Black state trooper in Louisiana faces termination after accusing colleagues of murder
Sun, October 17, 2021, 11:47 AM
Carl Cavalier openly criticized the department for making false statements about the death of an unarmed Black man back in 2019
A Louisiana state trooper, who gave a series of critical interviews about his colleagues’ involvement in the 2019 killing of Ronald Greene, said that he received a notice that he will be fired.
Carl Cavalier, 33, said that he spent months trying to get more information on Greene’s death, which officials said was the result of a high-speech chase which ended in a car accident.
But when a video of the incident was released two years later in May 2021, it showed troopers tasing, choking and beating Greene before he died in their custody. Cavalier publicly criticized their initial statement and said it was a “cover-up.”
“There are killers and there are people who are okay with the killers being on the job,” the trooper said to a local news station this summer. “And that’s the people who are part of the cover-up.”
Cavalier told CNN that he received a termination letter last week from Louisiana State Police (LSP) officials which said that he will be let go for violating department policies and procedures.
Cavalier, who has been with the force for seven years, filed a lawsuit against the department in September for ignoring his complaints about racial discrimination.

Greene’s death in 2019 was controversial due to glaring discrepancies in the police account.
After midnight on May 10, 2019, state trooper Dakota DeMoss tried to pull over Greene, 49, for an unspecified traffic violation. Instead of stopping, Greene accelerated and a high-speed chase ensued with the officer going over 115 mph.
LSP gave various statements about what happened next.
First, they told Greene’s family that he died after crashing into a tree. Then police said that he became unresponsive on the way to the hospital after struggling with officers. They also refused to release any body cam footage.
A coroner’s report stated that Greene, a barber, had suffered cardiac arrest that was caused by the crash. But it also mentioned he had a fractured breastbone and a rupture to his arteries.
The hospital staff who treated Greene, 49, however, said his body was battered and bruised and that he had two stun-gun marks on his back. “Does not add up,” one doctor wrote.
An autopsy also found that he had severe injuries to his head and face.

The Associated Press released the 46-minute bodycam footage on May 18, 2021, which showed the graphic details of the incident.
Greene, described as “heavyset” was immediately tased by officers before being wrestled to the ground and put in a chokehold. Officers then began punching him in the head and he was dragged face down along the pavement.
According to the Associated Press, there were at least six officers on the scene.
While Greene laid on the ground in agony, moaning and calling for help for more than nine minutes, the officers were seen wiping their bloody hands and faces with sanitizing wipes. One trooper is heard saying “I hope this guy ain’t got f—- AIDS.”
Greene eventually became unresponsive and was handcuffed to a stretcher once the ambulance arrived. He was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.
The video sparked outrage about police brutality and cover-ups by law enforcement.
"It was a cover up…just lies on top of lies," Mona Hardin, mother of Ronald Greene, says about police and the death of her son. "It's like a big old game, they don't give a damn about what the hell they're doing to people like us, to families like us." https://t.co/sriODgpleO

“We still have murderers, in my eyes, on the job,” said Cavalier, in one of many interviews he has done since the video leaked.
One of the troopers in the Greene arrest, Chris Hollingworth, was heard on the same video footage telling someone that he beat the “ever-living f—” out of Greene. The same day he learned that he would be fired for his role in the traffic stop, Hollingsworth died in a single-car highway crash in 2020.
The FBI launched a civil rights investigation into the LSP in July, which is still ongoing.
Although Cavalier states that he would like to keep his job because he would “love to continue to help people,” he is still pursuing his own case against the department.
LSP said that Cavalier violated the department’s policy on “Public Statement,” “Lawful Orders,” “Loyalty to the Department,” “Dissemination of Information,” “Seeking Publicity” and “Conduct Unbecoming an Officer.”

Five cops indicted for murdering Ronald Greene...about fucking time!
www.wafb.com
Five law enforcement officers involved in the May 2019 death of Black motorist Ronald Greene during a violent arrest have been indicted on state charges by a grand jury in Union Parish, Louisiana, according to reporting from CNN affiliate KNOE.
The grand jury decision was announced just before 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, according to KNOE, which had someone in the courtroom at the time.
Greene, 49, died after police said he resisted arrest and struggled with officers. His family, however, has said state police initially told them Greene died in a car crash after a police chase.
Greene’s family has filed a wrongful-death civil lawsuit against the troopers involved in the incident, as well as their superiors. The family is seeking damages for all medical and funeral expenses.
The troopers have maintained that Greene’s death was “caused by crash-related blunt force chest trauma that resulted in a fractured sternum and ruptured aorta” and said they used force “for their own personal safety and for the safety of the public,” according to court documents.
But video released two years after the May 10, 2019, incident showed officers kicking, punching and using a Taser on Greene before he died in their custody.
Earlier this year, the office of Gov. John Bel Edwards and the Department of Justice for the Western District of Louisiana contested an Associated Press report that suggested Edwards kept quiet for two years about what he knew of the night Greene died.
Edwards’ office has said that “neither the Governor nor anyone on the Governor’s staff has ever intervened or interfered in any criminal investigation, including the investigation into Mr. Greene’s death.”
Edwards has called the actions of the troopers that night “criminal” and “horrific.”
Videos of the arrest – released by the AP and then by the state police in May 2021 – revealed graphic details of the violent struggle.
Multiple body- and dash-camera videos from four responding officers offered insight into the encounter near the city of Monroe, including the car chase as well as the four-minute sequence between when police open Greene’s car and he is handcuffed on the ground.
Greene, in the video, is heard telling officers he is scared as at least two troopers try to drag him out of the vehicle.
There is a struggle as officers attempt to handcuff Greene. The videos show a trooper appearing to put Greene in a choke hold as they wrestle on the ground. Greene is then tased by one trooper as another restrains him.
Greene, face down on the ground, wails as a trooper sits on him, pressing his hand onto the back of Greene’s neck and punching him in the face, according to the video. Another trooper tries to handcuff him and punches his lower back, according to the footage.
The troopers appear to stop beating Greene after they handcuff and leave him on the ground face down. As they walk away, one says, “You stupid motherf****r,” as Greene cries out.
Audio from the body camera of one officer, Trooper Chris Hollingsworth, reveals a telephone exchange inside his patrol vehicle after the beating. He begins by saying Greene was drunk.
“And I beat the ever-living f*** out of him, choked him and everything else trying to get him under control and we finally got him in handcuffs when a third man got there and the son of a bitch was still fighting and we was still wrestling with him trying to hold him down because he was spitting blood everywhere,” the officer says in the video.
“And then all of a sudden he just went limp,” Hollingsworth says.
Hollingsworth was to be fired for violations regarding body-worn camera and car camera systems, use of force, performance, lawful orders and for conduct unbecoming an officer but died in a car crash before his dismissal.
Union Parish District Attorney John Belton said in October that he would present evidence related to Greene’s death to a grand jury starting last month. The US Justice Department is investigating Greene’s death for possible civil rights violations.
Grand jury indicts 5 law enforcement officers in deadly arrest of Ronald Greene
