Mona Hardin, mother of Ronald Greene.
The mother of Ronald Greene, the motorist who was killed while in the custody of the Louisiana State Police, held an emotional press conference today to address the latest developments in this tragedy. Mona Hardin had harsh words for the troopers involved, none of whom have been arrested, in connection with her son’s death.
“For those that’s been in denial, those who had their hands on my son, you literally beat and tortured my son to death,” she said. “And you took pleasure in it, without no human emotion, except the fact that you wanted to wash your hands of his blood.”
Ms. Hardin says that fault lies not only with the State Police, but with Governor Edwards, and prosecutors; and that their inaction and lack of concern has angered her and her family as they seek justice for her son.
“I’m sickened,” said Hardin. “I’m so damn pissed. I’m so angry behind every level, at the state of Louisiana, the governor, and all them that runs around him. You’re okay with letting my family suffer, but we’re not.”
She restated her claim that Governor Edwards allowed Greene’s killing to be characterized as an accident, knowing he was killed by troopers. Hardin says she will not rest until all responsible are held accountable for their roles in the death of her son.
“(Governor) Edwards, (John) Belton, all these state troopers, all these top brass…none of you are above the law,” she said. “You are okay with the narrative you wanted to spin on my son’s murder. But you’re not above the law. We’ve come to this point and we will get results.”
