The U.S. Justice Department is opening a sweeping civil rights investigation into the Louisiana State Police.
Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke made the announcement earlier this morning.
The investigation comes amid mounting evidence that the agency has looked the other way in the face of beatings of primarily Black men, including the deadly 2019 arrest of Ronald Greene.
The announcement of a “pattern-or-practice” probe comes more than three years after white troopers were captured on long-withheld body-camera video beating, stunning, and dragging Greene on a rural roadside near Monroe.
No one has been charged in the case.
