The mother of Ronald Greene, a barber who died after a violent confrontation with Louisiana State Police, said Saturday that the release of body camera video of her son's arrest has left her "hurting so bad."

The Associated Press on Wednesday published edited body camera footage from Greene's arrest on May 10, 2019, following a pursuit that may have started with Greene driving erratically, including allegedly running a red light, according to audio from the video.

Louisiana State Police Supt. Lamar A. Davis on Friday officially released nine body camera and dash camera videos of Greene's arrest outside Monroe, Louisiana.

Mona Hardin, the mother of Greene, 49, said in an interview Saturday with NBC News that seeing the video was painful. Before this week's public release of video, she had viewed some body camera footage "in a very controlled environment," said her attorney, Lee Merritt.
