That evening, Plaintiff was present in his capacity as a community organizer, pursuant to reports from community members about severe increases in police harassment since COVID-19 restrictions were put into place. As Plaintiff and the other man were leaving an area where there had been a vigil for a child who had died, they saw two plainclothes officers driving slowly in an unmarked car, staring and slowly starting to follow them. Eventually, Plaintiff and the other man pulled out their cell phones to record, fearing police harassment. They were then forcibly stopped by the officers, without any requests or commands relating to a search or a stop. One officer approached Plaintiff, said nothing, grabbed his cell phone out from his hand, began pushing him, and threw his phone to the ground. The officer had his hand on his gun and continuously told Plaintiff to back up. The officer then left Plaintiff and went to where the other man was being restrained. The officers committed a violent assault and takedown of the other man, grabbing him forcibly by a chain around his neck, beating and kicking him, and pulling his coat over his head. The man was pepper sprayed, arrested, and taken to a police station, while still wearing a mask filled with pepper spray. One NYPD officer involved in the stop, harassment, initiation and persistence of the use of force and the arrest was (later retired) NYPD Lieutenant Eric S. Dym. The officers selectively applied enforcement practices in an intentionally discriminatory and race-based manner. \n\nAfter waiting for hours, the man eventually received medical attention, and later received a desk appearance ticket. The case was later dismissed. Plaintiff and the other man experienced pain and suffering, including physical injury, anxiety, fear, and stress, from the officers’ unprovoked attack. The man has later died, for reasons unrelated to the incidents that are the subject of the complaint, but three surviving descendants and dependents of his are plaintiffs in this case.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.595080/gov.uscourts.nysd.595080.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/66961843/murphy-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Suarez, Ivelise et al. vs City of New York et al.","start_date":"2019-01-24","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"","docket":"020464/2019E","court":"Supreme Court - Bronx","officer_name":"Moynihan, Shawn P.","summary":"On or about December 19, 2017, in the Bronx, Defendants NYPD Officers Shawn Moynihan, Mariela Ortega, and John/Jane Doe I-4 jointly and severally in their capacity as police officers, wrongfully touched, grabbed,  tased, handcuffed in an excessively tight fashion, and seized the Plaintiff IVELISE SUAREZ, causing her physical pain and mental suffering.
