Report Copyright Violation | Four men sue NYPD after being held for 30 hours; for laughing at cops [ link to news.yahoo.com] Four Queens men sue NYPD after being held for 30 hours, busted for laughing at cops
Four Queens men claim they were locked up for more than 30 hours by cops seeking revenge on a crowd of men who laughed at an officer who couldn't catch a fleeing drug suspect.
The men insist they didn't even laugh, says their lawyer Gabriel Harvis, who filed suit against the NYPD and 10 unidentified officers in Brooklyn Federal Court. They believe they were arrested because cops wanted to take their frustration out on them, he said.
"The cops knew my clients had done nothing wrong, but they didn't care," said Harvis, who represents Abdul Kabba, Isaiah Barnes, Hasan Allen and Ishmial Deas. Police "were embarrassed, so they abused their power by locking them up anyway."
The four were held for 27 hours in the 103rd Precinct stationhouse before the Queens district attorney's office dropped the charges.Drug laws and scumbags NYPD cops strike again! |
