Louisiana trooper quietly buried amid scrutiny over Black man's death

A Louisiana state trooper who died in a single-car crash just hours after he was told he would be fired for his role in the death of a Black man was buried with honors Friday at a ceremony that authorities sought to keep secret out of concerns it would attract a mass protest.

Hollingsworth, who was white, was the only one of six troopers placed on leave earlier this month in the May 2019 death of Greene following a high-speed chase. Police initially told Greene’s family he died from injuries in a crash but later acknowledged troopers “struggled” with him during the arrest. Greene’s family has filed a federal wrongful-death suit alleging troopers “brutalized” him, shocked him three times with a stun gun and left him “beaten, bloodied and in cardiac arrest.

On Friday, mourners, many in dress-blue trooper uniforms, packed the New Chapel Hill Baptist Church where Hollingsworth had been a member, filling its parking lots to capacity on a misty and overcast day. The plans underscored the growing tension in communities around the country where demonstrators have taken to the streets to protest racial injustice and the killing of Black people by police.While no protests materialized at the funeral, several dozen people gathered later in the day outside the Governor’s Mansion in Baton Rouge to denounce “violence or death at the hands of law enforcement officers.

glad no one seems to be taking masks seriously in that picture, assuming it is recent

...the eternal fraternal...smh

If the left really wanted to save lives, they'd encourage everyone to not resist arrest. Instead, they spread the message of resist which leads to hundreds of deaths every year, and then they protest and riot even though they encourage the behavior. BlackLivesMatter DontResist
