Politicians are meant to represent and serve, not to cling to their powers. While it is in question, when or how much Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards knew about Ronald Greene’s death, his continued downplaying of what he knew is one of the reasons why Americans are losing faith in their elected politicians.
Accountability and responsibility are qualities that we expect from our public officials. As a high student currently learning about the American government, I would applaud any actions the Governor can take to cooperate with the law enforcement officer.
I hope that justice will be brought to those involved, no matter how delayed it might be. My sympathies are with the Greene family.
