P.O.s Jeremiah S. Williams and Jozsef A. Tass pulled up next plaintiff in an unmarked vehicle dressed in plain clothing and hopped out of their car with their weapons drawn.  They did not identify themselves as officers.  P.O. Williams opened plaintiff's door, threw him to the floor, and jumped on top of him.  P.O. Tass punched plaintiff in the face and also jumped on him.  P.O. Williams checked plaintiff's pockets.  Three other officers, Michael T. Obrien, Brandon A. Ravelo, and Miguel E. Sanchez, also arrived in an unmarked vehicle.  P.O. Williams yelled to the others that plaintiff was resisting, and then P.O.s Obrien, Ravelo, and Sanchez jumped on plaintiff as well. Some of the officers were grabbing plaintiff's legs and punching his torso and face, while P.O. Tass had him in a headlock.  Plaintiff felt a blow to the back of his head and lost consciousness.  He woke up and felt a sharp pain in his left hand while P.O.s Williams and Tass were throwing him in the back of their unmarked vehicle.  They took plaintiff to the 47th Precinct, where plaintiff told the captain about the assault and showed him the bone sticking out of his hand.  Plaintiff was brought to the hospital and then back to the precinct, where he was interviewed by Internal Affairs.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.457263.2.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4357083/allen-v-williams/"},{"name":"Lopez, Anthony vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2017-08-10","disposition_date":"2018-05-22","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"Zero Disposition","docket":"17CV04223","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"O'Brien, Michael","summary":"On July 17, 2014, Plaintiff’s apartment was searched by police officers with a search warrant for 108-25 154th Street, obtained by fraud through providing information to their “informant” and directing the “informant” to report it as his/her own before a judge. Plaintiff, prior to this date, spoke to an NYPD officer on behalf of a member of Plaintiff’s family who had found a shotgun and a handgun in their home, to make initial arrangements with the NYPD to set up a neighborhood gun buyback. Plaintiff’s dog had been prescribed medication that had to be administered by syringes. Plaintiff was charged with criminal possession of two firearms and ammunition after the search. The officers and the DA falsely claimed to have discovered cocaine and heroin, as well as the syringes during the search and refused to consider the exculpatory evidence of documentation from a veterinarian for the syringes. They also ignored Plaintiff’s claim that the firearms were to be turned to the NYPD. The DA threatened Plaintiff to plead guilty, and intentionally refused to investigate the claims and evidence by the NYPD by telling Plaintiff to never bring it up again or he would jeopardize any possible positive resolution of his case. Plaintiff eventually pled guilty due to the pressure.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.404471/gov.uscourts.nyed.404471.16.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6123629/lopez-v-city-of-new-york/"}],"id":"EPSZ","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/EPSZ"}
