Now the videos are seeing the light of day, and it’s up to all of us to help spread the word so this ends up as headline news!
The St. Louis Police and city officials don’t want you to see this video from four months before the Michael Brown shooting and Ferguson protests.
Back on April 10, 2014, another unarmed 18 year old, Cortez Bufford, found himself pulled over by police in St. Louis for allegedly “making an illegal u-turn.” Over the course of the next few minutes, a major scandal was borne, which the mayor has tried to cover up every since.
Watch the video below…
At about the 6:00 mark in the video, officer force Bufford out of his vehicle and begin beating him, tasering him and yelling that he should “remain still” and “stop resisting” all the while.
By 7:51 in the video, Officer Kelli Swinton approaches fellow officer Burkemper’s patrol car, as she loudly yells: “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.”
That’s when the audio cuts out, and the video abruptly ends only eight seconds later.
