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…

What are you talking about? They receive plenty of pepper spray, rubber bullets, high pressure water, and sometimes even lead
Don’t forget the espionage (dont bring your phones to a protest) and tear gas
Ill say it im not glad he got a settlement. He knew what he was doing going undercover at a protest and it was likely ‘try to entrap protestors’
Hopefully this case can be used as precedence going forward. Who the victim was shouldn’t play a role there.
