NYPD officers surrounded the protesters on all sides and played a recording stating that protesters must disperse. NYPD Officer Jorge Garcia pushed Ms. York, who verbally expressed to Garcia that she couldn't move because she was trapped. Garcia ignored this information and continued pushing Ms. York on her shoulders and chest. At some point, an NYPD supervisor gave a command to arrest the protesters. Garcia and Officer John Doe 1 grabbed Ms. York and threw her onto the street, which caused her to fall and lose her cane. Ms. York was then handcuffed with zip-tie plastic handcuffs by Garcia while she was lying facedown on the ground. She was then picked up off the ground by officers who couldn't see, and then slammed into the side of the car by Officers John Does 2 and 3. \n\nJohn Doe 2 then searched Ms. York, grazing her genitals through her underwear with his hand multiple times. Ms. York cried and spoke up to state she was a transgender woman being inappropriately searched by male officers, but John Doe 2 ignored her, ridiculed her, and continued the search. John Doe 3 did not  intervene. John Does 2 and 3 placed Ms. York in an NYPD van and tightened her cuffs in an extraordinarily tight manner. Ms. York immediately experienced excruciating pain from the handcuffs and lost feeling in her hands. Ms. York repeatedly complained the cuffs were too tight, and the Doe Defendants ignored the complaints. At the precinct, officers repeatedly misgendered Ms. York by using he/him pronouns to describe her and bringing another man to her cell, despite her making explicitly clear that she is a woman. She was also severely dehydrated and only received a single small cup of water despite repeated requests.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.487626/gov.uscourts.nyed.487626.1.0_1.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/65599976/york-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Goris, Erving vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2017-09-14","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"","docket":"157813/2017","court":"Supreme Court - New York","officer_name":"Garcia, Jorge","summary":"On or about August 24, 2015 within Plaintiff's residence Sgts.
