A St. Louis judge has awarded nearly $23.5 million to a former police officer who was beaten by colleagues while working undercover during a protest in 2017
While I'm glad he was awarded the judgement, it's wild that an undercover cop gets 23.5 million, while tons of civilians are also beaten by police and receive much lesser judgements, if they're lucky enough to get anything at all...
The money they waste on police lawsuits they could have ended homelessness, fed every child and buy me a 1985 IROC-Z. What a waste for losing your cool.
The AP's shitty coverage doesn't even mention that the undercover cop who got severely beaten is black.
Cops beat a black undercover cop at a protest, because he was (a) black and (b) at a protest. Of course, cops routinely beat protesters, especially black protesters, but everyone who's beaten doesn't get a fat payout like this. Only cops, and only if they sue.
