When the plaintiffs asked the defendants for an arrest warrant, the defendants flashed a piece of paper across them without allowing them to read it, which the plaintiffs found later to be false. The defendants then violently handcuffed one of the plaintiffs and pressed their knees onto the neck and back of the plaintiff also causing the plaintiff a fractured arm. The defendants then forcefully fingerprinted the other plaintiff and asked her to retrieve her identification from the basement of the building they were near. When inside, the defendants handcuffed the plaintiff and then tightened the handcuffs to intentionally cause injury to her and then used the plaintiff's braids to wrap around her neck and choke her. The defendants then violently dragged the plaintiff from the basement by her body parts. Without providing the Miranda rights, the plaintiffs were then interrogated and transported to the 73rd Precinct, where the plaintiffs were subject to invasive and intrusive procedures. The defendants also denied any requests for medical attention. One of the plaintiffs was transported to Kings County Central Booking where she was held for two days and began experiencing vaginal bleeding and cramping upon her release and resultantly suffered a miscarriage. The other plaintiff was required to be admitted to a hospital due to serious injuries caused by the defendants which included fractured bones and contusions.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=tdPIHbuj0slu68V9KIQfKg==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Josie, Mike vs The City of Ny, et al.","start_date":"2024-04-09","disposition_date":"2024-07-22","payout_amount":9500,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"24CV02476","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","summary":"On April 27, 2021, Officers Doyle, John Doe and Jane Doe #1-16 unlawfully entered the Plaintiff’s home without a warrant and rushed towards Plaintiff with their guns directly pointed at him yelling, grabbing, pushing, shoving, and pulling him in the process.
