Nassau Police Department Shows Its Stripes and Targets, Mistreats and Abuses Two Black Youths Riding Their Bikes Near Their Home — Parents Were Intentionally Left in the Dark
Fred Brewington held a press conference at his office on January 27 and announced he filed a notice of claim against the Nassau County Police Department (NCPD) on behalf of David and Mondy Tillery, residents of Roosevelt and parents of 15-year-old Ahmand Tillery and 14-year-old Jahmeir Tillery. They were joined by local residents and community groups to announce the filing.
The Notice of Claim took action against the NCPD for the vicious physical abuse, wrongful treatment, violations of constitutional rights, false arrest and abuse at the hands of Nassau County police officers on January 21, 2020 in Roosevelt as the two young boys were riding their bikes on their way home. The mistreatment of Ahmand and Jahmeir by the officers was the subject of the lawsuit claiming violations of New York State Law and Federal Laws 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981, 1983, and others. The Nassau County police negligently, wantonly, recklessly, intentionally and knowingly sought to and did wrongfully deprive Ahmand and Jahmeir of terms, conditions and privileges of their status as citizens, through unlawful abuse of process, misinformation, profiling, character assassination, assault and battery.
The two brothers were riding their bicycles on the way home with another friend, when they were violently stopped by members of the NCPD, who pulled up in cars and snatched both boys off and away from their bicycles, throwing each of them to the ground, kneeled on, hit about their bodies, having their arms wrenched behind them, slammed to the hood of a car, wrongfully searched, abusively handcuffed, slammed against the side of a car and then denied the ability to contact, notify or otherwise inform their parents of their whereabouts and what was transpiring.
