Louisiana prosecutors have dismissed a negligent homicide charge filed against a state trooper in the fatal arrest of Ronald Greene.
Authorities initially blamed Greene's death on a car crash, before long suppressed body-camera video showed White officers beating, stunning and dragging the Black motorist as he wailed, "I'm scared!"
The probe was opened following reports of systemic racially biased arrests, violence and targeting.
The troopers also exchanged 14 text messages in which they boasted about the beating and mocked Harris.
Three years after Greene's death, Trooper Chris Hollingsworth's internal affairs interview stands as a defiant, haunting voice from the grave.
