Ofc. Ortiz instructed plaintiff to \"move along.\" Plaintiff asked why, and Ofc. Ortiz said \"because I said so.\"  Plaintiff expressed concern with that response, and Ofc. Ortiz then said that people had called the police. He said that plaintiff would be \"locked up\" if he did not move. Without further warning, Ofc. Ortiz handcuffed and arrested plaintiff. He applied the handcuffs so tightly that plaintiff was in pain. He could not stand or sit up straight because the handcuffs were so tight. Lt. Zurita, Ofc. Gordon, and Ofc. Brown observed this and did not intervene. Officers then searched plaintiff's person and backpack and found nothing illicit. They took him to the precinct. On the way, Ofc. Ortiz was agitated, pointing at people of color standing outside along the way and saying \"I am telling you motherf**ers all the time to move from here.\" Plaintiff complained about the handcuffs and officers said they would take care of it when they got inside, but they did not. Plaintiff was placed in a cell with no explanation. Plaintiff was released from the cell and given a summons charging him with disorderly conduct. His case was dismissed on October 13, 2015.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.456855/gov.uscourts.nysd.456855.29.0.pdf","type":"complaint"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4922577-Tucker-v-City-Of-New-York-et-al"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4357022/tucker-v-city-of-new-york/"}],"payroll":{"salary":"109352","regular":"26719","overtime":"3771","other":"24216","total":"54707"},"id":"GJC5","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/GJC5"}
