5月13日（路透社）——据州警方和媒体报道，路易斯安那州官员已与罗纳德·格林的家属达成一项暂定的480万美元和解协议。罗纳德·格林是一名手无寸铁的黑人司机，2019年5月在与警察发生暴力冲突后死亡。
官员最初称格林是在驾车过程中死亡，但2021年公开的随身摄像头 footage显示，白人警察在格林高速追车后撞车后，对戴着手铐的格林进行殴打。他还被戴着手铐的双脚拖着在地面拖拽，并在哭喊“我害怕”时遭泰瑟枪电击。

格林的死亡引发了一场关于警察暴力、尤其是针对黑人男性的全国性辩论，最终促成了2020年全美乃至全球范围内的“黑人的命也是命”抗议活动。
美联社周二晚间援引两名了解该协议的人士报道了此次和解的金额。
路易斯安那州州警方发言人凯特·斯蒂加尔中尉周三在一封电子邮件中表示：“目前无法讨论和解条款，因为程序尚未最终敲定。”
格林家属的律师未回应对置评的电话或电子邮件请求。

2022年，一个大陪审团起诉了五名路易斯安那州执法人员，罪名包括过失杀人、渎职等，涉及他们在格林死亡事件中扮演的角色，但这些指控后来被撤销。
2025年1月，就在乔·拜登总统任期结束前几天，司法部告知格林的家属，不会就此案提起联邦指控。
然而，同一周，司法部发布了一份报告，称“格林的死亡及其后续事件暴露了路易斯安那州州警的严重失职——过度使用武力、监督不当、培训无效以及问责机制崩溃”。
报告承认，警方在格林死后做出了一些积极的改革，但敦促进一步推进改革，例如改进培训，尤其强调在使用武力前优先采用侵入性更低的替代方案。

May 13 (Reuters) – Louisiana officials reached a tentative $4.8 million settlement with the family of Ronald Greene, an unarmed Black motorist who died in May 2019 after a violent confrontation with police officers, according to state police and media reports.
Officials initially said Greene had died while driving his car, but body-camera footage that was made public in 2021 revealed white officers beating Greene in handcuffs after he crashed his car following a high-speed car chase. He was also dragged across the ground by shackled feet, and stunned with tasers as he cried, “I’m scared.”

Greene’s death helped fuel a national debate over police brutality, especially against Black men, that eventually led to “Black Lives Matter” protests across the United States and worldwide in 2020.
The size of the settlement was reported on Tuesday evening by the Associated Press, citing two people with knowledge of the agreement.
The Louisiana State Police were “unable to discuss the terms of the settlement at this time, as the process has not yet been finalized,” said spokesperson Lieutenant Kate Stegall in an email on Wednesday.
An attorney for Greene’s family did not respond to a call or emailed request for comment.

A grand jury indicted five Louisiana law enforcement officers in 2022 on charges ranging from negligent homicide to malfeasance for their roles in Greene’s death, but those charges were later cut.
In January 2025, days before the end of President Joe Biden’s administration, the Justice Department told Greene’s family that they would not bring federal charges in the case.
That same week, however, the department released a report saying “Greene’s death and its aftermath demonstrated serious failures at LSP — excessive force, improper supervision, ineffective training, and breakdowns in accountability.”
The report acknowledged that police had made some positive changes after Greene’s death, but urged more reforms like improved training, particularly to emphasize less intrusive alternatives before employing force.
