The Officers forcibly removed Reel from the vehicle, slammed him to the ground and spread out his arms and legs to unlawfully search his person. The Officers proceeded to violently contort Reel's body, arms and wrists, as they rear handcuffed him in an excessively tight fashion without any probable cause or arrest warrant. \n\nAt precinct, Officer Kenny violently contorted Reel's free hand and wrist, as he\nhandcuffed it in an excessively tight fashion to the railing in the cell prior to being unlawfully seized and searched further. \n\nThe Officers ensured that Reel would be maliciously prosecuted and denied his right to a fair trial by submitting fabricated observations/statements to prosecutors. The false charges were dismissed on December 12, 2019.\n\nThe complaint also highlights a broader pattern of misconduct within the NYPD, asserting that such actions against Reel were not isolated incidents but indicative of systemic issues within the police department, leading to emotional and reputational harm. \n\nReel suffered physical injury, emotional trauma, and was subjected to false charges.","documents":[{"url":"https://web.archive.org/save/https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=4j5ARtRiAi0WuvKHkCXcIQ==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Tew, Ra'id vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2014-01-06","disposition_date":"2014-06-20","payout_amount":22500,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"13CV09190","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"Bryant, Francis","summary":"On October 4th, 2012, Plaintiff was in an \"Operation Clean Halls\" building as a guest of his then-girlfriend.
