Never-before-published footage shows why: 2 #Louisiana #sheriff’s deputies pummeled the naked 25-yr-old, flinging him around the DeSoto Parish Detention Center laundry room while landing a flurry of 50 punches.
In the aftermath of the 2019 #assault, 1 of the deputies resigned & the other was suspended. Internal records show the sheriff’s office concluded “there was no way of defending” the deputies’ actions.
Yet, that’s just what the #LouisianaStatePolice did.
A brutal #beating by deputies was caught on tape. They were cleared by state #police anyway.
The strip search lasted just 6 minutes, but when it ended, Jarius Brown had a broken nose, fractured eye socket & a badly swollen face.

In 2019, #RonaldGreene was brutally beaten by officers of the #LouisianaStatePolice after a vehicular pursuit, later dying of injuries he sustained. LSP didn’t really acknowledge the incident until the #AP released leaked footage, which started a process that saw multiple officers charged in December 2022. Greene’s mother, #MonaHarden will be present at Tuesday’s #StateOfTheUnion address, highlighting the need for #accountable #policing.
