Plaintiff observed his friend, Christopher Smith, being arrested by several NYPD Officers. As Plaintiff's friend was being put into the police van, Plaintiff walked in front of the van to cross the street. An officer approached and shoved Plaintiff with both hands, When the Plaintiff asked why he was shoved, the officer twisted Plaintiff's arm roughly behind him and arrested him. Several officers, including Defendants, handcuffed Plaintiff and forced him into a police van. Defendant Kashinsky then tightened Plaintiff's handcuffs excessively; and when Plaintiff requested that they be loosened, a Defendant Officer laughed and said \"good one.\" Plaintiff requested medical attention several times, but those requests were denied.  When they finally arrived at the precinct, the officers falsely informed employees of Kings County District Attorney's Office that they observed Plaintiff obstructing governmental administration, engaging in disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.  Plaintiff was taken to Brooklyn Central Booking and was subsequently arraigned in Kings County Criminal Court and then released,  After three additional court appearances, the charges were adjourned in contemplation of dismissal. Upon release, Plaintiff received medical treatment for his injured wrist.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.340251.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4322482/chaperon-v-city-of-new-york/"}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24441170-bronx-notified-officers-list-edited_redacted-redacted_redacted","type":"credibility-finding"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21028817-shepherd-9ee303208ceb7d2e30570889adb8cb89fb013268","type":"brady-giglio","lawsuits":["12CV4971"]}],"id":"X6KV","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/X6KV"}
