The plaintiff stopped at a stop sign at the intersection of Reno and Clawson and looked both ways before proceeding. As she was proceeding, out of the corner of her eye she noticed a NYPD patrol car improperly turning the corner speeding in the wrong direction on the one-way street. The defendant NYPD officers were using no sirens, horn, or loudspeaker, and only had on its flashing lights.  As a result of the defendant's reckless behavior, he caused the vehicle to make contact with a parked vehicle. The defendant then began to curse at the plaintiff, and demanded she pull over and give them her identification. When the plaintiff asked why her identification was being requested, the defendants picked her up and threw her to the ground, leaned on her back, and stomped on her.","documents":[{"url":"https://web.archive.org/web/20240731161808/https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=59_PLUS_fRxgSAXpRLfOc4YPp4A==","type":"complaint"}]}],"discipline":[{"disposition_date":"2023-10-09","case_no":"2023-28842","recommendation":"Command Discipline - A","allegations":[{"desc":"Wrongfully discourteous to an individual known to the Department."}]}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/W5VM-paul-mercuri.jpg","payroll":{"salary":"96477","regular":"96183","overtime":"50181","other":"18054","total":"164418"},"id":"W5VM","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/W5VM"}
