A former police officer in St. Louis, USA, was beaten by his fellow officers when he was mistaken for a protester during an undercover mission. Recently, a local court ordered the police to compensate him US$23.5 million.
According to the British "Guardian" report on the 17th, in 2017, a police officer in St. Louis killed a black man while on duty, triggering large-scale local protests against the police. In order to collect intelligence on these protesters, the police sent Luther Hall, who was a police officer at the time, as an undercover agent to infiltrate the protest groups and participate in various activities with them. But on his way back to the police station, Hall was stopped by three police officers and pushed to the ground. They also beat him with a baton, causing many injuries to Hall's body and suffering from traumatic stress disorder. After the
incident, Hall took the three police officers to court. The latter were sentenced to 4 years, 1 year and 1 day of imprisonment and probation respectively. In addition, the court also ordered the police to pay Hall $23.5 million in compensation. . (Liang Youzhi)▲
