Louisiana State Police has released a statement following the newly announced charges against three former state troopers in connection with a 2020 pursuit in Franklin Parish.

According to an Associated Press report on Thursday, state prosecutors have charged three former Louisiana State Police troopers accused of beating a Black motorist, hoisting him to his feet by his hair braids and bragging in text messages that the “whoopin” would give him “nightmares for a long time.”

Former troopers Jacob Brown, Dakota DeMoss, and George “Kam” Harper were seen on body camera piling onto Antonio Harris following a high-speed chase in rural Franklin Parish, kneeing, slapping and punching him even though he had surrendered face down with his arms and legs splayed, the Associated Press reported.
