the family of ronald greene because to them, trooper hollingsworth was the principal offender in the beating of ronald greene. in a single car crash in some expected a suicide but before his death, he sat down for two hours with detectives for an interrogation and in video and audio, exclusively obtained by the associated press and edited for brevity, we hear hollingsworth play the victim and incredulous detectives skeptical of his characterization of what happened. i wasn t trying to use deadly force against him. i only wanted to free my arm. chris, did you have an object in your hand? i d like to look. i could have had my flashlight. does appear you had a chance
hollingsworth is just a piece of a large puzzle, and he wasn t the main character. the cover-up that goes even further. if they fixed it way back then, gosh, where would we be? but look at where we are now because they were defiant in getting their good old boys off the hook because this is how they behave in louisiana state troopers. mona, dinelle, thank you. thank you so much for coming on. thank you so much for speaking up. thank you. for your brother, for ronald greene. we ll be right back. prevents crab grass and feeds your lawn. all three,in just one bag. i like that. scotts turf builder trtriple action. it s lawnwn season. let s get to the yard.
so appreciative for everything that comes forward because, without it, my son wouldn t stand a chance. but seeing it and to hear hollingsworth say what he says, it s like part of their training is to stay that i m afraid, my life is in danger. i have to beat the hell out of him. t what he said. he took joy in it. you could see in the video as we go into our third year, they re still trying to create the narrative to lessen the charges that will be given. why do you go this long? and if the governor says, and all of them says we can t speak on this, we can t act on this, because of the investigation, but yet, still, you allow hollingsworth to be there in full accolades of a hero.
