Defendant police officers prevented the protest participants from ascending the steps of the New York State Supreme Court building. Although no disorderly conduct was being committed, politce Lt.

Plaintiff attempted to alert police officers that prohibiting access to the steps was unconstitutional, and as the officers continued to block access, plaintiff began chanting \"Treason!\" Without warning, officers grabbed plaintiff, forcing him away from the other demonstrators. Officers including PO Anthony Ciaramitaro arrested plaintiff and made false sworn statements charging him with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
