While plaintiff was walking home, the three defendant police officers were in an unmarked black car and began following the plaintiff in their car.  When the plaintiff was just a few blocks from his house, the three defendant police officers pulled up behind the plaintiff and got out of their car.  One of the officers yelled at the plaintiff to slow down, without making the plaintiff aware that he was a police officer.  Two of the officers walked up to the plaintiff and violently grabbed him from behind and threw him into the wall of a nearby building.  The third officer began punching the plaintiff on various parts of his body, and the other two officers joined in, hitting and kicking the plaintiff in various parts of his body as well.  The officers then threw the plaintiff to the ground and kneed, kicked, and punched him all over his body.  They scraped the plaintiff's hands on the concrete ground, causing severe bruises.  The officers handcuffed the plaintiff, who asked the officers why he was being arrested.  The officers told him that he had beat up a little girl.  Plaintiff was searched on the street, but nothing illegal was found on his body.  Then one of the officers lowered the plaintiff's pants and touched plaintiff's genitals for a few minutes.  Plaintiff was transported to the 44th Precinct, where he was processed and searched again - one of the officers again touched plaintiff's genitals. Plaintiff was detained until 8 PM on October 8, 2017.  Plaintiff was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, among other charges.  On February 14, 2019, all charges were dismissed.  \n\nIn a separate incident, on March 18, 2016 at approximately 1:30 AM, the plaintiff was arrested by defendant police officer Rattan and other unnamed officers near 235 2nd Avenue, New York, while walking on the street.   The officers violently grabbed the plaintiff and threw him to the ground, beaten and kicked all over his body, causing him to suffer injuries to his head and other parts of his body.  Plaintiff told the defendants that he had done nothing wrong and there was no reason to arrest or assault him on his birthday.  He was arrested on the street, searched, and nothing illegal was found on him.  Plaintiff was transported to the 13th Precinct, where he was later charged with criminal possession of marijuana in the fifth degree and resisting arrest.  He was released on bail.  On September 27, 2016, all charges were dismissed.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.511914/gov.uscourts.nysd.511914.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/14723065/perez-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Johnson, Keith vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2018-09-20","disposition_date":"2019-09-26","payout_amount":25000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"030709/2018E","court":"Supreme Court - Bronx","officer_name":"Brennan, Luke","summary":"On January 31, 2018 at approximately 7:00 p.m, Plaintiff Keith Johnson was unlawfully stopped, searched, assaulted, and detained by the defendants, the City of New York, New York City Police Department, Officer Guadalup Almeida, Officer Luke Brennan, and unnamed officers, John Doe and John Roe.
