The video lasted about 56 seconds. It wasn’t immediately clear who took the video, but it was shared on social media, prompting St. Ann to respond. The video is from the vantage point of a bystander passing the action Tuesday afternoon on a ramp from Interstate 70 to Interstate 170.

In the video, St. Ann officers surround a silver car. A St. Ann detective uses his forearm to smash the car’s passenger window. He then grabs the car passenger’s arm and shirt and pulls him through the window. The detective puts the man on the ground, where the man rolls onto his stomach, and another officer puts him in handcuffs.

On the video, a man off camera is heard shouting, “That’s abuse! Don’t worry, we’ve got it on tape.”

Jimenez said he has given the video to a police major in his department’s internal affairs office.

The major “viewed it multiple times and immediately cleared our officer of any wrongdoing,” Jimenez said.

Jimenez didn’t identify the detective. He said the officer “didn’t violently put (the suspect) down. He didn’t punch him, he didn’t kick him, he didn’t spit on him, he didn’t stomp on him. I appreciate whoever videotaped this because it cleared our officer.”
