I had the honor of handling this case for a wonderful young person. He was getting groceries for his job when cops assaulted him because they thought his motor scooter was stolen. They tasered him & gave him a concussion. When asked if they used force, cops wrote “no.” #CopsLie
Lt Henry Daverin, wearing a shirt w a “dont tread on me” symbol on it while assaulting a Black teenager on video, had at least 10 prior complaints. NYPD cleared them of wrongdoing after an internal investigation. DA spox initially denied TASER use since NYPD didn’t turn over ppw.
That TASER/force ppw later surfaced. It not being included initially was chalked up to an honest mistake. So was checking “no” on use of force. So was telling numerous lies captured on video, uncovered by our investigators. They’re all still arresting people, to my knowledge.

THREAD (CW throughout) The Mayor tasked a city agency that defends the NYPD from misconduct claims w investigating police misconduct. No surprise that the result is a piece of “both sides” police apologia dumped on NYE. Stuff I found noteworthy...
www1.nyc.gov/assets/law/dow…
The Law Dept report is in response to protests in which the NYPD -- who are paid & trained to do a job they signed up for -- brutalized & abused NYers while exposing them to COVID on camera during a national uprising. It was created without community input.
.@justwongisms, @scotthech, @jennborchetta & I worked on this NYT project. We ID myriad civil rights, patrol guide, & penal law vios by cops in dozens of videos over 2 weeks of protest. The videos reflect common NYPD behavior; the report glosses it over. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS PROTEST EDITION (NYC):

-Leave your phone & use a burner. If you can’t, disable data & location. Disable biometrics like face & finger unlock. Use a passcode

-Write the name of ur lawyer, a lawyer friend, or the NLG — NYC it’s 212 679-6018 — on your arm

1/
-Tell your lawyer that they’re on call if they’re a person you know

-Go with a friend & stay together

-Make sure someone who is not protesting knows where you are

-Designate a trusted person to call the attorney number in the event you are arrested or can’t be located

2/
-While protesting, do not share pictures or videos that could be used to ID others

-Record police if you can do so from a safe distance. It’s LEGAL if you’re not interfering. Share video/pics of abuse & arrests w the targeted person(s) &/or those they’re with

-Wear a mask

The NYPD Patrol Guide states, in caps, “UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY ANY M.O.S. CONDUCT A CAVITY SEARCH.” They are nonetheless often used as a weapon to humiliate & degrade people in custody. Some cops, like Chief McCormack, assault their way thru the ranks. propublica.org/article/over-a…
“Strip search” as defined by the Guide is consistent w the legal definition of “visual cavity search,” & is limited to removing a person’s clothing without then touching them. PG 208-05(C) lays out NYPD rules, such as that these searches should be rare & done in “utmost privacy.”
A “manual cavity search,” which is defined as ANY touching of a person’s private areas, is to be done according to the NYPD’s own rules by a medical professional only — or, apparently, by any officer with leadership ambition & a penchant for sexually abusing New Yorkers.

As PDs we are witness to the lies told by cops to justify their racist policing and prosecutions. #COPSLIE. Police plant evidence, falsify documents, lie about why they arrest or use force and lie while testifying under oath. Please read these stories, share & tell yours: 1/
An undercover told a person he was a veteran whose war injuries were hurting. He was given a pain pill, said he recognized it to be a controlled substance based on his “training,” & arrested the person he lied to. After months in court, labs showed it was an OTC pain med. 2/
Cops denied using any force in arresting a person who had TASER burns across their body. 2/

I have gotten more calls today from people currently incarcerated at Rikers and their families. A hunger strike is starting among those housed at OBCC, a facility there, & I am sharing their experiences & demands at their request. They’re on lockdown, waiting to get sick. THREAD/
A man who was COVID+ was sick in the dorms until he was removed by staff in the middle of the night on Sat. Ppl woke up to see his bed stripped. A guard later confirmed he had the virus. 50 people are sleeping 18 inches apart but none who had contact with him have been tested. 2/
They had to hold a sit-in in their dining hall to demand toilet paper on Friday. They had run out. Now they are out again, and the guards can’t say when it will be replenished. 3/

Someone at Rikers gave my cell # to others & for a couple of days I’ve been getting calls from people whose loved ones are there. They’ve all said some variation of the same thing — the people there need us to hear what is happening to them. They have asked me to share. THREAD/
The accounts are all very similar. People are sleeping in dorms of 40-50 people, less than 2 feet apart. At the center, they try to sleep head to toe. 2/
In one facility the word “shit” is spelled out on the wall in big letters — written in actual feces. It has been there for days and was mentioned by several callers. 3/
