US police release footage of Black man’s violent 2019 arrest

Ronald Greene was shackled, beaten and forced to stay face-down during arrest in Louisiana, body-camera footage shows.

Police in the US state of Louisiana have released footage showing the violent arrest two years ago of a Black man who was dragged out of his car, shackled and beaten, renewing calls for an end to police violence against Black people in the United States. The Associated Press news agency earlier this week released previously unseen body-camera footage showing Louisiana state troopers stunning, punching and dragging Ronald Greene as he apologised for leading them on a high-speed chase. The May 2019 arrest outside Monroe, Louisiana, is the subject of a federal civil rights investigation.
