A defendant officer opened the closed gate and walked in. Plaintiff questioned why the officer came through the gate. One of the defendants grabbed plaintiff by the shirt, threw him to the ground, twisted his arms and placed plaintiff in unnecessarily tight handcuffs. When plaintiff asked for the officer to loosen his handcuffs, the officer refused. One of the defendants intentionally twisted plaintiff's already broken finger while another defendant kneed plaintiff in the ribs. Gonzalez was present and did nothing to prevent plaintiff's unlawful arrest or use of excessive force. Defendants searched plaintiff and recovered no contraband. Defendants placed plaintiff under arrest. Plaintiff was transported to the 77th precinct. At the precinct, the officers falsely informed the Kings County DA they observed plaintiff committing crimes. Plaintiff was transported to Brooklyn Central Booking. After spending approximately twenty-six hours in custody, plaintiff was arraigned and received an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.345129/gov.uscourts.nyed.345129.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13049867/merritt-v-city-of-new-york/"}],"email":"michael.gonzalez6@nypd.org","phone":"917-863-4897","image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/SCLD-michael-gonzalez.jpg","payroll":{"salary":"109352","regular":"108510","overtime":"5242","other":"18894","total":"132646"},"id":"SCLD","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/SCLD"}
