He had come outside to pick up his nephew, who was being dropped off by plaintiff's father. At this moment, a police car pulled up and defendant officers exited the vehicle. They said they were issuing a parking ticket to plaintiff's father. Mr. Stewart attempted to explain, in a reasonable fashion and from a distance away, that his father was simply dropping off his nephew. The defendants responded by demanding identification from Mr. Stewart. WHen Stewart asked why his ID was needed, a defendant officer wearing a white shirt said, in sum, “fuck it, take him.” With that, defendants approached Mr. Stewart and violently closed the car door on plaintiff’s young nephew. As defendants pushed Mr. Stewart, who was not resisting in any fashion, against his father’s car, the white-shirted defendant removed his asp (baton) and threatened plaintiff with it. Defendants never issued Mr. Stewart's father any ticket. When Mr. Stewart asked why he was being arrested, the white-shirt officer responded by taking out his Taser\nand saying, in sum, “shut the fuck up, if you keep talking I’m gonna tase you.”  At the precinct, Mr. Stewart was strip searched. Defendants falsely informed employees of the Bronx County District Attorney’s Office that Mr. Stewart had obstructed governmental administration, committed false personation and resisted arrest. Mr. Stewart, who is asthmatic and anemic, requested medical attention while at the precinct, but was denied the same. He was taken to Bronx central booking, where he was released 22 hours later on his own recognizance. The charges were dismissed.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.459183/gov.uscourts.nysd.459183.15.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4523973/stewart-v-doe-1-through-10/"},{"name":"Mitchell, Tobias vs P.O.
