Plaintiff instructed his cousin to start recording the actions on a cell phone, remaining a safe distance from the officers. At that time, Defendant Maloney and one other named Defendant pointed at Plaintiff and directed defendants Cheung, Shouldis, Ambrecht, and one other Defendant to walk toward Plaintiff. Defendant officers instructed Plaintiff and his cousin to move back, with which they complied, with Plaintiff raising his hands over his head as he stepped back. Defendant officers failed to inquire whether Plaintiff or the cousin were essential workers, and Defendants Cheung, Shouldis, Ambrecht, and one other grabbed and tackled Plaintiff to the ground, later joined by Maloney, Dones, Collarini, Cary, and Matos. Multiple Defendants, including Dones, Carey, Shouldis, Maloney, Cheung, Ambrecht, Collarini, and Matos, beat Plaintiff about the torso and legs, twisted his arms behind him, and struck his head with a police baton or other blunt instrument. A defendant officer then knocked the cellphone used to record out of Ms. Kiyee's hands and then subjected her to excessive force and false arrest. Officers believed to be Collarini and Shouldis, after handcuffing Plaintiff and placing him face down on the ground, punched Plaintiff multiple times in the back. Plaintiff was then transported to the 6th Precident and was given a summons for curfew violation.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.559036/gov.uscourts.nysd.559036.98.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/59852396/kye-v-ohare/"}],"discipline":[{"disposition_date":"2024-05-02","case_no":"2022-25406","recommendation":"Command Discipline - B","allegations":[{"desc":"Wrongfully used physical force."}]},{"disposition_date":"2024-05-02","case_no":"2022-25410","recommendation":"Other","allegations":[{"desc":"Failed to prepare required reports."}]}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22085968-seh_958068","type":"employment-history"}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/UAPV-james-shouldis.jpg","payroll":{"salary":"118056","regular":"114067","overtime":"23990","other":"19697","total":"157753"},"news":[{"url":"https://www.nyc.gov/assets/ccrb/downloads/pdf/policy_pdf/issue_based/2020NYCProtestReport.pdf","title":"2020 NYC Protests","source":"CCRB","date":"2023-01-24"}],"id":"UAPV","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/UAPV"}
