A dashcam video clip at the center of a lawsuit shows St. Louis police abruptly turning off the camera before they continue to assault an 18-year-old man, with one officer heard to announce, "Hold up, everybody, hold up. We're red right now, so if you guys are worried about cameras, just wait."

The video shows Cortez Bufford being dragged from his car before he is repeatedly shocked with a taser and kicked by officers.

At least seven officers pile on Bufford while he is being kicked and tased. Officers later claimed he was resisting arrest.

Although the struggle seems to be over and Bufford appears to be subdued, Officer Kelli Swinton approaches his colleague's patrol car before announcing to the other cops, "Hold up. Hold up, y'all. Hold up. Hold up, everybody, hold up. We're red right now, so if you guys are worried about cameras, just wait."
