Timothy Brown to Sue NYPD for $100 Million Following Mistaken Identity and Assault
Timothy Brown, who was mistakenly identified as a suspect during a drug raid in a Brooklyn liquor store, plans to sue the New York Police Department (NYPD) for $100 million. The incident, which occurred in early April, was captured on video and shows Brown being beaten by two officers. Brown's lawyers allege that the officers violated NYPD regulations by failing to activate their body cameras and by using personal phones during the incident. The officers involved have been reassigned, and their drug unit has been disbanded. Brown, who now walks with a cane due to the injuries sustained, expressed his frustration and concern for others, stating that such incidents should not happen to anyone else. The NYPD has not commented on the pending lawsuit.
