His request was refused and he was rear-cuffed with a single set of handcuffs that were affixed to a chain connecting [redacted] to four other prisoners. One of the other prisoners, [redacted] was located during the investigation and made allegations of his own. [redacted] stated that PO Kevin Tierney and PO Steven Schmitt, both of the 108th Precinct, used profanity when addressing the other prisoners and him as they were being brought outside (Allegations A and B). As [redacted] and the other prisoners were being loaded into the prisoner van, [redacted] 's left arm was pulled towards the van by the chain, causing his shoulder to be in excruciating pain. [redacted] screamed out very loudly and asked to be released from the chain. As [redacted] screamed, Lt. Frank Tarantola of the 108th Precinct charged out of the station house, said, \"Shut your fucking mouth!\" to [redacted] and then said, \"Get in the van. Sit the fuck down.\" (Allegation C) When [redacted] continued to scream in pain, Lt. Tarantola instructed a second officer to release [redacted] from the chain connecting him to the other prisoners. Lt. Tarantola then forced [redacted] 's injured arm behind his back with far more force than was necessary, putting him in excruciating pain (Allegation D). Officers then started to escort [redacted] into the station house. As [redacted] walked, an officer pushed him forward and he fell to the ground (Allegation E). Several officers then picked up [redacted] and carried him into the station house. As they did so, Lt. Tarantola threatened [redacted] with force, saying, \"You say two words on the way into that precinct, I'm going to crack your fucking skull open for you,\" and then repeating a similar statement to him (Allegation F).","witness_officers":[{"last_name":"Braszczok","first_name":"Wojciech","officer_id":"QZLR"},{"last_name":"Mckenna","first_name":"Kelly","officer_id":"KS53"},{"last_name":"Porter","first_name":"David","officer_id":"34L8"}],"id":200504190,"url":"https://www.50-a.org/complaint/200504190"}
