Those defendants who did not touch plaintiff, witnessed these acts, but failed to intervene and protect plaintiff from this conduct.The individual defendant officers did not have an objective and/or reasonable basis to use any degree of force against plaintiff, since plaintiff was unarmed, compliant, and did not resist arrest. Plaintiff was physically injured as a result of the excessive use of force, and suffered numbness and marks to her wrists. Plaintiff asked the individual defendants to loosen the cuffs, but they did not. Plaintiff told the defendants that she was not a resident of the apartment but they ignored her and threatened to take her child to protective services if she did not inform them of criminal activity within the apartment.","documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4919330-Miyares-v-The-City-of-New-York-et-al"}],"docket":"11CV04297","officer_name":"Darryl S.
