“Hold up. Hold up, y’all. Hold up. Hold up, everybody, hold up. We’re red right now, so if you guys are worried about cameras, just wait,” SLMPD Officer Kelli Swinton is heard saying in the tape.
A camera mounted to a police cruiser in St. Louis, Missouri has captured footage revealing a cop to have stopped its recording process, moments after realizing that it had filmed her colleagues kicking a man.
Attorneys for the man caught being kicked have released the footage recorded from a St. Louis Police Department cop cruiser last year that they say is enough to prove their client was wrongfully arrested and abused by officers of the law.
The dashcam footage released this week documents the moments leading up to the April 10, 2014 traffic stop that ended with 18-year-old Cortez Bufford being dragged from his automobile and repeatedly kicked by police officer and stunned with a Taser.
