Prusayev drew his firearm, brandished pepper spray, and swung an extendable baton in retaliation against the protestors' message and choice to record the incident. Despite misconduct, Prusayev did not face any disciplinary action, and was given a favorable transfer months later. Plaintiffs allege Prusayev's actions resulted in bodily injury, pain, suffering, severe psychological and emotional distress and humiliation for them. \n\nPlaintiffs also allege Sergeant Prusayev intentionally put Plaintiffs in an imminent apprehension of an offensive contact by drawing three different weapons, and brandishing them and/or pointing them at Plaintiffs and the other protesters nearby with malice and anger. Plaintiffs also allege New York City is liable under state civil rights law for Prusayev's actions.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.478026/gov.uscourts.nyed.478026.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/63204371/velez-v-prusayev/"}],"discipline":[{"disposition_date":"2022-12-02","case_no":"2022-25660","recommendation":"Charges and Specifications","allegations":[{"desc":"Wrongful removal to a hospital."},{"desc":"Wrongfully discourteous to an individual known to the Department."},{"desc":"Wrongfully threatened to remove an individual to the hospital."},{"desc":"Wrongfully used offensive language."}]},{"disposition_date":"2022-08-23","case_no":"2021-23374","penalty":"B - Command Discipline, instructions, training, vacation days (5 days)","recommendation":"Other","allegations":[{"desc":"Displayed his firearm prior to using less lethal tactics."},{"desc":"Failed to wear a face covering while performing his duties in a public area."},{"desc":"Wore his duty jacket unzipped exposing in public his ballistic vest with unauthorized patches affixed to it."}]},{"disposition_date":"2022-06-29","case_no":"2022-25125","penalty":"A - Command Discipline","recommendation":"Command Discipline - A","allegations":[{"desc":"Wrongful search of a premises."}]},{"disposition_date":"2022-06-13","case_no":"2022-25900","recommendation":"Other","allegations":[{"desc":"Violated uniform rules."}]},{"disposition_date":"2022-06-07","case_no":"2022-25899","recommendation":"Charges and Specifications","allegations":[{"desc":"Wrongfully discourteous."},{"desc":"Wrongfully unholstered/displayed a firearm."}]}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21027766-prusayev-f589d9683c70a34a722964c5b17701a3e3d74b51","type":"brady-giglio"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21058679-prusayev-956184-07-13-21","type":"brady-giglio"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22085899-seh_956184","type":"employment-history"}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/GQDV-artem-prusayev.jpg","payroll":{"salary":"97894","regular":"97134","overtime":"35237","other":"22065","total":"154436"},"news":[{"url":"https://hellgatenyc.com/nypd-officer-who-brandished-gun-at-blm-protesters-avoids-a-trial","title":"NYPD Officer Who Brandished Gun at BLM Protesters Avoids a Trial","source":"Hellgate","date":"2022-08-10"},{"url":"https://brooklyn.news12.com/protesters-claim-nypd-officer-unnecessarily-flashed-gun-at-them","title":"Protesters claim NYPD officer unnecessarily flashed gun at them","source":"news 12","date":"2021-01-13"},{"url":"https://www.pix11.com/news/local-news/video-shows-nypd-officer-draw-his-firearm-when-confronted-by-protesters-about-mask-wearing","title":"Video shows NYPD officer draw his firearm when confronted by protesters about mask-wearing","source":"Pix11","date":"2021-01-13"}],"id":"GQDV","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/GQDV"}
