Mona Hardin, the mother of Ronald Greene made remarks Thursday evening after criminal charges were handed down against five law enforcement officers who were at the scene when her son was beaten and tased by cops before he died in May of 2019.
She had harsh words for state leaders for allowing state police to continue their behavior and mistreatment of people of color.
One of the officers that were involved has since died but of the five officers who have been charged four face Malfeasance in Office and three face Obstruction of Justice. Legal Analyst Tim Meche feels the charges don’t match the crime.
Only one officer is charged with negligent homicide, which carries a maximum sentence of five years.
