EDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 29 – In the U.S. District
Court for the Eastern District
of New York at noon on
December 29, a proceeding was
held by Magistrate Judge Vera
M. Scanlon in the case of man
who says he was beaten by
police while filing on May 31,
2020. Inner City Press covered
it.
Rayne
Valentine says he was on his
way home from work at King
County Hospital when he saw a
man in a hoodie being chased
by NYPD Detective Amjad Kasaji
and others. He filmed it, he
says, then was pushed down and
beaten.
On December
29 the City's lawyers said
they cannot respond on Kasaji
as he is the subject of an
Internal Affairs Division
investigating. Judge Scanlon
couldn't that they should
provide the names of the John
Doe police officers, in short
order. We'll see.
The case is
Valentine v. City of New York,
21-cv-4867 (EDNY: Komittee /
Scanlon)
