Police dash cam video released as a result of a lawsuit claiming excessive force appears to show St. Louis police officers allegedly beating up Cortez Bufford before one of the cops tells another officer to “hold up” so they can turn the video off.
According to ABC News:
The incident happened in April 2014, when Cortez Bufford was pulled over, accused of speeding and making an illegal U-turn, Bufford’s attorney Joel Schwartz told ABC News.
The officer “pulls Cortez to the side,” Schwartz said. “He pulls over, the officer tells him to get out. You can hear him refusing, asking the officer what he did. The officer … gets angry, at some point he says he smells marijuana, and drags [Cortez] out of the vehicle … the officer took him to the ground.”
St. Louis police have not responded to ABC News’ request for comment.
