Without probable cause, NYPD Officers had entered their home. NYPD Officers asked for Plaintiff's husband's identification. He asked the NYPD officers to leave. NYPD escalated by pointing a flashlight and a taser at Plaintiff's husband. NYPD crossed the doorway threshold and fired the taser at Plaintiff and her husband but it either missed or was defective. The Officer who fired the taser then ran out of the house up the stairs to the street and Plaintiff's husband followed. Plaintiff then heard at least six gunshots. One of the police officers had been shot and Plaintiff's husband had been shot. Officers handcuffed Plaintiff's husband and an ambulance brought him to the hospital where he died from his bullet wounds. NYPD forced Plaintiff to go to the precinct and held her there for many hours not allowed to leave. She was not informed that she was not required to answer questions and was interrogated for at least 40 minutes. She was barred from returning to her home for at least 48 hours. Plaintiff can only communicate fluently in Tagalog. In all follow up proceedings, NYPD officers failed to identify that Plaintiff and her husband did not speak English fluently or provide an interpreter.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.446014/gov.uscourts.nyed.446014.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/16937397/mascarinas-v-city-of-new-york/"}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/Y9UX-salvatore-balistreri.jpg","payroll":{"salary":"109352","regular":"108510","overtime":"12908","other":"17534","total":"138952"},"id":"Y9UX","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/Y9UX"}
