Plaintiffs were visiting and socializing at an annual barbecue called "family" day for the residents and friends of people living in the Marcy Projects. The police swarmed in the courtyard without warrant or cause and began abusing people. Plaintiff Kenneth Walston was trying to film acts of police misconduct, and police grabbed his phone, pulled his arms, placed excessively tight handcuffs on his wrists, and slammed him into a fence. Finally he was shoved into a police vehicle. Plaintiff Tracy Wilson was shoved and slammed also to the ground repeatedly. Nevertheless, she was not arrested.
