Moments before this incident, NYPD officers were apparently in the process of arresting another individual not associated with Plaintiffs. Defendant police officers had taken a female and pushed her against the trunk of Plaintiff Benoit’s vehicle as he sat in it with the motor running. Startled, Benoit’s foot hit the gas. The car did not move. In response, Defendant officer angrily ran over to the driver’s side of the vehicle, pulled out his weapon, and said, “Don’t fucking move.” A second Defendant officer then pulled Plaintiff Benoit out of his vehicle and threw him to the ground. Immediately, a number of officers proceeded to jump on Plaintiff Benoit’s back, and one officer kicked him in the face. Plaintiff Adetimirin started to video this assault with his cell phone but was grabbed by a Defendant officer and tackled to the ground. Both Plaintiffs were arrested. Plaintiff Adetimirin was held for a few hours before being given a summons charging him with Disorderly Conduct. After approximately seven hours in custody, Plaintiff Benoit was released from Central Booking with no charges being formally brought against him. Both plaintiffs sought medical attention for their injuries. On or about May 8, 2013, Plaintiff Adetimirin’s charge of Disorderly Conduct was dismissed by a judge.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.347073.11.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4322863/benoit-v-the-city-of-new-york/"}],"discipline":[{"disposition_date":"2024-05-20","case_no":"2024-30628","recommendation":"A-CD,                                                                                                                                                                                                             training","allegations":[{"desc":"Bias-based policing."}]}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24441170-bronx-notified-officers-list-edited_redacted-redacted_redacted","type":"credibility-finding"}],"payroll":{"salary":"118056","regular":"117719","overtime":"1277","other":"23386","total":"142382"},"id":"NDC7","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/NDC7"}
