Shouldn't the point be that the beating was unjustified, rather than that they didn't know he was a cop? This suggests that beating him, had he behaved in exactly the same way, would be justified if he were not a cop. How many other people were unjustifiably beaten but didn't have a badge?
yes, the police defense was they thought he was a protester. not a rioter or looter. that says the police can kill you for exercising a right. that's a felony.
So true other get beaten up even when complaying and its not fare that the system try and protect their own and find a way to not look bad should be like everybody else you messed up then you should pay dont matter who you are
because it is ok to beat protesters. notice how the police use beating protesters as a defense. not rioters or looters. they beat the protesters not the criminals.that's a felony.
the cops say they were there to beat protesters.not looters or rioters. they weren't there to stop crimes, they were there to bust protesters heads. that's a felony. and only dumb people yoyo's can't see it
@@yojodingy6334 That is not true you retard, Cops get preferential treatment in situations like this. Watch the civil rights lawyers channel and you'll see how hard normal people have to fight for justice. It is similar in DUI cases, cops get preferential treatment compared to normal civilians. Don't call others stupid when you're the one lacking a functional brain.
Great news 👏 now he can spend it helping the people he was ready to set up for a beating all the other times. Or are we just supposed to forget about that?
@@douglashoward4206 Thank you ,officers always say " no one is above the law" and " ignorance is no excuse" I think this also applies to law enforcement.
The issue is that they don't view themselves as PEACE OFFICERS they clearly make the distinction of being LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS. Words and Actions matter.
The first and most important question in this case will never be answered: If the officer who sued had been a uniformed officer that night, would he have beaten the sh__ out of those worthless rioters right along side his fellow officers? The answer to that question is most likely YES, in my opinion.
what about the protesters who beaten by the same police for exercising a right and having that right denied. the police defence in this is they have the right to beat innocent people exercising a right. that's a felony the cops are committing, in mass by orders.
All 5 are Guilty. Beating of Luther they knew who he. would be there working. Set up Assignment Find them All Guilty. Fire all of themGuilty. Low Down. Cowards

The settlement should come out of the police department funds and pension.
Shouldn’t be a surprise, St. Louis is a city steeped in racism.
5 mil huh
Where is the money for Daniel shavers family
And they’re surprised that people want police reform?
Hear this woman ! Why does she keep saying they mistook him for a protester ! Like it’s ok to beat protesters !
because it is ok to beat protesters. notice how the police use beating protesters as a defense. not rioters or looters. they beat the protesters not the criminals.that's a felony.
Why does an undercover cop who gets beaten by cops get money and everybody else just gets beaten???
Other people sue and get money too. Do you enjoy saying dumb, blatantly false things?
the cops say they were there to beat protesters.not looters or rioters. they weren't there to stop crimes, they were there to bust protesters heads. that's a felony. and only dumb people yoyo's can't see it

Let's have some prosecutions. Police need to be held to a higher standard as peace officers.
yes police as policy enforcers need to be held to the actual laws.

@@khismet Great point! 👍
I could care less about the settlement. Those "cops" need REAL jail time!
That's it 5 million? Really?
He should have gone them for more. Maybe bankrupt St. Louis they deserve it.
Is the money coming from the officers pensions?

A civilan would never get a settlement.
Those criminals.

Perfect news!!!! Thank you for the action!!!!! I hope. The judge will give severe punishment to all of those criminals!!!!
Thank God!! Now he has to live with disability and he must watch out for retaliation. Sad, so sad😕
