Defendants did not identify themselves as poilice officers. Defendants chased Plaintiff and shot him in the back without previous warning. Defendants dismissed two eyewitnesses to the event. When the ambulance arrived, Defendant Detective instructed the EMTs not to load Plaintiff up for care but wait until a police vehicle arrived. As a result, Plaintiff was left lying unclothed with a gunshot wound in the street for 20-30 minutes. Plaintiff was taken to a hospital, but the police did not allow his family to visit or provide him clothes during the week-long stay. \n\nOn January 25, 2012, Defendant Physician approved the Plaintiff's premature release from the hospital into police custody. In custody the next day, Defendant intentionally denied Plaintiff his prescribed medications and exposed him to inclement weather wearing only socks and a hospital gown. Plaintiff had to be taken back into hospital care on account of complications in his condition resulting from this outrageous treatment in police custody.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.351395/gov.uscourts.nyed.351395.47.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/5709885/freire-v-zamot/"}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22119122-930416_02182016_2016073pdf","date":"2016-02-18T00:00:00.000Z","type":"trial-decision"}],"id":"CRBM","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/CRBM"}
