While POs, potentially including John or Jane Does 1-10, were speaking to Plaintiff's friend PO Palmer unlawfully ordered Plaintiff to get off his phone. Plaintiff refused to do so. PO Palmer called additional officers over and again ordered Plaintiff to get off his phone. As Plaintiff attempted to explain he did not think he needed to do so POs grabbed for the phone and began to punch and choke Plaintiff, ultimately dragging him from the vehicle and injuring him so severely an ambulance was called. While they waited for the ambulance POs affixed metal handcuffs to Plaintiff's wrists in an excessively tight fashion and left him face down on the pavement in open view of the public. POs Silva and Palmer targeted Plaintiff due to Plaintiff's race. \n\nPlaintiff's injuries required hospitalization. On his release he was sent to Central Booking, processed, and unlawfully arraigned for resisting and criminal possession of a knife, though at no point did Plaintiff resist or posses a knife. PO Silva signed a false criminal complaint against Plaintiff, fabricating that Plaintiff refused to provide identification and attempted to drive away. POs caused this malicious prosecution to be initiated in order to enact retribution for perceived disrespect from the Plaintiff, for overtime compensation, and other illegitimate reasons. Plaintiff accepted an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal on December 3, 2019.","documents":[{"url":"https://web.archive.org/web/20240904155031/https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=vqIKoCXcszGJ7GUROSrLyg==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Jones, Shamel vs City of New York","start_date":"2017-11-08","disposition_date":"2025-06-03","payout_amount":75000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"030145/2017E","court":"Supreme Court - Bronx","officer_name":"Silva, Robert C.","summary":"On May 18, 2016, plaintiff was wrongfully and falsely arrested, detained, and imprisoned without any rights or grounds.
