A settlement agreement says the family of a Black man who died while being punched, kicked and stunned by five white Louisiana State Police troopers during a roadside arrest has agreed to a tentative $4.85 million settlement. The Associated Press reviewed a copy of the agreement reached Tuesday in a federal wrongful death lawsuit filed by Ronald Greene's family. Two people with direct knowledge of the lawsuit who were not authorized to publicly discuss the agreement told the AP the settlement is subject to approval by the Louisiana Legislature. |
