Police offers were watching demonstrators. Defendant Doe 1 ordered officers to arrest Plaintiff. Defendant Doe 2 ran forward to reach Plaintiff, contacted her from behind, and pulled down on her sports bra. Defendant Doe then seized Plaintiff and, with Defendant Officer Bravo, placed her in restraints and arrested her. Defendants Collado and Doe 4 repeatedly attempted to propel Plaintiff head-first toward the pavement over another officer's extended leg by suddenly applying force to her neck so that she would trip and fall. Defendants Does 1-4 and Bravo placed Plaintiff in over-tight wrist restraints intended to case her pain for 15 minutes until the cries of Plaintiff led the officers to loosen the restraints. Plaintiff was held in an unventilated, overheated van for 5-6 hours without food, water, or facilities to relieve herself. Plaintiff was released 8 hours after her false arrest. The criminal action against Plaintiff was terminated in her favor and without conviction.\nOn January 1, 2012, Plaintiff was engaging in peaceful protest. NYPD police escorted Plaintiff and other demonstrators, granting them permission to march along the sidewalk and failing to give them fair warning of the alleged unlawfulness of doing so. NYPD began making random arrests for no lawful reason. Officers Gonzalez and Mascari, supervised by Sergeant Kaszovitz, seized Plaintiff, slammed her against a wall, placed her hands in restraints, and arrested her. Plaintiff was released six hours later and charges terminated in her favor and without conviction.\nOn June 17, 2012, Plaintiff was engaging in peaceful protesting. Officers Does 5-8 and Nieves, under the supervision of Sergeant Nieves, seized Plaintiff, placed her in restraints, and arrested her.
