Defendants (Police Officers) arrived later.  Defendants did a hasty investigation without talking with all the people involved in the incident and the key witness.  They ignored the bruises on the Plaintiff as a result of the incident and ignored her statements that she was the victim.  Nor did Defendants get an interpreter despite the fact that some people involved in the incident did not speak English at all (e.g., the ex-in-laws) or did not speak English very well (e.g., Plaintiff).  One of the Defendants, Vasquez, made a call  that Plaintiff was a perpetrator and restrained and arrested Plaintiff in a baseless arrest.  Vasquez (male) took ahold of Plaintiff (female)’s arm into the elevator despite the fact that Plaintiff is handcuffed (by P.O. Vasquez) and was already held by two female cops.\n\nIn the precinct, Plaintiff interacted with Defendant Gigante, who, in sum and substance said to Plaintiff: “We know you didn’t do anything, but once we ‘cuff you, we have to arrest you and take you in.”  Defendant Gigante also told Plaintiff that she was “sorry” many times, both at the time of arrest, then in the police station and then when Plaintiff was taken outside to a police car to be taken to the Kew Gardens Courthouse for arraignment.  Defendant Gigante also said more than once that Plaintiff could sue the City for what had happened to her and she would get “a lot of money.”\n\nSince this incident, Plaintiff is very afraid now of the police. She has problems sleeping and is very nervous as a result.  Plaintiff was also fired as she had no chance to call out.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.451388/gov.uscourts.nyed.451388.38.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/17431476/jin-v-city-of-new-york/"}],"payroll":{"salary":"109352","regular":"108510","overtime":"7253","other":"25963","total":"141727"},"id":"VBZH","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/VBZH"}
