Documentation of these typically private moments has brought to light the depth and frequency of police misconduct abuses by those who are sworn to protect and serve the community.
Many residents of the Five Burroughs, of which the Bronx has the highest number of complaints, not only feel betrayed by the New York City Police Department but also want to be heard and receive due process when their civil rights have been violated.
Greenberg & Stein help you file a police misconduct suit.
So far, police have killed 397 civilians in the United States since January 1, 2016, according to The Counted, an online database for police violence. The largest concentration of police brutality occurred in the Eastern US.
The attorneys at Greenberg & Stein are aware that you have rights and statistically are in danger of having your rights violated or even your life threatened when coming in contact with the police.
According to The Counted, your likelihood of falling victim to police misconduct or brutality increase if you are Native American or African American. These two ethnic groups are at the most risk during confrontations with the NYPD.
At Greenberg & Stein, you have a voice and we want to hear what happened and how your rights or physical and mental health was violated during your encounter with the NYPD.
The most common forms of police misconduct, according to the Cato Institute are intimidation and verbal abuse. But we all know now, largely in part to social media and that most individuals now carry smartphones, this often escalates into physical violence sometimes resulting in death.
If you have fallen victim to any of these forms of police misconduct or harassment, you may be eligible to recover compensation for your suffering, medical expenses, lost time at work or physical, mental and emotional pain.
