A St. Louis police officer admitted to lying in an attempt to cover up for three colleagues (including her boyfriend) after they beat up a black undercover colleague they thought was a protester.

Officer Bailey Colletta initially claimed the black undercover officer was “brought to the ground very gently.” huffpost.com/entry/st-louis…

The officer says it was a “free for all” and that he was beaten "like Rodney King.” stltoday.com/news/local/cri…
St. Louis cops went wild on protesters that night and brutalized a journalist, cameramen, an Air Force captain and peaceful demonstrators.

But city officials have taken the ludicrous position that this was an isolated incident.

“…she then and there well knew that there was nothing gentle about the way in which L.H. was brought to the ground.” documentcloud.org/documents/6385…
