Major Trooper Christopher Hollingsworth has died after a single car crash in north Louisiana.
This trooper found out that he was being fired from state police for his actions in the death of Ronald Greene last year.
Some believe Hollingsworth ran his car off the road to avoid accountability.
The lawyers for Ronald Greene released the following statement: from Family Representatives Lee Merritt and Ron Haley on the death of Trooper Hollingsworth:
“Trooper Hollingsworth was one of the 7 officers under federal investigation in the brutal death of Ronald Greene. Trooper Hollingsworth’s family has the finality of knowing exactly how He died as their community mourns his loss. The family of Ronald Greene,
however, is still being denied the same finality by the State of Lousiana. We call on Governor Edwards to direct Attorney General Landry to release the body and dash came footage in order for the murder of Ronald Greene and subsequent cover up to be brought to light.
We also call for the immediate arrest of the remaining men responsible for this tragic and unnecessary death.”
Governor Edwards, the same people who guard you daily are responsible for the death of a citizen — your troopers killed Roland Greene,
you can’t throw this at everyone else. Release the tapes, show the citizens of this state what took place.
They lied, and if you fail to act Governor you are a part of the cover up as well.

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.
