Mother of Ronald Greene expresses her frustration that still no one has been held accountable for her son’s death

Mona Hardin, mother of Ronald Greene addresses lawmakers November 14, 2022.

On the same day a grand jury convenes in North Louisiana to consider charges against state troopers in the 2019 beating death of Black motorist Ronald Greene, his mother Mona Hardin addresses lawmakers at a legislative committee investigating Greene’s death.

“I don’t have the pretty words; I don’t have anything other than what happened to Ronnie was murder. What should have happened is not a damn thing,” Hardin expressed.

Three and a half years later Hardin said those who’ve come forward about the coverup of her son’s death were extremely brave but yet no one’s been held accountable.

“Everyone was literally petrified to take the necessary precautions to fire these badass cops, but the fact that no one wants to hold anyone accountable says the significance of how deep this organized crime is,” said Hardin.

Hardin said she’s been in touch with other families who’ve lost a loved one from police brutality and yet nothing has been done to correct the issue. She said since Greene’s murder, she remains in denial and a trance to cope with his brutal death.

“I’m sick to my stomach, just thinking that I’m just still hoping that someone will pay for the murder of my boy,” said Hardin.

The last legislative committee meeting investigating Greene’s death was held in June.
