Plaintiff said he did not have a gun. Defendant handcuffed Plaintiff and searched him 3 more times, each time aggressively grabbing Plaintiff's genitals. Plaintiff was turned to face an unmarked car and said that the person in the car identified him as not the shooter and then was put in a police vehicle. Plaintiff complained that the handcuffs were too tight but Palmer refused to loosen them. Plaintiff was taken to the 28th Precinct where he was searched again. Plaintiff was taken to the pen and told to remove his shoelaces and hoodie strings. Defendants Santiago and Sanchez took Plaintiff to a back room and Santiago forced Ross to strip his clothes and Santiago told him to take everything off including his socks. Plaintiff asked why he had to strip and Santiago threatened to taser Plaintiff if he refused. Plaintiff removed all of his clothes. Santiago told Plaintiff to turn around, squat, spread his butt cheeks and cough in front of other Defendants.
