Bodycam video shows shackled motorist Ronald Greene was ordered facedown during deadly arrest

Beaten and shackled by Louisiana state troopers, Black motorist Ronald Greene desperately tried to roll over in what may have been a struggle to breathe but was ordered to stay on his belly, according to body-camera video released by the Louisiana State Police.

A long-secret autopsy report, obtained by the Associated Press, cited Greene's head injuries and the way he was restrained as factors in his 2019 death. It also noted he had high levels of cocaine and alcohol in his system as well as a broken breastbone and a torn aorta. "I beat the ever-living f--- out of him, choked him and everything else trying to get him under control," Trooper Chris Hollingsworth can be heard telling a fellow officer in the newly released batch of video. "All of a sudden he just went limp. ... I thought he was dead."
