Members of the NYPD surrounded the protestors upon their arrival. The first plaintiff in this action, a Black nonbinary person, was pushed off the sidewalk. NYPD officers utilized barricades to trap plaintiff and other protestors. Two unidentified officers threw plaintiff to the ground. Six officers then surrounded them as two officers beat and kneeled on plaintiff, putting pressure on their back. NYPD officers then forcefully removed plaintiff's glasses and jacket as another officer struck plaintiff's head. Plaintiff was thrown to the ground with so much force that they struggled to breath. Six officers dragged plaintiff across the sidewalk and injured their knee. At this point, onlookers began to record, and officers attempted to block onlookers from doing so as they continued to assault plaintiff. One officer then placed plaintiff in extremely tight zip-tie handcuffs which cut off circulation to plaintiff's hands resulting in significant pain. Officers placed plaintiff in a van to take them to the precinct. Eventually, plaintiff could no longer feel their hands. After communicating as much to the officers, it took them twenty minutes to remove the cuffs. By that point, the process of removal caused further pain and injury. The officers refused plaintiff's request to wear masks to protect against COVID and proceeded to mock and mis-gender plaintiff for the entirety of the ride to the precinct. At the precinct, officers denied plaintiff access to counsel or any phone use while in custody. Officers also deprived plaintiff of meaningful access to food, water, bathroom, soap, and basic hygiene. NYPD unnecessarily exposed plaintiff to risk of COVID by subjecting them to unsanitary conditions of confinement. The case against plaintiff was ultimately dismissed, but they still require medical and psychological treatment following these events. \n\nThe second plaintiff in this matter attended the same protest. Three unidentified NYPD officers used a metal barricade to shove and strike plaintiff as she stood on the public sidewalk. NYPD Officer David Johnson shoved her to the ground resulting in significant and lasting pain to her left shoulder and knee.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.578401/gov.uscourts.nysd.578401.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/63241483/brandon-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Vasile-Marian, Musii vs P.O.

Vasile-Marian and his friends were at the backyard of Vasile-Marian's apartment, 1425 Vyse Ave. of Bronx, barbecuing when a neighbor continued to come into Vasile-Marian's barbecue area. The neighbor then contacted the police, claiming that Vasile-Marian's brother pushed her. When the officers arrived, Vasile-Marian decided to assist the officers in the investigation as a translator for his brother as his brother does not speak English. When the officers asked Vasile-Marian to identify himself, he declined and returned home. The officers, however, followed him home and slammed the door open. Johnson, without warning, then negligently threw Vasile-Marian to the ground and along with another officer, pushed him to the ground, severely injuring him. As a result, Vasile-Marian suffered various physical injuries including an eye injury and a back injury, fear for his well-being inability, to work normally, and loss of money from medical expenses.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=Izh2zysf1MpesfMfYWNHIw==","type":"complaint"}]}],"discipline":[{"disposition_date":"2022-09-07","case_no":"2019-21376","penalty":"Instructions","recommendation":"Instructions","allegations":[{"desc":"Failed to obtain language interpretation services"},{"desc":"Improper entry of apartment"}]}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/NPSV-david-johnson.jpg","payroll":{"salary":"109352","regular":"70251","overtime":"0","other":"27441","total":"97692"},"socials":[{"url":"https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-johnson-76052013","type":"linkedin"}],"id":"NPSV","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/NPSV"}
