She was carrying two personal stun guns (purchasable on Amazon.com, and elsewhere) for her personal protection. Ms. O'Halloran arrived at the protest at or around 6:00 p.m. The protest involved a march, that lead through Washington Square Park, and eventually arrived at or around the corner of 23rd Street and Madison Avenue. When the protest arrived at that location, police charged the group of protesters. Ms. O'Halloran and others dispersed in response, briefly going to Madison Square Park, then left the park to depart. As they left the park, another group of police including John and Jane Does 1-10, including Defendants Latanzio, Arias, and Delgado was on an adjacent corner. That group of police shouted to stop, and then arrested Plaintiffs’ friends.\n\nWhile Ms. O'Halloran was in unlawful custody, the Defendants knowingly forwarded false, misleading, and facially insufficient statements to the New York County District Attorney. Further, the Defendants illegally used group probable cause to arrest Ms. O'Halloran because she was part of a group or perceived group. The arrest was made without the Defendants having made an individualized determination that there was probable cause to arrest Ms. O'Halloran based on her own, individual conduct, as opposed to the perceived “group conduct.” Despite that, and knowing they had not seen Ms. O'Halloran individually engaged in illegal\nconduct, Defendants both charged her with crimes based on group conduct — and reported it to the media in retaliation for the message of the perceived group.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=feacp2qb9wYBsSeCICRCww==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Douglas, Seron vs Abdi, Naji Al., et al.","start_date":"2021-07-01","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"","docket":"808742/2021E","court":"Supreme Court - Bronx","summary":"On October 3, 2020, Plaintiff was a patron at a deli where Defendants Naji Al Abdi and Mohamed Ali were working. Abdi and Ali verbally then physically attacked Plaintiff, causing significant physical injuries. At some point Plaintiff left the deli.

PO Osario arrived in his police vehicle and used it as a weapon to hit Plaintiff, who was at that time running on the sidewalk.
