The defendants, including NYPD Officers Robert Klein, Norberto Tirado, Luis Salvador, Thomas Michaels, and Michael Diskin, unlawfully arrested, handcuffed, seized, and searched Plaintiff in an excessive manner about his person. On or about the above date, the officers transported Plaintiff to the 46th Precinct where he was illegally questioned and placed in a cell. At the 44th Precinct, the officers, including Officer Tirado, unlawfully and intentionally, using illegal methods, obtained a statement from Plaintiff after he had requested the assistance of counsel. Plaintiff never committed any crimes. The officers were aware at all times that they lacked probable cause to arrest Plaintiff. They used improper and suggestive identification procedures and coercion to unlawfully accuse and arrest Plaintiff of a crime they knew he did not commit. Officer Klein signed the criminal complaint, knowingly and falsely accusing Plaintiff of Murder in the Second Degree. Plaintiff was returned to the 44th Precinct before being taken to Central Booking, where he remained for 24 hours before arraignment. The officers testified in a fraudulent and misleading manner to ensure that he was indicted for murder. The officers falsely forwarded information that a witness observed Plaintiff fire a gunshot that struck Valentine Medina in the back to prosecutors so that a prosecution would be initiated against Plaintiff.  Plaintiff was sent to Rikers Island where he remained until he was acquitted of all charges after trial on March 27, 2018.","documents":[{"url":"https://web.archive.org/web/20240923202058/https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=d5jF7Njt8KIKmMI091h4FA==&__cf_chl_rt_tk=PXePlZiZTF1mu.0UMVT_TY2IixL4h2vJ_KM8RwalQQg-1727122858-0.0.1.1-5694","type":"complaint"}]},{"officer_name":"Klein, Robert P.","disposition":"Settlement","start_date":"2013-02-06","disposition_date":"2013-06-28","court":"Supreme Court - Bronx","docket":"300673/2013","name":"Nieves, David vs City of New York, et al.","payout_amount":9000}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21075314-daf-klein936874","type":"brady-giglio"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21015328-daf-klein936874","type":"brady-giglio"}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/GMFH-robert-klein.jpg","socials":[{"url":"https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-klein-48a20765","type":"linkedin"}],"news":[{"url":"https://www.nyc.gov/assets/ccrb/downloads/pdf/policy_pdf/issue_based/2020NYCProtestReport.pdf","title":"2020 NYC Protests","source":"CCRB","date":"2023-01-24"}],"id":"GMFH","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/GMFH"}
