Both plaintiffs were recording audio and video and were holding video cameras. Both plaintiffs also had press passes and it was evident that they were there for press purposes. Police officers then arrested protesters when it appeared that the protest had become violent. NYPD officers then directed the plaintiffs to stay back and move back. The plaintiffs complied and were backing up when an officer began to read a warning that said if any person moved onto the street and obstructed traffic, they would be placed under arrest. Right after reading that warning, both plaintiffs were placed under arrest. When placing Plaintiff Davila under arrest, officers forced him to the ground and forced his face into the pavement. They also forcefully twisted his right arm, and when he complained, officers responded by saying \"stop resisting\". His wrists also began to bleed from the handcuffs. Both plaintiffs were transported to One Police Plaza (Mass Arrest Processing Center).","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.477405/gov.uscourts.nysd.477405.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6125832/nadura-v-new-york/"},{"name":"Williams, Gary vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2017-03-16","disposition_date":"2017-09-19","payout_amount":6000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"152447/2017","court":"Supreme Court - New York","officer_name":"Wan, Steven","summary":"On March 29, 2014, at approximately 6:30 p.m., in the vicinity of 15 East 131 Street, where the Plaintiff resided, several police officers from the 25th precinct, including defendants Mark Danon, Timothy Stokes, Steven Wan, Bliss and John or Jane Does #1-10 arrested the Plaintiff, a black male, without arrest or search warrants, probable cause or reasonable suspicion. Plaintiff had asked his sister's boyfriend to leave, and that if he did not, that Plaintiff would call the police. Plaintiff's sister had then called the police and made a false statement that the Plaintiff had struck her and her boyfriend, but when the defendant POs arrived, the Plaintiff's sister recanted that story and noted that Plaintiff had not struck anyone.\n\nPO Wan stated that they would need to take Plaintiff in since he was a Corrections Officer, and Sgt. Danon asked for Plaintiff's firearm, to which request the Plaintiff complied. When Plaintiff asked if he was being arrested, Sgt. Danon said that he was not being arrested, so Plaintiff followed Sgt. Danon to the lobby, where Sgt. Danon ordered one of the officers to handcuff and search plaintiff before he was driven to the 25th precinct. At the precinct, Plaintiff was held in a holding cell for about 3-4 hours before being taken to central booking where his arrest was processed.\n\nIn order to cover up for their actions, to meet productivity quotas and justify overtime expenditures, the defendant officers conspired to falsely and maliciously tell the District Attorney's office that the Plaintiff had committed various crimes, despite having no evidence that the Plaintiff had done so. However, the DA's office refused to prosecute the case given the lack of basis to arrest plaintiff, and Plaintiff was released from central booking.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=MXqK_PLUS_AUVwiFdvfF19sbMNA==","type":"complaint"}]}],"payroll":{"salary":"119980","regular":"115330","overtime":"32836","other":"19395","total":"167562"},"id":"VWRH","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/VWRH"}
