STORYLINE:
Ronald Greene’s deadly arrest on a rural Louisiana roadside in 2019 sparked outrage after The Associated Press published long-suppressed body-camera video showing white state troopers stunning, beating and dragging the Black motorist as he wailed, “I’m scared!”
Yet five years on, a federal investigation into the case remains open with no end in sight.
Friday, about a dozen people gathered outside Federal Court in New Orleans to show support for Greene's family.
They say five years is too long for Greene's family and the public to not have more information about his death.
