana authorities showed a Black man being tased, dragged, choked and beaten. The man, who died, was initially claimed by the police to have died in car accident. The incident took place on May 10, 2019 when police in northern Louisiana tried to stop a car driven by Ronald Greene, a 49-year-old barber, for what they said was an unspecified traffic violation.
Greene's relatives have been reported to have said that police initially told that he died on impact when, during a chase, his car crashed into a tree.
