Governor @LouisianaGov this man, Ronald Greene died in an interaction with Louisiana State Police. This has been brought to your attention.
The public needs to see what took place last year. A federal lawsuit spells out details of the alleged encounter between Ronald Greene
and a handful of Louisiana state troopers in the Monroe area. The lawsuit states Greene was driving a car on US 80 in Monroe when a trooper attempted to initiate a traffic stop. Greene did not stop until his car crashed into a wooded area. When Greene exited the vehicle,
the lawsuit says Greene began to apologize to the officers.
"Two officers pinned Greene down on the ground while he screamed, 'oh my god.' Greene was moaning, begging the officers to stop and repeatedly saying, 'I'm sorry,'" the lawsuit said.
Greene was tased at least three times according to the lawsuit and died on the way to the hospital.
"Police personnel told Greene's family that he had been killed in an auto accident," the lawsuit reads.
You have the power as the governor of this state to give us transparency
and deal with this matter.
Release the tapes governor It is unacceptable that you have not watched the video now that all these reports are out that #RonaldGreene was possibly murdered by state troopers who covered it up.
Email or call Governor Edwards to take immediate action on the case of Ronald Greene Governorjohnbeledwards@la.gov.

The reason he said “they are taking Black jobs” is because Trump doesn’t believe in hiring Black people in top positions.
How many Black judges did Trump appoint? 9
How many Black judges did Biden appoint? 59
How many Black cabinet appointments did Trump have? 1 Ben Carson.
How many Black cabinet appointments did Biden have? 6 including VP. Next in line for the job.
Why does this matter? If there are no Black people in these positions, then our perspectives and experiences aren’t in the room to be considered.
The president appoints about 3600 people in key government positions only 1200 require senate confirmation. These are the people who run the government. It’s why Trump and his people in Agenda 47 say they want to “purging federal bureaucracy” which means fire government employees.
I know most of us don’t really understand the depths of how government works, but those of us who do are telling you this is not a drill.
Trump doesn’t value Black people and he showed that in his first term by only appointing 1 Black person to a job in his cabinet.
He doesn’t believe leadership and judging the nation is a Black job… he’s already proven this. If you’re voting for Trump and you’re Black you just ignore facts.

That means for every 10 Black people you see this weekend, only 1 of them voted.
There are 942,000 registered Black voters in Louisiana. If you want change share this & let’s move them.
We rank #50 in the nation.
#48 in education
#46 in healthcare
#47 in opportunity
#50 in crime
While Mr. Call a Crackhead @SenJohnKennedy collects a government check while doing nothing to make Louisiana better.
We can force a runoff if Black voters show up in masses.
A year ago @lukemixonla called me to tell me he was running for the U.S. Senate. I asked him how would he get the Black vote. He stumbled around with his answer because he had no plan to get Black voters.
Today he dropped a ad with a fake New Orleans accent pandering to Black voters in New Orleans.
When people ask me why I ran, it’s because I’m tired of people like Luke Mixon taking my community for granted.
As it stands we have Mr. Call a Crackhead on the right showing only Black people in his ad. Now we have Luke using paid Black voices because he hasn’t actually worked to earn the Black vote.
As a Black man in America I’ve never feared my Muslim brothers and sisters.
It was young white men who hung my ancestors. It was young white men who became cops & got away w murdering us.
The biggest threat to Black liberty has always been white men.
Even the gun violence in the hood.
Who created the ghetto? Who redlined Black people into housing projects, paid us unfair wages, gave our tax dollars to their communities while starving ours?
White men did. Those are facts. If you don’t like those facts, change your ways!
Black people being killed in the grocery store for being Black, I don’t have time to be politically correct to save the feelings of white men when Black bodies are dropping in this nation everyday.
The cancer of America has always been racist white men & women. They exist.
