| 0:00.0 | So you beautiful bastards. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show you daily dive into the news. |
| 0:05.9 | We have a lot of big news to talk about today, starting with how Louisiana cops killed a man, |
| 0:11.2 | covered it up, and now they're walking free. |
| 0:13.2 | Barely getting a slap on the wrist for one of the most brutal cases of police violence in recent memory. |
| 0:18.1 | So let's walk through it. Back in 2019, Ronald Green, who was a 49-year-old barber, he died after a high-speed chase with Louisiana police for a traffic |
| 0:24.6 | violation. With state troopers initially telling Green's family that he had crashed into a tree and |
| 0:28.5 | died on impact. But then they released a one-page statement clarifying that, no, actually he |
| 0:32.5 | resisted arrest, became unresponsive, and died on his way to the hospital. So understandably, people were like, one, that's vague, and two, why'd you change your story? But then for two years, the state police |
| 0:41.2 | refused to release any body cam videos, even as the public demanded. With it not being until |
| 0:45.3 | 2021 that the Associated Press obtained 46 minutes of footage that revealed the horrifying truth. |
| 0:50.2 | Several cops punched, kicked, choked, dragged, tased, and pepper sprayed green, who barely resisted until he died. |
| 0:57.0 | And to speak on the order of events, we learned that after the chase, two officers rushed Green's car, |
| 1:01.0 | and you can see him raise his hands and repeat, okay, okay, I'm sorry, over and over. |
| 1:05.0 | But almost immediately one cop tases him before he even gets out of the car or does anything with Green pleading, I'm your brother, |
| 1:11.2 | I'm scared, I'm scared. And then after Green gets out, one trooper wrestles him to the ground, puts him at a |
| 1:16.2 | chokehold, and punches him in the face while another calls him a stupid motherfucker. Meanwhile, |
| 1:19.7 | Green's wailing, I'm sorry as a trooper tases him again in his back and warns, look, you're gonna get it again if you don't put your fucking hands behind your back. And eventually they have him face down with his hands cuff behind his back and his feet shackled together, |
| 1:30.9 | which is then how he would remain for more than nine minutes struggling to breathe as a heavyset man. |
| 1:35.0 | Which is why at one point you see him trying to prop himself up on his side. |
| 1:38.1 | Then Trooper Corey York grabs the chain connecting his shackles and drags him backward all the while yelling. |
| 1:43.6 | Oh, sir. |
| 1:44.5 | Don't you turn over. |
