ST. LOUIS — The City of St. Louis will pay $5 million to a Black police officer who was assaulted in 2017 by white officers while working undercover during a protest, according to a settlement agreement obtained by 5 On Your Side.
Officer Luther Hall was working undercover during the protests that followed the acquittal of a police officer who had been charged with the 2011 murder of a Black drug suspect.

This is from an older article that detailed how excited these scumbags were at brutalizing protesters
Three cops who expressed an eagerness to brutalize protesters unintentionally targeted the one person likely to get them arrested.
“Let’s whoop some ass,” Myers allegedly texted.
“The more the merrier!!!” Boone allegedly replied. “It’s gonna get IGNORANT tonight!! But it’s gonna be a lot of fun beating the hell out of those shitheads once the sun goes down and nobody can tell us apart!!!!” He went on to describe a fellow police officer as “a BIG OL black dude” who is “hands on,” and who is “basically a thug that’s on our side. It’s he and I that just grab fuckers and toss em around.” Later he described cops loading protesters onto prison buses while saying “Our streets,” in unison, mocking their chant. He added, “Did everyone see the protesters getting FUCKED UP in the galleria????? That was awesome.”
